With the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack still making headlines and resulting in new government policy, a new report from application security provider WhiteHat Security Inc. finds that companies across multiple industries remain exposed to future attacks.
WhiteHat’s monthly Appsec Stats Flash report released today found that the Window of Exposure, a key metric indicative of breach exposure for applications, has increased from 55% to 67% in the utility sector since the start of the year. The figure makes applications in the utility sector the second most vulnerable to attacks behind public administration applications.
