It’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and that’s a good thing, because never has cybersecurity awareness been more critical. Ransomware increased 13% year over year from 2021 to 2022, which was more than the past five years combined. But ransomware isn’t the only threat that’s bearing down on the enterprise – phishing attacks rose 61% this year, and there are 560,000 incidents of malware detected every year.
What’s causing the steep increase in all kinds of cyber attacks? Configuration mistakes and poor cyber hygiene are common culprits, along with cloud and mobile device vulnerabilities and poor data management. The technology estate is expanding faster than ever to keep pace with trends like digital transformation, mobility, the hybrid workforce and bring your own device (BYOD), and, simply put, organizations are finding it hard to keep up. Between remote workers introducing unprotected personal devices and IoT into corporate networks, and the adoption of unsanctioned applications and services – so-called Shadow IT – it’s nearly impossible to know what devices are connected to a network at any given time, especially using manual methods to create an inventory.
Here are a few high-profile attacks that illustrate the dangers:
As a result of increasing cybersecurity attacks, organizations are sinking funds into cybersecurity products that provide visibility and insights across the expanding technology estate. That’s because the first step to protecting technology assets is knowing what assets you have, who’s using them, where they’re located, and whether they have any existing vulnerabilities that could open the door for cybercriminals.
A cornerstone of a robust cybersecurity product is data – and Lansweeper provides accurate device information that enables you to better protect your customers from increasing cybersecurity threats such as ransomware. An essential building block for a rock-solid security offering, Lansweeper can be easily embedded into any EDR to XDR, NDR, SIEM or ZTNA system, enabling you to strengthen cybersecurity offerings to your customers.
With our Device Recognition API and SDK, Lansweeper enhances your product by quickly and accurately identifying all network-connected devices. The solution analyzes network protocols to recognize all wireless and wired devices in a customer’s home, office or enterprise network, providing granular information such as make, model and operating system.
Our Device Catalog further enriches information about all identified devices with detailed product metadata, including end-of-life, end-of-service-life, warranty and other information, along with references to documentation and support and available smart-home integrations.
