2022 Cortex Xpanse Attack Surface Threat Report

Get the latest Cortex Xpanse “Attack Surface Threat Report” to understand the risks, and learn how automation can help security teams stop chasing a moving post and reduce risks. The Cortex Xpanse research team studied the global attack surface by monitoring scans of 50 million IP addresses associated with 100+ global enterprises and discovered that the attack surfaces of all industries continue to grow. As security teams struggle to keep up, the constant stream of new issues becomes an ever-expanding backlog of exposure - misconfigured RDP, exposed admin portals, insecure Apache Web servers or Microsoft Exchange servers, and more.
