Oracle Java JRE 1.8.x / 8.x (45% unpatched, 43% market share, 39 vulnerabilities). (56% unpatched, 46% market share, 29 vulnerabilities) You might be wondering what those non-Microsoft programs are. On top of that, 7.5% had unpatched Windows operating systems in Q4 2016, a jump from 6.1% in Q3.ġ3.3% are running unpatched non-Microsoft programs in Q4, a slight drop from 13.4% in Q3. “Software Vulnerability Management is an effective strategy for minimising the attack surface by enabling people and organisations to identify known vulnerabilities on their devices, prioritise those risks based on the criticality of the vulnerabilities, and mitigate those risks via automated patch management systems,” comments Kasper Lindgaard, director of Secunia Research at Flexera Software. 
It also means attackers can easily take advantage of security holes in those programs because they are so widespread. The average private user has 77 programs on their PC and 7.1% of those are at the end of their life (EOL), meaning they are no longer patched by the vendor, and users have to master 27 different update mechanisms to remediate vulnerabilities. Australians may be exposing themselves to danger every day without realising it - purely because of the programs on their computer, a new study from Secunia Research at Flexera Software has found.
