Seven out of every ten open vulnerabilities observed by customers belongs to just three vendors, Oracle, Microsoft and Adobe.
These are the findings of cyber security enterprise Kenna Security in their new report Prioritization to Prediction, which explores how enterprises are dealing with open vulnerabilities.

In their report Kenna found that Oracle accounts for 34 percent of the open vulnerabilities that customers have observed, while Microsoft and Adobe both stand at 17 percent. Kenna is quick to point out that the fact these companies are in the top three is not surprising given their extensive foothold within the market.

They also found that 40 percent of vulnerabilities discovered in enterprise networks are still, as of today, not patched. While over 75 percent of common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) are left open a year after they have been published.

Banking Apps Also at Risk From Open Vulnerabilities
While the research from Kenna Security shows how many vulnerabilities are exploitable, a similar report from application security enterprise Veracode found that 67 percent of applications used by banks are at risk of leaking information.

Veracode in their State Of Software Security report found that over two-thirds of banking applications are at risk of threat actors exploiting them to reveal sensitive data that could be used to further exploit the application or its users.

Alarming to say the least.

Feels great knowing 40% of all enterprise networks can be taken down by something previously fixed.

If you're living and you're not rich (or sometimes even if you are), chances are your details have been leaked somewhere at one point or another, don't worry too much about it, especially if you live in the US
