Cato Networks announced the results of its analysis of 263 billion enterprise network flows between April and June 2021.

Researchers showed a novel use of Houdini malware to promote the spoofing of a device.

The report also documents how Amazon Sidewalk and other consumer applications operate on many enterprise networks, undermining effective risk assessment.

"Cybersecurity risk assessment is based on visibility to threats as much as visibility to what is happening in the organization's network," says Etay Maor, senior director of security strategy at Cato Networks.

"With lines blurring between the home office and the corporate network - more devices and applications find their way to the organization's network but not necessarily to the organization's risk assessment."

Amazon Sidewalk, consumer applications undermine enterprise risk assessment.
