Forescout finds network convergence across IT, OT, IoT and IoMT could increase lateral movement and cyberattack impact

It reported that 62% of the analyzed network segments contained devices from a single category, while 29% contained devices from two categories and 9% contained devices from three or more categories.

The research revealed that 50% of IoMT network segments contained IoMT, IT and IoT devices, while 23% contained IoMT, IT, IoT and OT devices.

Another 15% of IoMT segments contained IoMT and OT devices, while 6% contained only IoMT devices.

Among OT network segments, 42% contained OT, IT and IoT devices, while 23% contained OT, IT, IoT and IoMT devices, according to the analysis.

A further 12% of OT segments contained only OT devices, while 11% contained OT and IT devices and 10% contained OT and IoT devices.
