Rapid7 has released research that examines the attack surface of the 200 largest publicly traded companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange; ASX 200. This research follows our 2021 Industry Cyber-Exposure Report (ICER) on the ASX 200 that considered one year’s worth of historical data from 2020 into 2021. While that report followed a defined methodology and was part of a cycle examining large public companies around the world (e.g. FTSE 350, Fortune 500), this research is a snapshot in time taken at the beginning of October 2022.
The research surveys a number of factors that provide a picture of what an “average” company in the ASX 200 looks like from the internet.
