How to Manage the Rising Tide of CVEs

Software defects across MOVEit file-transfer services, Log4Shell and Citrix Bleed are among the highest-profile vulnerabilities that have been exploited in recent years, but they represent just a sliver of the total CVEs causing widespread damage.

The volume of CVEs is steadily increasing each year — SecurityScorecard recorded 29,000 vulnerabilities in 2023 and already this year it tracked nearly 27,500 vulnerabilities.

That number is expected to hit 34,888 in 2024, a 25% increase, according to Coalition’s 2024 Cyber Threat Index report. It underscores the challenge for organizations to continuously manage vulnerabilities and strengthen defenses against potential exploits.
