Picture this. You hear a news report that burglars are targeting homes in your area. Would you still leave your front door unlocked tonight?
Probably not.
But that is exactly what many businesses do when they delay fixing known vulnerabilities in their systems. And it is more common than you think. Over two thirds of businesses take more than 24 hours to respond to critical security issues.
The longer a vulnerability stays open, the higher the chance of a cyber attack, data breach, or business disruption.
A vulnerability is any weakness in your IT setup that cyber criminals could exploit. This includes:
Outdated software
Poorly configured settings
Missed security patches
These issues are often flagged by security tools. But the real challenge is fixing them quickly enough.
Even with internal IT teams in place, many businesses fall behind due to:
Manual processes
Disconnected tools
Incomplete or unclear data
This slows down response times, increases costs, and leaves your systems exposed longer than necessary.
Every hour a vulnerability goes unaddressed is an opportunity for attackers.
The good news is there is a smarter way.
Partnering with an expert IT support provider allows your business to:
Detect vulnerabilities faster
Automate response and patching
Prioritise what matters most
Secure your systems before attackers can act
