The State of Vulnerability Remediation in the Public Sector

In this research report, we concentrated on the public sector and found that it had the largest percentage of businesses with exposed vulnerabilities, at 61.6 percent, and a median remediation velocity of 309 days, when compared to other sectors. While the majority of public sector subsectors can eliminate 75% of vulnerabilities in just over a year and a half, it takes the Space Research and Technology sector 581 days to do so.

In order to provide unique insights and significant results about the public sector, SecurityScorecard collaborated with Cyentia Institute.
