Cloud security risks and vulnerabilities are on the rise and 30% of businesses fail to apply adequate security controls or provide the tools security and DevOps engineers really need to solve this problem. Unprecedented and rapid expansion to the cloud, prompted by many organizations’ digital transformation also means that cloud services are expanding faster than ever before. AWS alone has experienced over 1000% growth in services since 2013.

The ninth annual ISACA global State of Cybersecurity Survey continues to identify current challenges and trends in the cybersecurity field. For the second consecutive year, ISACA fielded questions to gain deeper insight into persistent issues in cybersecurity workforce skill sets and staffing for entry-level positions. The State of Cybersecurity 2023 report analyzes the survey results on cybersecurity skills and staffing, resources, cyberthreats and cybersecurity maturity.

Organizations are developing new applications as part of an overall movement toward digitally transforming business operations. Many executives and board members still consider these purely technology problems, but this perception is greatly mistaken. Given the potential business impact, they should accept these as business issues. Ensuring system security and resilience must be addressed as part of business planning, risk management, and operations.

Today’s apps are multifunctional, combining communication, collaboration, and commerce. The fragmentation of mobile devices, cloud computing, and third-party components and services have changed how apps store, transmit, and process data. As a result, sensitive information is at risk thanks to the expansion of the attack surface and the rapid evolution of threats.

As the third annual study of Data Protection Trends, this year’s survey was designed to quantify the shifts in overall concerns/goals and strategies for data protection, as well as gain an understanding of the current market landscape on data protection, disaster recovery, cybersecurity/ransomware and containers.

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.

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.

Expel commissioned CSA to develop a survey and report to understand better the industry’s knowledge, attitudes, and opinions regarding security’s relationship to innovation, outcomes of security-enabled innovation, and trends in cloud use. Expel financed the project and co-developed the questionnaire with CSA research analysts. The survey was conducted online by CSA in May of 2023 and received 1018 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 global Study on Closing the IT Security Gap: Addressing Cybersecurity Gaps from Edge to Cloud, now in its third year, is sponsored by Hewlett Packard Enterprises (HPE) to look deeply into the critical actions needed to close security gaps and protect valuable data. In this year’s research, Ponemon Institute surveyed 2,084 IT and IT security practitioners in North America, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Japan, and for the first time, France. All participants in this research are knowledgeable about their organizations’ IT security and strategy and are involved in decisions related to the investment in technologies.

At HPE, we believe that our individual and collective success lies in our ability to share learnings, ideas and opportunities. When it comes to securing our respective organizations, we’ve all plagued by the same challenges: a global cybersecurity skills shortage, an expanding attack surface, distributed data, and increasing demands from transparency from stakeholders. This report showcases some of the work we’ve done on that front during 2022 and some predictions for 2023.

Gurucul conducted a survey of attendees at the 2022 Black Hat USA security conference focused on the Security Operations Center (SOC). We asked security professionals who worked in the SOC about what they needed to be successful, the technologies and attacks they’re most focused on, and their plans for the SOC in the next year.

This AT&T Cybersecurity Insights report focuses on connecting and securing the entire edge computing ecosystem. This report presents a perspective that recognizes the essential characteristics of and key differences among edge architectures and provides a realistic picture of the state of edge.

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 2023 Cloud Security Report is a comprehensive study based on an extensive survey conducted among 351 cybersecurity professionals in the European Union (EU). By analyzing the latest trends in cloud adoption, identifying prevalent security challenges, and highlighting best practices, this report provides insights for organizations seeking to fortify their cloud environments.

CISOs are facing increased challenges in an escalating threat landscape, with email as the primary target for attacks. This white paper breaks down the requirements for modern email security in protecting organizations from advanced and novel threats – moving from historically-trained tools to a behavioral, AI-driven approach.

In this data-driven report, based on our scanning of over 200,000 cloud accounts, including more than 30% of the Fortune 100 environments, we analyze the latest industry trends and developments, presenting a factual and data-based assessment of the current state and progression of cloud technology. We examine how the cloud has evolved over the past year and attempt to shed light on some of the complexity of cloud environments, including aspects such as organizational usage of multi-cloud and both managed and non-managed services.

In this first-ever SCAR report, we analyzed over 370 million cyber assets, findings, and policies across almost 1,300 organizations to better understand today’s cyber asset landscape.
