Break-ins through firewalls and VPNs jumped sevenfold in a year, and the window to catch one closed to days.
For years, the fastest way into a business was a bad click. Not anymore. Attackers found something faster: the device sitting at the edge of your network, running code nobody’s looked at in months. No email. No phone call. No one on your team does anything wrong. The device is just out there, and someone finds the crack before you do.
The math got worse fast. Break-ins through this route made up a small slice of attacks a year ago. Now it’s the single biggest way businesses get hit, and the gap between a flaw going public and someone using it against you has shrunk to days. A patch cycle built around “we’ll get to it next month” doesn’t survive that.
Here’s the part most businesses never hear about: a device can say it’s patched and still be wide open. One vendor’s fix last year needed six extra steps after the update installed, on top of the update itself. Thousands of businesses ran the update, saw “patched,” and moved on. The gap stayed open the whole time.
That’s the difference between installing a patch and closing one. We don’t stop at the update. We verify the fix actually took, and we watch your edge devices ourselves, on our own clock, not whenever the next scan happens to run. Most businesses find out a firewall failed the day someone’s already inside it. Here, we’re the ones who catch it first.
The front door moved. We moved with it.
