From the report, “For our 4th Year running, welcome to the edgescan Vulnerability Stats Report. This report aims to demonstrate the state of full stack security based on edgescan data for 2018. The edgescan report has become a reliable source for truly representing the global state of cyber security. This year we took a deeper look at vulnerability metrics from a known vulnerability (CVE) and visibility standpoint. We still see high rates of known/patchable vulnerabilities which have working exploits in the wild, which possibly demonstrates it is hard to patch production systems effectively on a consistent basis.”
