Unpatched vulnerabilities. The open door.
Every connected system carries vulnerabilities. The question is not whether they will be found, but whether you patch before somebody exploits them.

Every connected system has weaknesses
Four classes of weakness, each with a different window between discovery and exploitation.
Zero-Day Exploits
Time to exploit: < 24 hours
Unknown vulnerabilities discovered and exploited before vendors can issue patches. Organisations are defenceless until a fix is released.
Example: MOVEit (2023) - Zero-day in file transfer software exposed 77M+ people
Known Vulnerabilities
Time to exploit: 15 days average
Patches exist but are not applied. The average time to exploit a known vulnerability is just 15 days, faster than most patch cycles.
Example: Log4Shell - Critical vulnerability, many systems still unpatched a year later
Misconfigurations
Time to exploit: Immediate
Open ports, default credentials, exposed admin panels. These are not bugs. They are setup mistakes that create easy entry points.
Example: Microsoft Power Apps - 38M records exposed via misconfigured portals
Legacy Systems
Time to exploit: Permanent risk
End-of-life software receiving no security updates. Many critical systems run on Windows 7, XP, or even older platforms.
Example: WannaCry - Exploited Windows XP systems still running in NHS hospitals
