IFF Assessment
FRIEND
This is good news for defenders as it means organizations can focus on patching known vulnerabilities rather than scrambling to address actively exploited zero-days.
Defender Context
While the absence of zero-days is a positive development, administrators must still prioritize the 137 vulnerabilities patched, especially the nine critical ones. Defenders should ensure prompt deployment of these patches to mitigate risks associated with these flaws.
