Over 28,000 CVE records were published in 2023; a figure that is expected to increase as attackers shorten the time from known vulnerability to exploit, reducing it from weeks to days.

This partnership enables a complete continuous threat exposure management program, addressing the full spectrum of cyber risk management.

Benjamin Harris, CEO, watchTowr, said, “While the number of reported vulnerabilities continues to rise, the vulnerabilities that matter – in mission-critical, key systems – have exploded at an alarming rate. This reality, combined with the significant shift in speed by attackers to weaponize vulnerabilities – the ability to validate exploitability and prioritise actions based on real business risk has never been more vital. We’re excited to join forces with JupiterOne to give security teams around the globe this much-needed end-to-end capability.”
