Survey: 94% of Incidents Involve Anonymized Infrastructure. Teams Are Still Reactive
Summary: A survey of more than 200 security practitioners by Spur Intelligence found that anonymizing infrastructure such as VPNs and residential proxy networks appears in 94% of security incidents. Nearly half of respondents cited a lack of context as the biggest challenge in analyzing IP activity, and a third said they do not measure their IP intelligence efforts at all.
Key Takeaway: Residential proxies route attacks through legitimate consumer ISPs with no prior malicious reputation, so the blocklists and reputation scores most teams rely on offer little signal. With 61% of respondents only moderately, slightly, or not at all concerned about residential proxies on employee devices, the anonymized path into the enterprise may already be open and unwatched.
