In today’s digital era, businesses are embracing rapid changes to enhance efficiency, but with it comes a surge in cybersecurity challenges. Last year saw a staggering 29,000 new IT vulnerabilities reported globally, emphasising the need for a strategic approach.
The Challenge:
Businesses face overwhelming data and fragmentation issues, operating across intricate networks that make it challenging to identify vulnerabilities. With interconnected systems, a vulnerability in one device can lead to widespread disruption, creating a need for effective risk management.

Information Overload:
The National Vulnerability Database reported over 25,000 vulnerabilities in 2022 alone, causing information overload for organisations. It’s unrealistic for firms to patch everything; they can only address 5-20% of identified vulnerabilities per month. Prioritisation becomes crucial, focusing on the most critical vulnerabilities in real-time.
The Need for Change:
Traditional risk prioritisation methods need to be revised in complex network ecosystems. Shadow IT, data obsolescence and outdated asset inventories worsen the confusion. A new approach is essential to adapt to the evolving cyber landscape.
