BOSTON, May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitsight, the leader in cyber risk management, today released a new report by its TRACE security research team analyzing the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA) authoritative source of vulnerabilities that have been exploited in the wild.

Key Points: 
  • "Even critical severity vulnerabilities take four and a half months to remediate on average.
  • Key KEV prevalence and remediation findings from the Bitsight TRACE study include:
    Vulnerabilities included in the KEV catalog are highly prevalent and over a third of organizations had at least one in 2023.
  • Despite faster remediation of KEVs versus non-KEVs, more than 60% are remediated after deadlines provided by CISA
    Remediation of KEVs varies based on the severity:
    Known ransomware vulnerabilities are highly prevalent but remediated faster.
  • "The data leaves no doubt: CISA's creation of the KEV catalog has been hugely positive.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The temperature dropped about 10 degrees, a cool breeze sent chills across shoulders and down spines as an eerie darkness crept over the sky in Indianapolis on Monday afternoon. The giant dinosaurs bursting out of The Children's Museum of Indianapolis (the world's largest children's museum) were safely prepared with huge solar protective glasses; but the humans had a challenging time describing the breathtaking display and what they felt as the moon completely blocked the sun for close to four minutes shortly after 3 p.m. EST in Indianapolis. There was a powerful sense of awe, wonder and disbelief. Then just as the moon covered the sun and a halo of light peeked out around it, cheers erupted as visitors celebrated what many are calling a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Key Points: 
  • It's our only chance to study the inner atmosphere of the sun called the corona, which is a mysterious place.
  • We don't know how the sun makes it that hot, the rest of the sun isn't that hot.
  • Jane Rigsby
    Some of the top scientists in the world also expressed their fascination with the celestial occurrence.
  • Those who are wondering what The Children's Museum is doing with leftover eclipse glasses will be happy to know they are being recycled.
