vPenTest conducted over 10,000 automated internal penetration tests, revealing significant security gaps many organizations overlook. Common assumptions about firewalls and other security measures lack efficacy against simple issues like misconfigurations, unpatched systems, and weak passwords. The findings indicate that 50% of security issues arise from misconfigurations, 30% from unpatched vulnerabilities, and 20% stem from weak passwords. The article ranks the ten most critical internal network security risks and underscores the urgency for organizations to address these vulnerabilities before cybercriminals exploit them successfully.
Many businesses still have critical security gaps that attackers can easily exploit, stemming from misconfigurations, missing patches, and weak passwords.
Organizations often assume that firewalls, endpoint protection, and SIEMs are enough, but how effective are these defenses when put to the test?
If these weaknesses exist in your environment, attackers will find them—it’s just a matter of time.
vPenTest helps organizations find exploitable vulnerabilities before cybercriminals can, revealing that many security risks are misconfigurations and weak passwords.
