Popular preconceptions of enterprise security and network usage are often inaccurate, according to Cato Networks.

Legacy security defenses fail as old exploits form most common threat.

"While organizations always need to keep up with the latest security patches, it is also vital to ensure older system and well-known vulnerabilities from years past are monitored and patched as well," says Etay Maor, senior director of security strategy at Cato Networks.

Application vulnerabilities expose many enterprise networks to attack.

Enterprise networks also continue to be populated by consumer applications, with the most popular being TikTok that had millions of more flows than Google Mail, LinkedIn, or Spotify.

"As the type of data flow and applications changes, so does the way in which threat actors exploit vulnerabilities, and in turn, the way enterprises secure their networks must change as well."
