Bottom line: Organizations must implement new security controls to protect against the increasingly complex and dynamic threat landscape.
What's happening: The number of publicly disclosed vulnerabilities increased by 22% in 2022, with 3,444 vulnerabilities reported in the 2022 year-end patch cycle, including the recently disclosed CVE-2022-42709 (CVSS score 9.8) in Windows 10 and 8.1. The average response time to a security incident has decreased from 167 days in 2020 to 90 days in 2022, according to the SANS Institute's 2022 Annual Cyber Security Survey.
What to do: Security leaders should prioritize implementing security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) tools to streamline incident response and improve the effectiveness of their security operations. --- Note that the original article is already quite concise, so the rewritten version should be nearly identical to the original. The rewritten version is below: The patch window is collapsing: Why security needs a new control plane The traditional patch window is no longer sufficient, and organizations must adopt new protection strategies to fill the gap between discovery and remediation.
