Comment Some clarification on 'vulnerabilities' (Score 2, Informative) 71

Though it wasn't our intention, it seems the reference to the % of attacks exploiting vulnerabilities has caused some confusion. It's true that 'vulnerability' can have a very broad definition (synonym for 'weakness') but we are referring specifically here to specific named/numbered (has a CVE or MS #) software vulnerabilities. The bulk of attacks across our caseload did not exploit such vulnerabilities - they exploited misconfigurations, omissions, poor security, etc. Hope that helps clear things up a bit.
