Inferring Internet security posture by country through port scanning

Minimalist · Jun 20, 2018

I’m Tod Beardsley, Director of Research at Rapid7, and I’m here on Help Net today to talk about the National Exposure Index. We produce this once a year, and the 2018 version is a ripping yarn of exposure both globally and sliced up into national buckets. And we found this year that among the 187 countries and regions that we surveyed, USA is number one, and not not in a good way. The U.S. has quite a few exposed servers out on the Internet. The U.S. has far more reachable, pingable servers than anybody else. That’s about 42 million. And of those we look for things like exposed SMB services. SMB is what you used to do like Windows networking, it should never ever ever be on the Internet.

Minimalist- Just curious if you know that the above link was nothing but an advertisement from Rapid7 to buy their product?

No, I didn't notice it. Report on their site (linked in article) is accessible for free. To me it's just interesting statistical data.
