VULNERABILITY AND THREAT TRENDS REPORT 2018

Analysis of current vulnerabilities , exploits and threats in play
PRESENTED BY he old boundaries

T of cybersecurity and cyberattacks are disappearing – from the network perimeter , to distinct types of malware , to nation-state tactics vs that of the cybercriminal .

The attacker ’ s advantage lies in this fluidity , exploiting endpoint vulnerabilities and inadequate security controls ; reshaping attacks to evade detection ; and repurposing tactics , techniques and procedures for their own use .
Cyberdefence , however , is often confined to silos stemming from disconnected processes , teams and network locations and disparate data from various technologies and vendors .
But the attacker sees no silos – only an attack surface with cracks to slip in through and press deeper into the network .
This report examines trends in vulnerabilities , exploits and threats in order to better align your security strategy with the current threat landscape . Vulnerability management programmes particularly are in need of context . Prioritising vulnerabilities by CVSS scores alone still leaves most enterprises with a laundry list of to-dos and no understanding of the threat a vulnerability poses to their organisation .
Adding intelligence of exploit activity in the wild , available sample exploit code and which vulnerabilities are being packaged in distributed crimeware will help organisations focus on the small subset of vulnerabilities putting them most at risk of attack . u
