2020 is shaping up to be a banner year for software vulnerabilities, leaving security professionals drowning in a veritable sea of patching, reporting and looming attacks, many of which they can't even see.

"Based on vulnerability data, the state of software security remains pretty dismal," Brian Martin, vice president of vulnerability intelligence with Risk Based Security, told Threatpost.

RBS said these three vulnerability Fujiwara events in 2020 put massive stress on security teams.

"New software is being released at a faster rate than old software is being deprecated or discontinued," Comparitech's Paul Bischoff told Threatpost.

"Desktop software code needs to be secured against a virus for rewriting the code. Online software has a strong dependency on the infrastructure that hosts, operates and distributes it."
