Operational tech devices exposed to known vulnerabilities

Quick Summary:

Analysis of close to one million operational technology (OT) devices by Claroty's Team82 research group finds that 12 percent contain known exploited vulnerabilities (KEVs), and 40 percent of the organizations analyzed have a subset of these assets insecurely connected to the internet.

The report uncovered over 111,000 KEVs in OT devices across manufacturing, logistics and transportation, and natural resources organizations, with 68 percent of these being linked to ransomware groups.

The manufacturing industry was found to have the highest number of devices with confirmed KEVs (over 96,000).
