Although systemadministrators the past year always faster are go patchen, is almost 70 per cent of all systems yet always vulnerable for attacks through viruses and hackers. Hackers know to lay namely always more fast the hand on exploits, with which abuses can become leak.

This appeared from an investigation of protections business Qualys, that the figures announced during a conference in Washington of the Computer Security Institute.

On average its systemadministrators in 2005 two summon faster than formerly with the patchen of leaks in systems that immediately on the internet have been connected. In 19 days is the half of all important leaks poem. Last year was that yet 21 days; two year count but gladly 30 days.

There is thus improvement visible, but it is not yet source enough, according to Gerhard Eschelbeck, senior official of Qualys: “Eighty per cent of all exploits appeared within that nineteen days.”

For it closing of leak in internal systems, that conceals exam periods behind firewalls or other protections products, take systemadministrators signaling more time. After 48 days is the half of these leak poem. Last year was that yet 62 days.

According to Eschelbeck can commit the protections improve through more carefully to fix which patches priorities must have.,. “Ninety per cent of the attacks has been directed on only ten per cent of all protections leak.”

Eschelbeck guesses became to make businesses about that at use of the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), that before this year introduced.
