“Transforming xIoT Cybersecurity” with Phosphorus, Interview and Discussion featuring
CMO, John Vecchi

The explosive growth of connected devices, both IoT and xIoT (Extended Internet of Things),
across various industries has opened up new realms of possibility while posing substantial
security risks. It has created a vast and largely uncharted attack surface that adversaries are
actively capitalizing on. In an article by former Phosphorus CSO, Brain Contos, he writes that
xIoT devices are an ideal hiding place for sophisticated adversaries, stating that, “these devices
are poorly monitored, lack anti-malware and intrusion detection coverage, and are not easy to
analyze during incident response.” In my recent conversation with Phosphorus CMO, John
Vecchi, we explored their pioneering efforts in reshaping xIoT cybersecurity, with a particular
focus on healthcare, where the stakes are undeniably high.

Vecchi emphasized the universal nature of xIoT vulnerabilities, citing a striking statistic:
approximately 90% of xIoT devices, regardless of industry, still operate with default credentials.
This alarming fact underscores the urgency of addressing vulnerabilities across sectors.
