The DarkHotel attack Inexsmar from 2016 has striking similarities to attacks from as early as 2011. Inexsmar is also focusing on political targets rather than the group’s normal choice of senior corporate officials, corporate research, and development personnel.

This study explores the pressures cloud migration place on 1,051 IT security professionals from large enterprises with 1,000+ PCs and data centers, based in the US, the UK, France, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany.

An October 2016 Bitdefender survey of 250 IT decision makers in the United States in companies with more than 1,000 PCs, shows they will rise in companies’ hierarchies, as CEOs and board members face increasing internal and external security risks that could ruin customer trust and business forecasts. Still, not all C-suites include CIOs/CISOs in the business decision-making process. This survey, carried out by iSense Solutions, shows how IT decision makers perceive their role inside the organizations and what they need to meet shareholder expectations. How has virtualization changed the security game? How many attacks can be stopped with the current resources? Would they pay to avoid public shaming?

“This report is based exclusively on information collected via a wide range of security services within GravityZone: Security for Virtualized Environments, Security for Endpoints, Security for Mobile and Security for Exchange, consumer-oriented products such as Bitdefender Antivirus, Bitdefender Internet Security or Bitdefender Total Security, as well as from Bitdefender BOX, the innovative solution for protecting devices in the IoT space.”

Virtualization is a strategic priority at large companies, and trust plays a crucial role in their choice of cloud service provider and in determining the type of data they store outside company infrastructure, according to a Bitdefender survey of 503 IT decision makers at companies in the US, the UK and Germany with more than 1,000 PCs. Hybrid infrastructures, a mix of public cloud services and privately owned data centers, have become the major architecture in the enterprise environment, and CIOs have to adapt to the new world. This survey, carried out by iSense Solutions, reveals why companies virtualize, which countries CIOs trust and what kind of data companies care most about.

This paper seeks to answer the following questions, “What motivates victims to pay up? How much do they value their data? What role does antivirus protection play in the problem-solving equation?"

From The Report, “Just as hyperconvergence in the data center will have a huge impact on how systems and data are managed, it will have significant repercussions for information security. Any organization that thinks security does not need to change in a hyperconverged environment puts data and systems reliability at risk.”
