The World Teleport Association (WTA) will soon be releasing the organization’s newest research report, Cyberthreats in Your Own Backyard, in September—this report will be free for WTA Members and available for purchase by others.
About the Report
Teleport executives report a rising wave of questions from customers and prospective customers about the cybersecurity vulnerability of technology they have been using for years. Embedded hardware systems with firmware that hasn’t been updated in years. Network management systems running operating systems that are no longer supported by their suppliers. “Tried and true” systems that don’t touch the internetexcept that everything touches the internet today unless you invest in serious air-gapping.
In this report, WTA interviews technology and service providers about the threats lurking on the racks, in control rooms and machines rooms of the average teleport, and what steps teleports should take to improve their risk profile, including speeding adoption of virtualized systems that can be monitored and protected in real time daily.
