A critical RCE vulnerability is disclosed in a widely used VPN application. Your company's vulnerability alert service (if you even have one) is yet to alert you to the vulnerability, so you remain unaware.

Within 24 hours, attackers have identified and exploited the flaw. They gain access to your network and suspicious activity is eventually detected in your system by internal monitoring tools.

You set about an urgent investigation, at which time the vulnerability alert for the issue finally arrives.

Faster Alerts Prevent Costly Breaches

Time is a critical currency when it comes to cybersecurity. New vulnerabilities increased by 67% between 2023 and 2025, while exploited vulnerabilities rose by around 30% over the same period.
