Picture this: you hear there’s been a string of break-ins on your street. Would you leave your front door unlocked tonight?
Of course not. But that’s essentially what many businesses do when they delay fixing known vulnerabilities in their IT systems. Despite having clear warning signs, over two-thirds of organizations take more than 24 hours—sometimes much longer—to patch serious security flaws.
And every hour matters.
A vulnerability is any weakness in your tech environment—whether it’s outdated software, incorrect settings, or unpatched systems—that cyber criminals can exploit to gain access. Security tools can often detect these issues, but fixing them quickly is where many businesses fall behind.
Why the delay? It often comes down to overwhelmed IT teams, fragmented tools, and slow, manual processes. Instead of responding swiftly, businesses end up wasting valuable time gathering incomplete data, switching between platforms, and trying to prioritize what to fix first.
Meanwhile, the door stays open.
The risk? Data breaches, operational downtime, and damage to customer trust—all because a known issue went unresolved.
The good news: you don’t have to tackle this alone.
Working with a trusted IT support partner can turn this around. With smarter tools, automation, and real-time insights, we help businesses identify vulnerabilities faster, prioritize them based on risk, and patch them before attackers can make a move.
