Security News > 2020 > October > Most enterprises struggle with IoT security incidents

According to new data released by Cybersecurity Insiders, 72% of organizations experienced an increase in endpoint and IoT security incidents in the last year, while 56% anticipate their organization will likely be compromised due to an endpoint or IoT-originated attack with the next 12 months.

The research found that 41% will implement or advance on-premise device security enforcement, 35% will advance their remote access devices posture checking, and 22% will advance their IoT device identification and monitoring capabilities.

"Not only do organizations need to ensure endpoints are secure and adhering to usage policy, but they must also manage appropriate IoT device access. New zero trust security controls can fortify dynamic device discovery, verification, tracking, remediation, and access enforcement."

Additional key findings Respondents rated the biggest endpoint and IoT security challenges as #1 insufficient protection against the latest threats, #2 high complexity of deployment and operations, and #3 inability to enforce endpoint and IoT device access/usage policy.

Respondents rated the most critical capabilities required to mitigate endpoint and IoT security as #1 monitoring endpoint or IoT devices for malicious or anomalous activity, #2 blocking or isolating unknown or at-risk endpoint and IoT devices' network access, and #3 blocking at-risk devices' access to network or cloud resources.
