State of Cybersecurity 2019 reports the results of the annual ISACA global State of Cybersecurity Survey, conducted in November 2018. While some findings pointed to unforeseen trends, many survey results reinforce previous years’ findings—specifically that the need for trained and experienced cybersecurity professionals vastly outweighs the supply. State of Cybersecurity 2019 provides a distinctive view of cybersecurity from the perspective of those who define the field—cybersecurity managers and practitioners. This is the first report based on the survey, which focuses on the current trends in cybersecurity workforce development, staffing, budget and gender diversity.

The data in this survey suggests that the role of the firewall in network security remains critical even as the network security landscape undergoes significant evolution and expansion. Within the enterprise, organizational and departmental roles and responsibilities with respect to network security in the new technology landscape remain in flux. At the same time, parameters that bound traditional definitions of ‘firewall’ are subject to change as emerging platforms and devices acquire characteristics that were previously in the domain of traditional firewalls. The totality of this complexity overlays and exacerbates pre-existing challenges in managing firewalls rules and protocols and points to the need for innovative solutions to reign in complexity and ease the burdens on overextended network security professionals.

FireMon is proud to present its 3rd Annual State of the Firewall Report based on 437 survey responses collected between November 16, 2016 and December 6, 2016. Respondents included IT security practitioners representing a range of professional roles, organization sizes and industry verticals. Survey participants were asked 26 questions about their current firewall infrastructure and management challenges as well as questions about adoption and impact of emerging technologies such as SDN, cloud, microsegmentation and Internet of Things (IoT).

FireMon is proud to present its 2nd Annual State of the Firewall Report based on a November 2015 survey of 600 IT security practitioners, representing a range of professional roles, organization sizes and industry verticals. Survey participants were asked 21 questions about their current firewall infrastructure and management challenges as well as questions about adoption and impact of emerging technologies such as NGFW, SDN and cloud. When compared with results from the 2015 study, the responses revealed three trends that this report will explore further: 1) Firewalls remain an extremely valuable part of the network security infrastructure; 2) Next-generation firewalls continue to see broad adoption, adding complexity to security management; and 3) Awareness around SDN and its impact on network security has increased.

From the report, “The Digital Single Market, Revised Payment Services Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation are all complex and occasionally bewildering pieces of legislation, which aim to transform the European online market and improve services by promoting innovation. However, as they are yet to be fully implemented, organisations are understandably concerned about what they will look like in practice as opposed to on paper. Will global merchants from outside the region still be able to compete in Europe or will the new regulations be used as a form of protectionism? Will they fight fraud and chargebacks or unwittingly contribute to them? And how will Brexit – the unstable factor in the immediate future of the EU – impact all of this? As merchants and others wait in anticipation for the final stages of these three policy initiatives to take shape, The Chargeback Company is joined by contributors from ACI Worldwide and Kount to analyse the likely implications and opportunities for doing business in Europe from 2018.”

From the report, “The report also looks at the trends in the usage by fraudsters of specific methods or directions of attack (e.g. location manipulation, account takeover, etc.). This is to provide insight into the various techniques commonly employed by today’s savvy fraudster. The increased sophistication of the online criminal underworld, where a huge and connected marketplace exists to provide numerous services that make theft easier (and where stolen data can be found easily and cheaply following the massive data breaches of the last few years), means that fraudsters have direct access to the tools and information they need to commit online fraud. This has lowered the barrier to entry for new fraudsters to enter, and enabled experienced fraudsters to increase the scale, sophistication and speed of their attacks. This report is designed to reflect the current patterns in that scene and help merchants to understand further and prepare for the attacks they are seeing or are likely to face.” Read on to find out more.
