2021 was yet another year of IT security chaos and uncertainties. The year saw a drastic acceptance of the hybrid work model among various organizations across the globe. Whatever your working model is, on-premises, remote, or hybrid, one crucial process will remain the same in your security strategy. You need to continuously discover and manage the vulnerabilities in your devices to minimize the attack surface and protect your network from possible cyberattacks. This is easier with a Vulnerability Management System. This year saw the most critical vulnerabilities of 2021. To reduce these vulnerabilities, installing a vulnerability management tool for our IT infrastructure is essential.

Most Critical Vulnerabilities of 2021:

The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) holds 21,957 vulnerabilities in 2021, the highest of the previous years. Many vulnerabilities hit the strike last year, including the infamous Kaseya and the latest Apache Log4J vulnerabilities. Undoubtedly, the 2021 numbers are big, and you might wonder what to look out for and remediate first.

A smarter vulnerability management tool will save time and improve your organization’s security by multiple folds. Instead of looking for all the vulnerabilities, you can choose the most critical ones and eliminate them in your network. To help you with it, the Annual Vulnerability Report 2021 from SecPod is out now.

Annual Vulnerability Report of Most Critical Vulnerabilities of 2021:

We have put together the Annual vulnerability report to provide information on the top network vulnerabilities from January 2021 to December 2021. The vulnerabilities reported here have either caused severe damage or pose severe risks. We highly recommend that yx`ou quickly discover and remediate these vulnerabilities to prevent any security mishaps.

What the report consists of?
