There is now evidence that storage & backup systems have a significantly weaker security posture than the other two infrastructure layers (compute and network).

In the first of its kind, Continuity published a new research report that provides an analysis of the vulnerabilities and security misconfigurations of enterprise storage systems – from Dell EMC, IBM, Hitachi Data Systems, Cisco, Broadcom, NetApp, and others.

Highlights from the report:

• 6,300 discrete security issues detected
• An enterprise storage device has 15 vulnerabilities
• Out of 15 vulnerabilities, 3 are high or critical risk
• And many more…
