The Benefits of Red Zone Threat Intelligence

A study by FortiGuard Labs reveals less than 1% of observed vulnerabilities in an enterprise-size organization are on endpoints, helping firms pinpoint areas under attack. Directly contrasting assumptions, not all Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) on endpoints are exploited. The report suggests a “Red Zone” approach, where an organization’s active attack surface is reduced via prioritized risk mitigation; the Red Zone, where data is most vulnerable, was found to be 8.9% in 2H2022.
