The quantity of vulnerabilities are exploding in today’s dynamic environments, while attackers are exploiting them faster than ever before—and with greater sophistication and stealth. In so- called “zero-day attacks,” exploits are created for vulnerabilities in which a patch has not been released. In fact, X-Force found that 77 percent of all exploitable vulnerabilities have a public exploit available on the very same day.3 Then, in addition to the potential lag time between the disclosure of vulnerabilities and the availability of a patch, organizations need time to determine which systems are affected, prioritize their remediation, and take corrective action to patch those machines.
