Shrink exploit windows, slash MTTP: Why ring deployment is now a must for enterprise defense

Summary
The time it is taking businesses to detect cyberattacks has increased, from 36 to 43 days, according to the Ponemon Institute, despite the fact that patches are often available for known vulnerabilities.
This is due to the emergence of new attack methods leveraging old vulnerabilities, complacency, and misalignment of IT and security teams, according to Ivanti.
Automation of patch management can help, with Gartner commenting that it is the only way to “outpatch” attackers at scale.
Ivanti’s Neurons for Patch Management uses ring deployment and AI-driven patch prioritisation based on real-world risk to shrink attacker windows and breach risks.
Southstar Bank’s SVP and director of IT, Jesse Miller, said the dynamic Vulnerability Risk Rating recalibrated with real-time threat intelligence gives a more complete picture of which patches to deploy first.
