In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, cybercriminals have become more sophisticated than ever, making it crucial to stay abreast of the latest trends and tactics. The challenge is exacerbated by the expanding attack surface as more devices and device types connect to enterprise networks: IT, OT, IoT and IoMT devices, all with known vulnerabilities that can be exploited. Managing this growing attack surface requires adopting measures like passive asset discovery, risk-based vulnerability prioritization and zero trust network segmentation, to name a few.

Organizations need to start thinking differently about how they approach network security to combat emerging threats. Unmanaged assets are hiding in the blind spots of the attack surface and are being targeted by attackers because they know that you can’t secure what you can’t see.
