Legacy infrastructure and lack of visibility make network edge devices like VPNs and routers major security risks for businesses. Sophos statistics reveal that these devices contributed to nearly 30% of all cyber incidents last year, with VPNs primarily targeted. Neglected, end-of-life devices are particularly vulnerable, as they often rank low on firms' patching priorities. Experts warn that these devices serve as 'low-hanging fruit' for attackers aiming to infiltrate networks, underlining the need for enhanced security measures to protect against these threats.
