The internet’s attack surface moves at very different speeds
Censys' internet scans reveal rapid growth in publicly exposed artificial intelligence (AI) software, rising 63 percent from October 2025 to July 2026, while other attack surface categories like industrial control systems (ICS) and legacy business software show minimal change over comparable periods.
Why it matters: Organizations deploying AI tools and those scanning for external exposure need to assess whether this expansion reflects architectural decisions that increase risk, as attackers actively probe newly exposed systems for misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.
