A vulnerability is a software code error that hackers can use to gain direct access to an IT system. "Exposure" is an incident in which a previously detected weakness has been taken advantage of by an unauthorized actor in the network. Recent research suggests that only 2% of all exposures give attackers seamless access to critical assets, while 75% of exposure incidents along attack paths lead to "dead ends," preventing cybercriminals from reaching sensitive information.
While cyberattacks have been on the rise in recent years, one of the biggest threats to organizations’ cybersecurity is fatigue in the IT team, which leads to burnout syndrome. Gartner predicts that half of security managers will change jobs by 2025 due to industry-wide burnout. A recent study reveals that 66% of cybersecurity professionals in Europe claim to have experienced fatigue during 2022. In addition, 51% say they have worked more than four hours extra a week above their scheduled hours.
