Network Edge Devices the Biggest Entry Point for Attacks on SMBs

Compromised network edge devices accounted for initial compromise in 30% of incidents impacting small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in 2024.

These devices, which include VPN appliances, firewalls and other remote access appliances, collectively made up the largest single source of initial compromise of networks in intrusions tracked by Sophos Managed Detection and Response (MDR).

VPN exploitation alone was the most frequent compromise point across all cases, at 19%.
