Acunetix  prepared the report by doing the following:

• Taking data from Acunetix Online for scans performed between March 2019 and February 2020

• Focusing on High Severity and Medium Severity vulnerabilities

Our general observations are:

• The total number of web and network perimeter vulnerabilities is slightly less than last year
