THE DEVICE LANDSCAPE
Know your device landscape — every asset, every vulnerability, every connection.
We studied more than 27 million devices for this analysis. Adversaries thrive on gaps in knowledge:
Blind spots in asset inventories
Unknown risks
Deprecated protocols
Unmanaged applications
Overlooked dependencies

ENDPOINT COVERAGE GAPS
There are significant gaps in endpoint coverage.
Coverage gaps leave enterprises exposed, creating opportunities for adversaries to exploit weaknesses in security posture and magnify risk across the entire network.

DEVICE VULNERABILITIES
Some device types are more exposed than others.
Before diving into the rankings, it’s important to note that devices differ not just in function but also in how exposed they are to attackers. Systems that are always-on, widely connected, or critical to business operations can become high‑value targets.
The most vulnerable device types include, in order: video conferencing and video streaming devices, network equipment, PCs, and IT servers.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
From exposure to action.
To move from understanding the risks to actively mitigating them, organizations need a clear set of priorities. The following pillars summarize the essential actions every enterprise should consider.
Proactive Security Essential
Threats evolve, requiring a proactive security program.
Deep Visibility is Key
Go beyond device counts to understand attributes, vulnerabilities, and interactions.
Blind spots in asset inventories
Connect exposures to adversary behavior and disrupt entire attack paths.
Contextualized Action
Know what assets do, how they're connected, their vulnerabilities, and business importance.
Ecosystem Management Vital for Proactive Stance
Every element in the network can impact overall security; to be proactive you must understand the dynamics of all elements in the landscape.
