1 in 5 Data Center Assets Are Within Easy Reach of Attackers

Claroty analyzed 750,000 cyber-physical systems in large data center facilities and found that approximately one-fifth of those assets are easily accessible to attackers. The research highlights a significant security gap in infrastructure that underpins modern computing environments.

Why it matters: Data center operators and infrastructure teams need to understand and remediate exposure of physical systems, as compromised cyber-physical systems could lead to service disruption, data loss, or lateral movement into hosted workloads.
