Is Your Cybersecurity Truly Resolved?

Is your IT department convinced that a security issue has been completely resolved? It may sound obvious, but recent research shows that this is often not the case. Many organizations lack the control to confirm that a patched vulnerability remains truly secure. This brings unnecessary risks.

According to experts, the time criminals need to exploit a security weakness is sometimes shorter than the time it takes to discover and fix the problem. This means that companies can be continuously vulnerable, even if action has already been taken. Therefore, it is not enough to detect and 'fix' a problem; the solution must also be proven effective and remain so.

What does this mean specifically for your SME? It is crucial not to blindly trust the notification that a security vulnerability has been patched. Ask for confirmation and, if possible, for an additional check. This may involve investing in better control systems or collaborating with an external cybersecurity partner for this purpose. Without this extra step, you risk old problems resurfacing or the vulnerability never being fully resolved, leaving your company data and systems vulnerable to attacks.
