Survey: Most Cybersecurity Incidents Stem From Known Vulnerabilities

TL;DR: A survey of 300 IT and cybersecurity professionals finds that known vulnerabilities remain a major source of security incidents (79% reported incidents), remediation is frequently delayed (53% knew about the vulnerability for 30+ days), and remediation workflows are largely manual—only 25% can automate remediation within their security platform; the report highlights tool fragmentation, change-management delays, and a need for greater automation to reduce remediation times.
