At Fidelis Cybersecurity®, our Threat Research team provides coverage and vigilance on the most menacing vulnerabilities through continuous monitoring of the current threat landscape. The third quarter of 2021 introduced 5438 new vulnerabilities, out of which, a staggering 907 vulnerabilities ranked with a CVSS score of high or critical. While the CVSS scoring mechanism holds value, our Threat Research team also applies expert analysis to identify the most critical issues.
Our Real-Time Vulnerability Alerting Engine cuts through the noise by harnessing public data and applying proprietary data analytics to get real-time alerts for highly seismic vulnerability exposures and misconfigurations—making vulnerability fatigue a thing of the past. Since its first launch at BSidesSF, we have continually improved our real-time vulnerability alerting engine, allowing us to provide this quarterly vulnerability and trends report to keep you ahead of the most pressing threats. Here is the most recent vulnerability report, including the top CVE list for the third quarter of 2021.

In Figure 1, the X-axis represents each day of the year from 1 Jan to 30 September 2021. The Y-axis represents the vulnerability trending quotient calculated by the engine (see the BSides presentation for more info). This quotient is calculated every day for each CVE. For simplicity, the Y-axis is divided into four colors—Red, Orange, Yellow, and Green—which represent the criticality of each vulnerability. Each blue dot represents a vulnerability. It’s possible for the same vulnerability to appear on multiple days, especially those with a high X-axis value. The third quarter vulnerabilities are highlighted by the light blue ..
