NEW YORK and ORLANDO, Fla. , March 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Claroty, the cyber-physical systems (CPS) protection company, released today at the annual HIMSS24 conference a new report that uncovered concerning data about the security of medical devices connected to healthcare organization networks such as hospitals and clinics. The State of CPS Security Report: Healthcare 2023 discovered a staggering 63% of CISA-tracked Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEVs) on these networks, and that 23% of medical devices—including imaging devices, clinical IoT devices, and surgery devices—have at least one KEV.

Key Points: 
  • Vulnerabilities and implementation weaknesses frequently surface in Team82's research, and a direct line can be drawn to potentially negative patient outcomes in each of these cases.
  • "However, the increase in connectivity requires proper network architecture and an understanding of the exposure to attackers that it introduces.
  • Healthcare organizations and their security partners must develop policies and strategies that stress the need for resilient medical devices and systems that can withstand intrusions.
  • The State of CPS Security Report: Healthcare 2023 is a snapshot of healthcare cybersecurity trends, medical device vulnerabilities, and incidents observed and analyzed by Team82, Claroty's threat research team, and our data scientists.

75% of the Industrial Sector Experienced a Ransomware Attack in the Past Year, Claroty Study Finds

Wednesday, December 6, 2023

NEW YORK, Dec. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Claroty, the cyber-physical systems protection company, today released new research showing that 75% of respondents reported being targeted by ransomware in the past year. The report, "The Global State of Industrial Cybersecurity 2023: New Technologies, Persistent Threats, and Maturing Defenses," is based on a global independent survey of 1,100 information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) security professionals who work in critical infrastructure sectors, exploring industry challenges faced in the past year, their impact on OT security programs, and priorities moving forward.

Key Points: 
  • The study shows that, when it comes to ransomware attacks, the impact on OT environments is catching up to the impact on IT environments.
  • In Claroty's previous survey conducted in 2021, 32% of ransomware attacks impacted IT only, while 27% impacted both IT and OT.
  • Today, 21% impact IT only, while 37% impact both IT and OT – a significant 10% jump for the latter in just two years.
  • This trend speaks to the expanding attack surface area and risk of operational disruption that comes with IT/OT convergence.

Morphisec Fortifies Capabilities with Next-gen Risk-Based Vulnerability Prioritization for Exposure Management

Tuesday, November 28, 2023

BOSTON and BEER-SHEVA, Israel, Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Morphisec, the world's leading provider of prevention-first endpoint security software, today announced the launch of a risk-based vulnerability prioritization capability for exposure management.

Key Points: 
  • Morphisec's risk-based vulnerability prioritization capability prioritizes the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk, based on a unique risk profile.
  • Present vulnerability management practices are typically driven by the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) to identify high severity vulnerabilities for patch prioritization and mitigation efforts.
  • In this reality, CVSS driven vulnerability management programs insufficiently align mapped CVEs to the organization's actual risk.
  • Vulnerability exploitation is a leading cause of breaches — without a risk-based approach to vulnerability management organizations face greater risk of advanced attacks like ransomware."

Wednesday, July 26, 2023

NEW YORK, July 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Rezilion, an automated software supply chain security platform, today announced a new report, "CVSS, EPSS, KEV: The New Acronyms - And The Intelligence - You Need For Effective Vulnerability Management," detailing the critical importance of the Exploitability Probability Prediction Score (EPSS) for enhancing patch prioritization and effective vulnerability management.

Key Points: 
  • Earlier this year, Rezilion identified the glaring issue of millions of systems being exposed to Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEVs) despite available patches in a report on the CISA KEV catalog.
  • The new research report furthers Rezilion's 2023 KEV Research , demonstrating that knowing the KEV catalog is insufficient information for holistic vulnerability management because newly discovered vulnerabilities are not quickly added to the database.
  • Throughout the new research, Rezilion's vulnerability researchers unveiled more than 30 actively exploited vulnerabilities with a high EPSS score that were not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, highlighting the coverage gap within the CISA KEV catalog.
  • "Our research shows that the interplay of CVSS, CISA's KEV, and EPSS offers the most comprehensive approach to managing vulnerabilities.
