Researchers have identified a pattern where spikes in malicious activity often precede the disclosure of new security vulnerabilities within six weeks. These findings highlight the importance of monitoring attack patterns to enable proactive defense strategies. #GreyNoise #CVE #EdgeNetworkingDevices
Keypoints
- Approximately 80% of malicious activity spikes occur before new CVEs are publicly disclosed.
- GreyNoise’s data reveals strong patterns linking attack spikes to specific vendors like Ivanti, SonicWall, Palo Alto Networks, and Fortinet.
- Attackers often exploit known flaws to discover new vulnerabilities or internet-exposed endpoints for future exploits.
- Monitoring and blocking suspicious scanning activity can help defenders prepare for potential attacks.
- Google’s Project Zero plans to disclose vulnerabilities within one week, aiding proactive defense efforts.
