Risk-based patch management for vulnerabilities

Cybercriminals don't wait for companies to patch a vulnerability. The attack usually succeeds quickly and is then expected. Risk-based patch management is recommended so that the time factor loses some of its weight. From the moment a vulnerability is published, it takes an average of just 22 days to develop a working exploit. On the company side, however, it takes between 100 and 120 days on average until an available patch is implemented. One reason for this discrepancy is certainly that companies have long been powerless against the sheer number of new vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities: In 22 days…

Is 5G a security risk for OT?

5G: Until recently, OT (Operational Technology) infrastructures were designed as isolated, shielded environments, disconnected from the corporate network - with the result that cybersecurity has not received much attention. With the advancement of an ever more networked factory, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and the latest 5G mobile communications standard, companies can no longer avoid implementing security concepts for their production facilities that are equivalent to those they already do in the classic IT environment.
