In today’s network-dependent world, resilient infrastructure is crucial for uninterrupted business operations despite disruptions. However, network engineers face growing challenges as cybercriminals leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to exploit vulnerabilities quickly. In 2023, the average time to exploit a vulnerability was just 44 days, with 25% of vulnerabilities exploited on the same day they were discovered and 75% within 19 days (source).

With the increasing speed and sophistication of cyber threats, traditional tools that only scan for vulnerabilities are inadequate. Manual processes and infrequent maintenance cannot keep up. Organizations must focus on cyber resilience, implementing automated and proactive measures to ensure continuous security and updates for their network infrastructure.
