State of XIot Security

After more than 20 years of connecting things to the internet, we’ve reached a critical mass where the food we eat, water we drink, elevators we ride, and the oil and gas that warms our homes rely on computer code. Today’s cyber-physical systems are directly linked to outcomes in the physical world, and despite the advances in technology that allow us to bring new efficiencies to these services, cybersecurity continues to lag.

That’s why we’ve revamped our biannual report to embrace an understanding of the vulnerabilities being disclosed and fixed within the Extended Internet of Things (XIoT), the umbrella term for connected cyberphysical devices within industrial (industrial control systems and operational technology), healthcare (connected medical devices), and commercial environments (building management systems and enterprise IoT).
