5 Vulnerability Shifts to Know

Arctic Wolf Labs' report reviews the 2022 threat landscape and predicts 2023 trends: a record increase in published vulnerabilities (driven largely by low-severity entries), continued exploitation of prior-year high-impact CVEs (notably RCEs like Log4Shell and Exchange issues), growing abuse of remote access/RMM tools, an expanding attack surface from cloud/remote work/IoT, and observable geopolitical influences on ransomware activity; organizations are urged to prioritize patching, cloud security, and visibility into remote management traffic.
