[EMEA] Three Days to Exploitation: Rapid7 Q3 2026 Threat Landscape Briefing

Among the high- and critical-severity vulnerabilities Rapid7 tracked as exploited in Q3 2026, the average time from public disclosure to exploitation was just three days. For 71%, exploitation occurred within the first week. If your patch cycle still runs monthly, attackers could be moving faster than your defenses.

Join Rapid7 Intelligence experts as they walk through the Q3 2026 Quarterly Threat Landscape Report, bringing together vulnerability research, ransomware leak-site data, underground forum monitoring, and what our incident responders are seeing on the front line.

They’ll cover what it means for defenders that 79% of the high- and critical-severity vulnerabilities tracked as exploited required no authentication or user interaction and were remotely exploitable. We’ll also look at shifting ransomware patterns, including the growing U.S. share of government-sector incidents among the top 10 countries tracked; what the underground market for network access reveals about how attackers get in; and where AI is (and isn’t) changing the attack chain.

You’ll walk away with a clearer view of the real threats and practical steps to prioritize urgent exposures, strengthen detection and response, and reduce the time attackers have to act.
