A Blindspot in Cyber Defense: How Resurgent Vulnerabilities Jeopardize Organizational Security

Summary

The Strategic Risk of Resurgent Cyber Vulnerabilities

Attackers from every corner of the internet are exploiting a uniquely dangerous class of cyber flaws: resurgent vulnerabilities. 

These aren’t being exploited as zero-days — and spikes in activity rarely make headlines. They’re older flaws that quietly return to relevance as attacker interest reignites. Some were deprioritized years ago. Others were never seen as serious. But today, they’re being opportunistically exploited at scale, often in edge technologies like firewalls, routers, and VPNs — the very internet-facing assets attackers use for initial access and persistence.

Sneak Peek: Visualizations from The Report

In the Full Report, You’ll Learn How to:

  • Improve Patching & Blocking Strategies — Prioritize and dynamically block threats based on behavioral patterns, not just severity. 
  • Spot Strategic Blind Spots — Identify vulnerabilities attackers are quietly returning to. 
  • Protect Critical Systems & Data — Understand how old flaws are powering new campaigns. 
  • Inform Policy — Strengthen your nation's defenses against these unorthodox cyber threats.
