Attacks against Linux operating systems and the applications that run on those systems are becoming as common as attacks on Windows systems.

In addition to being yet another vulnerable area to worry about, attacks on Linux systems are particularly concerning because Linux runs the back-end systems of many networks and container-based solutions for IoT devices and mission-critical applications.

As organizations add satellite networks to connect previously off-grid systems such as remote OT devices to their interconnected networks, it will increase the attack surface.

The convergence of information technology and operational technology networks has made it easier for attackers to access OT systems.

The increase in the number of people working remotely has led to an exponential expansion of new network edges, which has significantly expanded the attack surface and exposed corporate networks to many of the threats to residential networks.
