Forescout Releases 2023H1 Threat Review

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 13 September 2023: In a new threat briefing report, Forescout Vedere Labs looks back at the most relevant cybersecurity events and data between January 1 and July 31, 2023 (2023H1) to emphasize the evolution of the threat landscape. The activities and data Forescout saw during this period confirm trends it has been observing in its recent reports, including threats to unmanaged devices that are less often studied.

Overall, 2023H1 continued the trend of threat actors exploiting an increasingly diverse attack surface. Notably, Forescout saw more evidence of the type of “cross-device” attacks it first demonstrated with R4IoT and then observed with botnets such as Chaos.
