"IoT Vulnerability Disclosures Up 57% in Six Months, Claroty Reveals"

Security researchers at Claroty have discovered that the number of vulnerability disclosures impacting extended internet of things (XIoT) devices increased by 57% in the first half of 2022 compared to the previous six months.  The researchers also found that vendor self-disclosures increased by 69%.  According to the researchers, the trend indicates that more operational technology (OT), IoT, and internet of medical things (IoMT) vendors are establishing vulnerability disclosure programs and dedicating more resources to them.  Additionally, fully or partially remediated firmware vulnerabilities increased by 79% over the same time period, a significant improvement considering the relative challenges in patching firmware versus software vulnerabilities.
