The purpose of our research is to raise awareness of the CISA KEV catalog and understand how many of these vulnerabilities are under active exploitation so that organizations can take action against their risk. In our research, we relied on the CISA KEV catalog, a notable source of information regarding vulnerabilities actively exploited in the wild. We analyzed the common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) using GreyNoise and other resources and found the attack surface in the past and present.

From the report, “Robotic telepresence is a next-generation technology that allows a person in one location to replicate himself in another. The remote person can see you, hear you, interact with you, and move all around your location. But wait a second! What if the person behind the robot is not who you think he is? What if the robot gets compromised, and now the attacker is watching you and your surroundings? In this whitepaper, all the findings learned while security testing a telepresence robot are presented, as well as the countermeasures implemented by the vendor.”

Here at Cobalt, we’ve done over 350 penetration tests to date. The information included in this report (Time to Fix, Vulnerability Types, Findings Criticality, Issues Fixed) is summary data from all of the penetration tests performed in 2017. Additionally, we provide survey data (Portfolio Coverage, Pen Test Frequency) from 75 respondents in security, management, operations, DevOps, product, and developer roles. All data has been anonymized to protect the privacy of our contributors.
