Rising exploitation of edge devices and network device vulnerabilities outpaces remediation
Trend
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
Exploitation of edge devices surged from 3% to 22% between 2023 and 2024, widening the gap between attacker speed and remediation across network device vulnerabilities. The trend increases the odds that perimeter controls are bypassed before fixes land, leaving organizations exposed to lateral movement and deeper network access.

Initial report: Rising exploitation of edge devices and network device vulnerabilities outpaces remediation
Initial DisclosureEdge and network devices became a faster-moving exploitation target as zero-days dominated the most exploited issues in 2024. Remediation remained slow enough to leave a broad window for access-bypass attempts.
