Reduce Mean Time to
Remediate Vulnerabilities
with TuxCare
The principal enabler of successful data breaches and ransomware attacks is unpatched vulnerabilities in systems. Today the average time for exploits to appear in the wild is just days or hours after a high or critical severity vulnerability is discovered. Unpatched vulnerabilities with active exploits create an unacceptable risk for organizations.
What are the risks?
The threats your organization faces change and evolve constantly. Unpatched systems and devices, outdated languages and packages, and new vulnerabilities are exploited daily, costing companies billions of dollars. Ransomware attacks will cost organizations over $70 billion within the next few years.
-
According to a 2020 Verizon report, 43% of data breaches were attacks on web applications.
-
Surveys conducted by Cybersecurity Ventures concluded that ransomware would attack a business, consumer, or device every 11 seconds in 2021. That number is projected to move to every 2 seconds by 2031 based on the current annual growth in attacks. 3.6 million ransomware attacks are launched for 2022, representing a 25% growth over 2021.
-
Governments worldwide saw a 1,885% increase in ransomware attacks, and the health care industry faced a 755% increase in those attacks in 2021.
What can I do to protect my organization?
Timely updating and patching of your systems have the most significant impact on your security. It sounds simple, but most companies are chronically late in patching their systems, and many don’t seem to patch at all. Why is that?
-
The hacker’s rule of thumb is most PHP and other systems’ time to patch a vulnerability or patch (MTTP) is between 60 and 150 days. SecOps usually send out a patch within 38 days on average.
-
Security compliance mandates include PCI-DSS, NIST-800-53, SOC 2, and HIPAA, which require organizations to maintain updated patches for all production systems interacting with regulated data.
-
Failure to maintain patches exposed the organization’s cybersecurity risk, impacted its compliance status, and impacted its ability to deliver its products and services to its clients.
