Most cyberattacks against critical infrastructure exploit vulnerabilities with a known patch. So why aren't more organizations patching faster? The bottleneck isn't technology, it's process. Our latest blog compiles the audience's top questions from our recent webinar with CS2AI Global - Control System Cyber Security Association International “Bridging Patch Management & Vulnerability Strategies for NERC CIP”. It's an honest look at the challenges organizations are grappling with: - Aligning asset inventories with compliance requirements - Managing legacy systems - Prioritizing vulnerabilities effectively The data confirms the problem: "70% of IT teams spend over 6 hours per week on security patching, yet only 23% are satisfied with their ability to fix vulnerabilities." That requires significant effort with minimal impact, which is precisely the topic we explore in the blog. The most valuable insights came from questions that challenged the status quo: 🔍 How do we prioritize vulnerabilities when the CVE database falls short? 🔍 What are the real-world strategies for legacy systems with no vendor support? 🔍 How do we bridge the gap between IT and OT to ensure a consistent security? 👉 Read the full Q&A to get the core insights from our experts: https://lnkd.in/eFFiUx7S

The stat in this post hits hard: 70% of IT teams spend over six hours a week on patching, yet only 23% feel good about the results. That's a huge effort for minimal impact! Foxguard’s Q&A digs into the reasons behind that disconnect and makes a critical point: if we’re patching just to check a box, we’re missing the bigger picture. The real value here is the mindset shift, moving from being compliant to being secure and how that often means challenging the status quo, especially when it comes to bridging the gap between IT and OT. The Q&A tackles the practical realities too: incomplete asset inventories, what to do when the CVE database falls short, managing risk when a system simply can’t be patched, and the challenge of prioritising when everything feels critical. This Q&A is one of the more honest takes I’ve seen on the challenges we’re all facing.
