SAN FRANCISCO – Armis, the asset intelligence cybersecurity company, today announced, The Anatomy of Cybersecurity: A Dissection of 2023’s Attack Landscape. The 2023 analysis of Armis’ proprietary data offers critical insight into the multifaceted challenges global organizations face when it comes to protecting the entire attack surface. Report findings serve as a blueprint to help security teams worldwide prioritize efforts to reduce cyber risk exposure in 2024.
The report found that global attack attempts more than doubled in 2023, increasing 104%. Utilities (over 200% increase) and Manufacturing (165% increase) were the most at risk industries. Attack attempts peaked in July, with communications devices, imaging devices and manufacturing devices experiencing intensified targeting during this period.
“Armis found that not only are attack attempts increasing, but cybersecurity blind spots and critical vulnerabilities are worsening, painting prime targets for malicious actors,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder, Armis. “It’s critical that security teams leverage similar intelligence defensively so that they know where to prioritize efforts and fill these gaps to mitigate risk. We hope that by sharing these insights, global businesses and governments will leverage them to immediately pinpoint what they should be focusing on to improve their cybersecurity posture this year to keep critical infrastructure, economies and society safe and secure.”
Key findings of The Anatomy of Cybersecurity: A Dissection of 2023’s Attack Landscape include:
Geopolitical tensions exacerbate the cybersecurity landscape
Legacy technology steepens incline of cybersecurity pros’ existing up-hill battle
Businesses struggle with effective vulnerability prioritization and remediation
“Blueprints like this report are invaluable as they help teams focus limited resources on efforts with the greatest impact and with the insights to tell data-driven stories in justification of cross-team priorities,” said Curtis Simpson, CISO, Armis. “Using hindsight and analyzed data could allow CISOs to focus 2024 efforts on segmenting legacy technology, prioritizing exposures of greatest significance, and utilizing AI-driven technologies that can assist security teams with defending and managing the attack surface in real-time.”
