To assess lead agency actions, GAO first identified the six critical infrastructure sectors considered to have the greatest risk of cyber compromise. From these six, GAO then selected for review three sectors that had extensive use of IoT and OT devices and systems.
Abstract The rise of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has revolutionized the way critical infrastructures operate, leading to an era of unique connectivity and automation. However, this transformation introduces a concern about the security of these interconnected systems.
As we can see from the illustration, Exploiting Iot Devices In Critical Infrastructure has many fascinating aspects to explore.
IoT security threats in 2025 surge with botnets, CNI attacks, and AI exploits. Legacy systems and insecure devices fuel a growing global attack surface.
Cyberattacks surge against IoT, mobile devices in critical infrastructure Manufacturing and energy firms saw some of the biggest increases in malware activity targeting connected devices.
Governments worldwide are waking up to the threat posed to critical infrastructure and are taking action to address the security issues related to IoT devices, even down to the individual component level.
