Defenders must adapt to shrinking exploitation timelines
A new report from Mandiant reveals that the average time-to-exploit vulnerabilities before or after a patch is released has plunged to just five days in 2023, down from 32 days in 2021 in 2022. One reason for this is the fact that, in 2023, exploitat.....»»
Global temperature analysis reveals deep ocean marine heat waves are underreported
While marine heat waves (MHWs) have been studied at the sea surface for more than a decade, new research published today in Nature has found 80% of MHWs below 100 meters are independent of surface events, highlighting a previously overlooked aspect o.....»»
