The Q3 report shows an 11% rise in total vulnerabilities, with August emerging as the most volatile month, registering 540 critical exposures.

SecPod’s Unified Security Intelligence (USI) strengthened visibility across the expanding attack surface, covering 5,962 CVEs, 34 zero-days, and 115 CISA KEVs, ensuring alignment with real-world exploitation trends.

USI also delivered deeper operational intelligence with insights into 751 misconfigurations, 970 CRE-mapped remediations, and 851 patches, enabling measurable reduction in enterprise risk.

Cloud security intelligence continued its rapid growth, with monitoring expanded to 164 AWS and 80 Azure resource types alongside major increases across CSPM, CSPA, and CSRM rules.

The report highlights the need to shift toward continuous vulnerability and exposure management (CVEM), to reinforce the need for continuous detection, prioritization, and remediation to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.
