One of the biggest challenges of cyber security teams is to have a good vulnerability management policy, since is practically impossible to patch every vulnerability out there. Cognyte scoured the Deep and Dark Web to discover the most popular CVEs among threat actors during the last year. We are pleased to introduce our new CVE report to help you better prioritize vulnerability management.
Preventing a zero day attack is crucial for cyber security teams, but according to Gartner, “the top issue in vulnerability management is that organizations aren’t prioritizing their patching and compensating controls to align to vulnerabilities targeted by threat actors.” The advisory finds that although breaches are increasing, a small set of vulnerabilities are being exploited. The key for cybersecurity teams is finding the most commonly exploited vulnerabilities. But how can you find them?
Identifying which CVEs will be the biggest threats in the future is daunting. It isn’t only a matter of cataloguing past cyber-attacks. The goal is to get into the minds of dark actors: to observe their forums, hear what they are saying and learn their plans. In doing this, we are able to identify which CVEs have the most buzz – and what kind of plans cyber-criminals have for them.
In our research we dove deep, searching forums all over the globe. We found over a thousand CVEs. Here is the raw data we started with:
The raw data was a good starting point, but our goal isn’t to tell security teams that there are hundreds of exploits. Our report delivers actionable insights as to which CVEs are the biggest threats, and how they will be exploited.
Our first conclusion while working on the research findings’ analysis was that the popularity of a CVE can be based both on the number of posts published about it and the engagement of the posts. Popular CVEs were widely distributed among multiple forms and languages.
Here’s a taste of a few of the most popular CVEs we found:
