A vulnerability refers to weaknesses or flaws in an IT network that attackers can exploit to gain unauthorized access, perform malicious actions, or compromise the security of an organization’s data and network. Cybercriminals are constantly on the lookout for vulnerabilities to exploit, using them as a means to launch attacks such as data breaches, malware infections, or denial of service attacks.
VULNERABILITIES ARE THE ACHILLES HEEL OF YOUR IT INFRASTRUCTURE

60% of data breaches are caused by unpatched vulnerabilities.
70% of applications contain at least one vulnerability after 5 years in production.
84% of companies have high-risk vulnerabilities, half of which could be removed with a simple software update.
