2022 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses
The Homeland Security Systems Engineering and Development Institute, sponsored by CISA and operated by MITRE, has released the 2022 Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses list. The list uses data from the National Vulnerability Database to compile the most frequent and critical errors that can lead to serious vulnerabilities in software. An attacker can often exploit these vulnerabilities to take control of an affected system, obtain sensitive information, or cause a denial-of-service condition. This year’s list also incorporates updated weakness data for recent Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure records in the dataset that are part of CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog.
Cybersecurity is one of the most crucial concerns facing our society today. In our digital and connected world, cyber threats can ripple across the globe. A cyberattack can bring down a power grid, cripple major corporations, hold our private information hostage, spread disinformation, and more.
During this summit, you’ll learn why we need to plan now to secure the next wave of fast networks, how cybersecurity is evolving to meet future needs, and what Virginia researchers are doing to protect the way we live. You’ll come away better informed to make decisions impacting your organization, community, and family.
