“Our research reveals alarming gaps and unexpected trends in enterprise infrastructure, including the decay of network segmentation, persistent challenges in attack surface management, and the increasing volume of dark matter on modern networks,” said HD Moore, CEO.
IT and OT are converging, expanding the attack surface of organizations and requiring new techniques to discover and manage assets. OT systems are high-value targets for attackers and are consistently exposed to untrusted networks. Over 7% of the ICS assets sampled are exposed to the public internet. These assets include programmable logic controllers, power meters, and protocol gateways, all of which play an important role in critical infrastructure.
