More IT vulnerability disclosures

Record numbers of firms admitted vulnerability in their software over the first half of 2010, according to a new report.

IBM's X-Force security team discovered that there were more than 4,000 (4,396) disclosed software weaknesses for the period between January and the end of June – up 35 per cent on the same time last year.

However, X-Force manager Tom Cross notes that "throughout the software industry people have got the message about computer security and are doing more to identify vulnerabilities and as a consequence we are seeing more."

Worryingly though, more than half of the issues still have had no patch released to rectify them.

Google has been the worst offender, with a third of their important flaws still unpatched.

Marcus Evans presents IT and telecoms events, created by experienced professionals and with information presented by industry experts.
