Major firms leave critical cyber vulnerabilities unpatched for extended periods Source: InsuranceBusiness.ca www.insurancebusiness.ca/ca/news/c… A study of more than 2,000 organisations — including FTSE 350 and S&P 500 companies — shows that 88 per cent of those exposed to actively exploited vulnerabilities remained unpatched for at least six months, despite available fixes. The analysis highlights significant delays in essential maintenance and a persistent gap between vulnerability detection and remediation, exposing enterprises to ongoing exploitation risk across web applications, infrastructure platforms, networking hardware and secure protocols.
