The healthcare industry has significantly more exposed attack surfaces than any other industry surveyed, according to Censys's research findings of cloud risks and cloud maturity by industry, revealed at RSA Conference 2020.
The healthcare industry showed significantly more exposed databases and more exposed remote login services.
Healthcare providers, insurance providers and pharmaceutical manufacturers, the healthcare industry had an average of 13 exposed databases per company.
The energy industry proved the least at-risk with only one exposed database per company.
Internet exposed databases put customer data at risk and RDPs pose risks of credential stuffing, reuse of stolen credentials, and specific software exploits.
