More than 73 per cent of corporate network devices analysed by Dimension Data during 2010 were carrying at least one known security vulnerability. This figure has increased dramatically because in 2009 it was 38 per cent. Researchers attribute this increase to a single higher risk vulnerability – PSIRT 109444A. This risk was identified by Cisco in September 2009, and is now found in about 66% of all devices. The findings show that many organisations show inconsistent and incomplete visibility of their technology estates. This goal can be achieved if companies have visibility into the lifecycle status of their assets.”]
