In this episode of Threat Vector, host David Moulton speaks with Asher Davila, Principal Security Researcher at Palo Alto Networks, about the newly released 2025 Device Security Enterprise Threat Report. This data-rich report reveals that over 21% of connected enterprise devices have known vulnerabilities, and nearly 40% of devices registered in Active Directory lack proper EDR/XDR coverage. Even more concerning, 32.5% of all network-connected assets are unmanaged, creating a massive blind spot for defenders. Asher breaks down why understanding both managed and unmanaged device exposure is essential to securing modern environments. From weak segmentation to credential-based threats and lifecycle risks, this conversation delivers critical insights for security leaders seeking to gain control of their expanding device landscape.
