MILPITAS, Calif., April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A review of SonicWall telemetry data suggests that the most widespread network attacks to small businesses (SMBs) are older vulnerabilities with a large amount of publicly available information and affecting major vendors. In light of this data, prioritization is a critically important factor for today's CISOs who are asked to manage and prioritize risk.

Key Points:

In light of this data, prioritization is a critically important factor for today's CISOs who are asked to manage and prioritize risk.
"In order to properly prioritize threats, we must first understand what attacks, vulnerabilities, and tactics are being used by our enemies," said SonicWall Executive Director of Threat Research Doug McKee.
"Relying too heavily on one factor (e.g., CVSS scores) can lead to an incomplete view of the risk associated with a vulnerability.
From January 2022 to March 2024, using SonicWall IPS data, SonicWall determined the most widespread attacks against small businesses.
