Five findings that reframe how leaders should think about network device risk
- Concern is high — and grounded. Most leaders aren’t just worried in the abstract. A clear majority have already lived through a network infrastructure incident or near-miss.
- Vendor trust is breaking. Leaning on the device vendor to handle security has reached its limit for most of the market. See exactly how far that shift has gone.
- The false-confidence gap. The leaders most sure of their visibility are still getting breached. The number behind this one surprises most people who read it.
- Where the market is moving. A large share are already evaluating dedicated solutions, and more are close behind. Plot yourself against them with the interactive tool.
- Industry breakdowns. Concern and exposure aren’t evenly distributed. See which sectors are most alarmed, most breached, and most exposed.
