Exposed And Unaware: The State Of Enterprise Security In 2025
Help Net Security, Thursday, April 24th, 2025
The Edgescan 2025 Vulnerability Statistics Report offers a data-rich snapshot of the global cybersecurity landscape, drawing from thousands of assessments and penetration tests conducted in 2024.
Now in its 10th year, the report analyzes full-stack security trends across industries, highlighting common vulnerabilities, patching delays, and risk hotspots. With insights into exploit availability, attack surface exposure, and remediation timelines, it equips organizations with the data they need to make smarter, risk-based decisions.
The report highlights a persistent challenge in cybersecurity: not all vulnerabilities are created equal. Some occur infrequently but carry high breach potential-what Edgescan describes as 'intensive' risks. Despite the availability of prioritization models like EPSS, CISA KEV, CVSS, and SSVC, their inconsistencies make it difficult to rely on any single framework for decision-making.
