The most persistent vulnerabilities are: Client-side vulnerabilities.

"The more operating systems and product versions a vulnerability affects, the harder it is to fix, leading to persistence. A larger list of CPEs would also reflect a bigger volume of assets in many cases and consequently a higher difficulty to remediate comprehensively by just sheer volume," Aouad told Help Net Security.

Whether for the lack of resources, effective remediation processes, or simply the staggering amount of newly disclosed vulnerabilities, most organizations cannot keep up with the flow of vulnerabilities they assess in their environment.

Finding the right approach to vulnerability remediation prioritization.

Effective vulnerability remediation prioritization is important, but using vulnerabilities' CVSS scores as the basis for making decisions is not a good choice, as it does not reflect the risk a vulnerability poses to the organization.
