As we move towards our goal of digital transformation, in addition to the 2 million available apps, we write more than 111 billion lines of software code each year. The rate at which new applications, software, and websites are created is creating a huge increase in the number of security holes for attackers to exploit. Many of these vulnerabilities cannot be fixed or fixed immediately, which is the reason why we need virtual patching.\",\"name\":\"Why is virtual patching important? - CyStack Blog\",\"@id\":\"https://blog.cystack.org/blog/2022/06/11/what-is-virtual-patching-why-is-it-necessary-to-virtually-patch-vulnerabilities/#richSnippet\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https://blog.cystack.org/blog/2022/06/11/what-is-virtual-patching-why-is-it-necessary-to-virtually-patch-vulnerabilities/#webpage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https://s.cystack.net/resource/home/content/05141153/Virtual-Patching-1.png\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https://blog.cystack.org/blog/2022/06/11/what-is-virtual-patching-why-is-it-necessary-to-virtually-patch-vulnerabilities/#webpage\"}}]}</script>\n"}
