Unprotected edge devices such as firewalls or routers offer threat actors opportunities to access networks, intercept and mirror data, and recruit devices into botnets or other malicious infrastructure. Threat actors regularly scan for vulnerable devices. Regular patching and hardening management interfaces exposed to the internet are essential.

Unmonitored endpoints mean reduced visibility for you and potential entry points for threat actors into your networks. Bring Your Own Device programs may lead to an increase in unmonitored devices, unless device management is required.

Conducting regular IT asset audits provides both security and compliance benefits, helping you identify security gaps, apply patches in a timely fashion, and keep your defenses up to date. This includes hardware and software and even extends to understanding software dependencies – a vulnerability in a software library used by a system you use may mean a vulnerability in your system. Shadow IT introduces further security gaps and blind spots that need to be remedied.
