1 of 2 networks experience attack or suspicious network traffic behavior

IoT devices have been making headlines for many years now, as their usage has grown quickly in many verticals, including industrial, municipal and consumer. More than 1 billion IoT attacks took place in 2021, nearly 900 million of which were IoT-related phishing attacks.

SAM’s research team has developed an overview of IoT security developments and discoveries that took place during 2021. As the leading provider of cloud-native security and intelligence services for unmanaged networks and connected devices, SAM protects upwards of 370 million connected devices globally. This report’s findings are based on in-depth research, security sources, and data collected from 132 million active IoT devices and 730,000 networks. We’ve analyzed DoS, DDoS, brute force attacks, DPI signature-based attacks, phishing attacks and more.

You’ll find descriptions of the potential impact and severity of various attacks and vulnerabilities, as well as recommendations for how to manage them.
