Vulnerabilities are being discovered, reproduced, and weaponized faster than ever in the history of enterprise security. As a result, the window between a vulnerability being disclosed and indiscriminate exploitation observed across the internet is now measured in hours, not days. The…

Vulnerabilities from years ago still opening doors for attackers

Exploitation timelines continued to compress in enterprise environments, with newly disclosed flaws reaching active use almost immediately and older weaknesses remaining active years after disclosure. (Source: Cisco Talos) Findings from Cisco Talos’ 2025 Year in Review show how attackers combined rapid weaponization with long-term exposure spanning infrastructure, identity systems, and user workflows. Top-targeted vulnerabilities show…

Software vulnerabilities push credential abuse aside in cloud intrusions
