The State of Vulnerabilities in 2020

As the COVID-19 pandemic compelled organizations to accelerate digital transformation processes, the state of vulnerabilities and the nature of the cyberattack landscape changed - and not necessarily in ways you would expect. In The State of Vulnerabilities in 2020, Imperva researchers reveal how the number of vulnerabilities changed in 2020 relative to years past, what the dominant root causes were, and how this affected cyberattacks. In this report, you will learn:

• Where vulnerabilities are consistently growing so you can attenuate your cybersecurity posture accordingly
• Which root causes of vulnerabilities result in the most cyberattacks
• What web application protection standards are helping security teams decrease vulnerabilities in APIs
• Why vulnerabilities in third-party plugins will continue to be a sweet spot for cyberattackers
