- [Instructor] By now you know
that there's no system or software
that is actually immune to vulnerabilities.
This is why patch management is so critical
to the quality of the overall security
for an organization, right?
Many attacks seen in the world,
leverage non vulnerabilities.
The worst part is that in many cases
there's actually a patch to actually fix that vulnerability
as well as things like IPS signatures
and mitigations available to prevent the vulnerability
for being exploited, right?
Now once the exploitation completes
something needs to be done
following the successful exploitation, right?
So adversaries don't need to exploit system
just to see if it can be done.
Typically, something is delivered
through the exploitation process, which lead us
to the next step in the kill chain process.
