The Laws of Vulnerabilities: 6 Axioms for Understanding Risk

Qualys

This paper describes The Laws of Vulnerabilities, which include six axioms about the behavior of vulnerabilities gleaned from a continuous long-term research project launched by Qualys in 2002. Qualys analyzed a global data pool of nearly 50 million IP scans to produce the most complete analysis of past, current, and future vulnerability trends. Data analysis resulted in The Laws of Vulnerabilities and is described in this paper. Insight from The Laws of Vulnerabilities helps security professionals worldwide systematically prevent exploits of IP-related vulnerabilities.
