Companies keep getting breached by vulnerabilities they already knew about

A survey of 300 IT and cybersecurity leaders in the United States and United Kingdom found a significant gap between vulnerability discovery and remediation. Organizations identify more weaknesses than ever before, but struggle with the processes of assigning, approving, deploying, and confirming fixes, leaving known vulnerabilities exposed to breach risk.

Why it matters: Security teams and IT leaders face a gap in vulnerability management workflows that leaves discovered weaknesses unpatched, creating exploitable gaps that attackers actively target.
