Research conducted by the Cyentia Institute shows that the timeline for patching vulnerabilities varies widely by industry and the complexity of an enterprise. The quickest, on average, patch vulnerabilities four to five times faster than the slowest. However, the velocity at which organisations remediate vulnerabilities doesn’t always correlate directly to their security posture.
