Verizon DBIR 2025: Edge KEVs Are Increasingly Left Unpatched - and More Often Exploited in Breaches
Verizon's 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) documents an eightfold increase in exploitation of edge vulnerabilities, which are security gaps in devices and systems at network boundaries. Despite these vulnerabilities appearing in the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog and carrying immediate exploitation risk, many organizations leave them unpatched.
Why it matters: Security teams must prioritize patching edge vulnerabilities given the sharp rise in real-world exploits; delay increases breach likelihood across all organizations relying on edge infrastructure.
