From credential theft to network vulnerability exploitation and ransomware incidents on highly secure organizations, the year 2020 has been surprisingly rough on IT security. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, companies around the world are reporting more cyberattacks than ever before, and although the techniques used or the method of attack may be new, the vectors of attack over the years remain unchanged.
It’s no secret: the number of security vulnerabilities organizations must contend with is overwhelming. According to a 2019 Risk Based Security report, there were 22,316 newly-discovered vulnerabilities last year. One Patch Tuesday disclosed a record number of 327 vulnerabilities in a single day. Just keeping up is becoming a monumental task. But knowing where and how your organization may be vulnerable is critical to maintaining a healthy security posture.
These vulnerabilities were observed to be critical in October 2020. Cyberint's Research Team recommends to patch and take the necessary steps immediately.

As recent global health events have changed the world, the cybersecurity landscape has changed along with it. Almost all organizations — large or small — have seen their attack surface grow. For those unfamiliar with the term, an attack surface represents the sum total of all the ways in which a bad actor can exploit an endpoint or network to retrieve data. Every endpoint that connects to or communicates with the network is part of the network attack surface.
