Imagine you're watching the news. A criminal is on the loose in your neighborhood, targeting homes. Would you leave your front door unlocked tonight?
Of course not.
Yet many businesses effectively do just that—leaving their digital doors wide open by delaying critical security fixes. Alarmingly, over two-thirds of businesses take more than 24 hours to patch serious vulnerabilities in their systems.
Why is this so dangerous?
Every moment a vulnerability goes unfixed, cyber criminals gain more opportunities to strike, leading to potential data breaches, financial loss, and reputational damage.
But what exactly is a vulnerability?
Simply put, it’s a weakness in your IT infrastructure—like outdated software or misconfigured security settings—that hackers exploit to access sensitive business data. Security tools often identify these vulnerabilities, but businesses frequently stumble when it comes to acting swiftly and decisively.
Many IT teams are caught up in manual, inefficient processes. They waste valuable time decoding incomplete data or switching between incompatible tools, leading to delays, higher costs, and prolonged exposure to threats.
Here's the truth: Each hour that passes without patching a vulnerability is another hour cyber criminals have to exploit it.
