Security Intelligence
💡 Credential Stuffing at Scale
Credential stuffing uses stolen username-password pairs from data breaches to attempt logins across many websites. Since users frequently reuse passwords, these automated attacks achieve success rates of 0.1-2%, which translates to thousands of compromised accounts from millions of attempts.
💡 Patch Management Urgency
The window between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation continues to shrink. Critical CVEs are now exploited within hours of publication. Automated patch management, virtual patching through WAFs, and rapid deployment pipelines are essential for timely remediation.
