At 13 Attacks Per Second, Critical Infrastructure is Under Siege – Forescout Calls for Stronger Cybersecurity Measures for Critical Infrastructure in 2023 Global Threat Roundup.

SYDNEY, Australia – January 25, 2023 – In the last year, the world’s critical infrastructure – the medical, power, communications, waste, manufacturing, and transportation equipment that connects people and machines – has been under near-constant attack. Forescout Research – Vedere Labs recorded more than 420 million attacks between January and December 2023. That is 13 attacks per second, a 30% increase from 2022.

Forescout, a global cybersecurity leader, unveiled the global findings of recorded attacks in its Adversary Engagement Environment (AEE) in the new report, “2023 Global Threat Roundup.” The AEE is maintained by Vedere Labs, a leading global team dedicated to uncovering vulnerabilities in and threats to critical infrastructure.

Despite the formidable challenges posed by the ongoing surge in cyber-activity, there is an optimistic path forward. Elisa Costante, VP of Research at Forescout Research – Vedere Labs, highlights the potential for positive change, stating, “While it’s true that current efforts have fallen short in fully harnessing crucial technology to fortify critical assets and assess risks, there is an opportunity for improvement.”
