Increasingly dynamic cloud environments are presenting visibility challenges for security. Indeed, the majority of organizations claim that lack of access to physical networks, the dynamic nature of cloud-native applications, and elastic cloud infrastructure create blind spots, making security monitoring challenging. SOC teams need to address this cloud visibility gap by collecting, processing, monitoring, and acting upon information from an assortment of cloud security telemetry sources.

This is the second annual survey of organizations who suffered cyberattacks with a key focus to compare the viewpoints of four different roles that are involved in cyber-preparedness and/ or mitigation: Security professionals, CISO or other IT executives, IT Operations generalists and backup administrators.

Our new report examines how the interplay of all these factors will result in increased attacker opportunity. Indeed, as adversaries embrace artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance and scale their identity based attacks, security teams are being asked to do more with less as budget cuts widen existing skills and resource gaps.

In this report, Halcyon demonstrates a unique method for identifying C2P entities that can potentially be used to forecast the precursors of ransomware campaigns and other attacks significantly “left of boom.” The ransomware economy is supported by a number of illicit groups that each provide one small piece of the puzzle that is cybercrime. From initial access brokers (IABs) to crypto money launderers, the criminal ecosystem that has sprung up around ransomware is vast.

Adaptive Shield commissioned CSA to develop a survey and report to better understand the industry’s knowledge, attitudes, and opinions regarding SaaS application use, SaaS security policies and processes, SaaS threats, and SaaS security strategy/solutions. Adaptive Shield financed the project and co-developed the questionnaire with CSA research analysts. The survey was conducted online by CSA in March of 2023 and received 1130 responses from IT and security professionals from organizations of various sizes and locations. CSA’s research analysts performed the data analysis and interpretation for this report.

The Financial Services Industry (FSI) adoption of cloud services has grown extensively in recent years and is expected to increase with further adoption and integration of cloud service provider (CSP) functions replacing traditional technology of banking, commerce, and other methods of performing financial transactions and exchanging financial data. The intention of this report was to evaluate the current state of adoption, compared to the industry’s readiness just three years ago when CSA conducted a similar survey and identify the current issues and opportunities that FSI leaders are addressing in their progression to further utilizing cloud services.

This report, our third in an annual series, draws upon a comprehensive survey of corporate digital forensics & incident response (DFIR) professionals in North America (NA) and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), and aims to provide intelligence—with analysis, interpretation, and insights, rather than just data— tailored to the needs of enterprise decision-makers, particularly those involved with IT, cybersecurity, and governance.

ESG conducted an in-depth survey of 255 cybersecurity and IT/information security professionals familiar with their organization’s network security tools and processes and responsible for evaluating, purchasing, and/or operating corporate network security controls across public cloud infrastructure and on-premises data centers/private cloud. Survey participants represented mid-market (500 to 999 employees) and enterprise-class (1,000 employees or more) organizations in North America (United States and Canada).

The report provides an overview of the current supply chain cybersecurity practices followed by essential and important entities in the EU, based on the results of a 2022 ENISA study which focused on investments of cybersecurity budgets among organizations in the EU. The report also gathers good practices on supply chain cybersecurity derived from European and international standards. It focuses primarily on the supply chains of ICT or OT.

In this eBook, we will discuss the challenges of securing today’s rail networks in the face of increasingly frequent and severe cyber threats, the impact of intensifying regulatory requirements and the potential damage that malicious actors could leave behind. Finally, we will explore the most critical things to look for in a security solution for rail transportation networks.

In the 2023 State of Cyber Assets Report (SCAR), we analyzed over 291 million cyber assets and attributes across organizations of all sizes. These findings will help you to understand how security teams discover cyber assets, understand asset relationships, and secure their attack surfaces.

In this edition, we again focus on concentration of malicious activity by the same six categories we studied in the last edition in the Fall of 2021. We expect that some criteria will remain relevant over the foreseeable future; that is, as datapoints related to domain names, there are unlikely to become less forensically-valuable unless that internets fundamental structure changes. Other datapoints may wax and wane in relevance.

This research was conducted to understand the challenges and issues facing businesses in the United States (U.S.) when it comes to escalating cyberattacks. It identifies trends in hacking and malicious attacks, and the financial and repetitional impact breaches had in what has been an unprecedented year. It examines U.S. organizations’ plans for securing new technology, adopting a cloud-first security strategy, and dealing with the complexity of the current cybersecurity management environment.

This report is based on our research and experience from the past year in securing enterprise cloud environments. We chose to focus on novel, notable, and high-impact risks that we believe you should be familiar with and include in your cloud security strategy for 2022.

The Fast and the Frivolous uses a massive dataset from SecurityScorecard that spans 1.6 million organizations. We analyze billions of internet-exposed assets to measure the speed of vulnerability remediation over a three-year period. In this report, you’ll find some of the lessons we learned.

In this risk surface series, RiskRecon, a Mastercard Company, and Cyentia have worked to help third-party risk managers understand how to measure and manage risk. We’ve seen variation across industries and other slices. But not all firms are interchangeable. A payroll processor cannot be replaced with a janitorial supply company, at least not with good business outcomes! In this report, we look at what distinguishes top-performing firms from those that struggle the most. Armed with this knowledge, Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) professionals can take into account the totality of their risk surface, and how it impacts the overall security performance of an organization

In this third volume of the Security Outcomes Report, we break security resilience down into digestible and actionable insights. (Because we’re sure you have enough on your plate without having to crack the code to resilience on your own.) No one report can cover all there is to know about such a colossal subject matter; but we’ve surfaced some highlights for you to consider when building and refining your cybersecurity strategy for the road ahead.

It’s a horror story that many organizations are familiar with - an employee clicks a link or visits a website, and chaos ensues. At best, it’s just a minor disruption. At worst, business continuity is broken, and an organization’s critical infrastructure is at risk. Regardless of the outcome, managing human risk is a major part of business today. In this report, we dive into what makes workers high risk, where those high risk users spend their time, what are their riskiest behaviors, and what that might mean for your organization’s security.

Our State of Cloud Threat Detection and Response report summaries the survey responses of 400 security leaders and SecOps practitioners in North America regarding the capabilities, practices, and behaviors of protecting against, identifying, and remediating cloud-based threats. The report looks at the differences between cloud threats detection and response behaviors and their on-premises counterparts, and the connection between cloud transformation and security transformation. We conclude with guidance on how to incorporate these lessons into your company’s current operations and considerations for the future.

In this report, we analyze data from Dark Reading’s survey that shows how security teams are struggling to keep up with the transformational changes to their business model and infrastructure. Many are partnering with security service providers, but they often struggle to get the most value from these partnerships. We show how organizations can optimize - and get the most out of - the relationships with their security solution provider partners.
