Survey: 94% of Incidents Involve Anonymized Infrastructure. Teams Are Still Reactive

The article summarizes a Spur Intelligence study and argues that widespread VPNs, residential proxies, and other anonymization tools are degrading the usefulness of traditional IP reputation and blocklist approaches; it recommends richer context (attribution, behavioral signals), earlier integration of IP intelligence into real-time decisioning (adaptive auth, risk-based controls), and automation to move from reactive investigation to intelligence-led prevention.
