FRESH DATA: 59% of Corporate IoT Attacks Target Office Devices – RTInsights
Cybersecurity firm Trend Micro has released the results of a new IoT security poll that found 86% of the IT and security decision-makers surveyed believe their organization needs to improve their IoT threat awareness. The poll, which surveyed 1,150 IT and security leaders also found that cybersecurity maturity is lacking in many organizations even as they deploy various IoT projects. Only 14% said they had complete awareness of IoT threats throughout their organization.
The poll found that office devices (59%) are the most attacked, followed closely by the supply chain and manufacturing. Over 50% of respondents said they prioritize a few key capabilities in their security solutions to protect from such attacks. These included monitoring for suspicious behaviors and identifying and managing vulnerabilities. 37% said though that they aren’t always able to define their specific needs before implementing IoT solutions.
