In the second quarter of 2023 GreyNoise researchers observed a substantial change in the behavior of some regular internet scanning idioms. Inventory scans—where both benign and malicious actors perform regular checks for a given technology or specific vulnerability being present—significantly reduced in frequency and scale. These targeted attacks threaten to circumvent existing defense capabilities and expose organizations to a new wave of disruptive breaches. Defenders must evolve in response.

The target population was reached through in-person events, and by third parties via their opt-in email lists, Genetec opt-in email lists, and by digital promotions. This report points out whether answers are from all respondents, end user respondents, or channel partner respondents.

The 2024 Data Threat Report (DTR) analyzes how core security practices have changed in response to or in anticipation of changing threats. This report also offers perspectives on what organizations can do to leverage data assets to expand opportunities to make their businesses more agile and build trust with their customers. This report also considers both securing the use of GenAI and using GenAI to better secure the enterprise. Differing priorities from different functional leaders and external stakeholders will require security and risk management leaders to build stronger relationships.

Security Observability is a technique of using logs, metrics, and traces to infer risk, monitor threats, and alert on breaches. It is a critical technique for security professionals to embrace. Security professionals use observation of system behavior to detect, understand, and stop new, unknown attacks. The Observe Data Lake approach gives customers the power they need to see how systems and people interact over time. Better security for less spend with Observe. We’ve been surveying the Observability field for years at Observe via our State of Observability Report, but this year is our first survey to focus on Security Observability. We talked to 500 security professionals to understand their current approach to security and how it’s intersecting with observability.

The report raises a number of interesting findings, which you’ll read about in the pages to come. However, one through line that emerges is the need for reliable threat intelligence and its impact on threat hunters’ ability to do their jobs well. Threat intelligence, or lack thereof, is a commonality across the top challenges respondents identified. Access to threat intelligence also affects nearly every aspect of how respondents say they do their jobs.

In this report, we shed light on these vulnerabilities and how they impact commercial and federal organizations today. We provide insights from a survey of IT security and data science leaders navigating these challenges. We share predictions driven by data from HiddenLayer’s experiences securing AI in enterprise environments. Lastly, we reveal cutting-edge advancements in security controls for AI in all its forms.

The goal of the index is simple: We combine on-chain data and real-world data to measure which countries are leading the world in grassroots crypto adoption. Grassroots crypto adoption isn’t about which countries have the highest raw transaction volumes — anyone could probably guess that the biggest, wealthiest countries are far ahead there. Instead, we want to highlight the countries where average, everyday people are embracing crypto the most. To do that, we’ve designed the Global Crypto Adoption Index to identify countries where the most people are putting the greatest share of their wealth into cryptocurrency.

Our goal is that this report serves as a crucial resource in enhancing your strategies and defenses in the battle to protect your organization’s assets and integrity against insider risks. This survey, capturing responses from 467 cybersecurity professionals across diverse sectors, seeks to uncover the nature of insider threat challenges faced by organizations, focusing on understanding the factors driving these threats, their detection and mitigation complexities, and the effectiveness of insider threat programs.

Over the course of the year, insurers responded to these and other dynamics of the risk and insurance environment by implementing their own resiliency measures, some of which impacted insurance market conditions. They undertook various measures, including refocusing their appetite, adjusting their underwriting policies, shifting their pricing models, streamlining their organizations, and aligning with business partners who share their values.

2024 is poised to be a hotbed for new challenges in cybersecurity. As both economic and political terrains continue to undergo digitization, enterprises will increasingly leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), the cloud, and Web3 technologies. While these innovations are expected to lend a hand to organizations, they also provide opportunities for cybercriminals by promising big returns, more streamlined operations on wider impact zones, and more targeted victims. In this report, we detail the focal points of next year’s threat landscape, along with insights and recommended mitigation measures from our team of cybersecurity experts that are designed to guide decision-makers toward well-informed choices.

The Sysdig 2024 Cloud‑Native Security and Usage Report comes at an exciting time after a year of cybersecurity making headlines worldwide.
