The CDR is the most geographically comprehensive, vendor-agnostic study of IT security decision makers and practitioners. Rather than compiling cyberthreat statistics and assessing the damage caused by data breaches, the CDR surveys the perceptions of IT security professionals, gaining insights into how they see the world.

This report advertises itself as a “vendor-agnostic” report. Now in its fifth year, this report has become a staple among IT security leaders and practitioners. They stick to the usual suspects in cyber threats, but also outline some new areas related to Cloud investment, app containers, reliance on mobile devices, and the continuing damage of ransomware.

This report hopes to help IT security decision makers gain a better understanding of how their perceptions, concerns, priorities, and defenses stack up against those of other IT security professionals and their organizations. Applied constructively, the data, analyses, and findings covered here can be used by diligent IT security teams to shape answers to many important questions.
