Based on your experience, how vulnerable are global critical networks?
There are a lot of big industrial sites in the world and far more small sites. In my experience, many of the larger sites and some of the smaller ones are reasonably well defended against the simplest attacks, like common malware and stolen passwords. But the opposite is true as well – some of the big sites and a huge number of small ones are poorly defended.
