Patching isn’t just an IT operations problem; it’s also a security problem. Highly organized cybercriminals are constantly searching for vulnerabilities in the software and systems on which organizations depend.
For example, zero-day vulnerabilities and software supply-chain attacks were the cause of 21% of security incidents among enterprises last year, according to the Foundry 2021 Security Priorities Study.
Significantly, only 10% of organizations addressed all open vulnerabilities within one year of discovery, according to a study conducted by Tenable.
