How to read public cyber tempo
Tempo rises when credible public sources show active exploitation, broad vulnerable exposure, major service disruption, or urgent mitigations. The key is evidence quality, affected technology, and whether fixes or workarounds exist.
Separate vulnerability severity from exposure. A critical flaw matters most when it applies to systems you use and is being exploited or likely to be exploited.
