By now, we all know that no matter the precautions, there will always be a way in, a way you haven’t thought of, a way to breach and control your connected … everything. To highlight these every changing vulnerabilities, whether minor or major, and promote overall secure IoT environments, the Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) organized a Pwn2Own competition in Toronto, to dive deeper into the machines we employ everyday and show how vulnerable we are when everything is connected. ZDI informed the participating teams that they will need to take their shared knowledge and apply it to printers, network-attached storage (NAS) devices, routers, and smart speakers.

Modern power distribution units (PDUs) – devices that are commonly used to deliver power to server racks – can be managed remotely. While convenient and often efficient, these power delivery systems also represent an attack vector for bad actors looking to infiltrate networks, data centers, and anything connected to them.

New York. Claroty’s Team82 released findings that showed a 14% decline of cyber-physical system vulnerabilities disclosed in 2H of 2021 to 2H 2022, in its State of XIoT Security Report: 2H 2022. However, the research team did find an increase of 80% more vulnerabilities found by product security teams over the same time. Claroty describes their disclosure having an optimistic effect on the security of the Extended Internet of Things (XIoT) in environments across a vast array of industry applications such as, industrial, healthcare, and commercial.
