Vulnerabilities and exposures to rise to 1,900 a month in 2023: Coalition>
CSO Online – Apurva Venkat
Cybersecurity insurance firm Coalition has predicted that there will be 1,900 average monthly critical Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) in 2023, a 13% increase over 2022.

The predictions are a part of the company’s Cyber Threat Index, which was compiled using data gathered by the company’s active risk management and reduction technology, combining data from underwriting and claims, internet scans, its global network of honeypot sensors, and scanning over 5.2 billion IP addresses.

The 1,900 CVEs would include 270 high-severity and 155 critical-severity vulnerabilities, the report said. For most CVEs, the time to exploit is within 90 days of public disclosure, while the majority of exploits take place within the first 30 days, the Coalition report said.

About 94% of organizations scanned in 2022 had at least one unencrypted service exposed to the internet, the research noted. The use of unauthenticated databases increased in 2022, specifically Redis.
