This poll was conducted from April 23-24, 2019, among a national sample of 2201 U.S. Adults. The interviews were conducted online and the data were weighted to approximate a target sample of Adults based on age, race/ethnicity, gender, educational attainment, and region. Results from the full survey have a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.

This report discusses the problems with passwords, “The problem is that passwords, 2FA and legacy multi-factor authentication solutions have one thing in common – they rely on shared secrets. That means that a user has a secret, and a centralized authority holds the same secret. When authenticating, those two secrets are compared to approve user access. If a malicious 3rd party intercepts the secret, they can impersonate the user. The bad news is that this reliance on shared secrets has kept large populations of users vulnerable to phishing, credential stuffing attacks, and password reuse while contributing to the steep rise in Account Take Over (ATO). The good news? The Digital Identity landscape is about to change very quickly.”

Positive Technologies experts regularly perform security analysis of mobile applications. This report summarizes the findings of their work performing security assessment of mobile apps for iOS and Android in 2018.

Since 2017, risk experts have consistently ranked large-scale cyber attacks and data fraud among the top five mostly likely risks around the world. Despite growing anxieties about cyber threats, cyber resilience strategies and investments continue to lag. Globally, the time taken to discover a data breach has considerably lowered since 2017, but organizations in the Asia-Pacific region took four months longer than the global median. Internet users are growing 10 times faster than global population, exponentially increasing the surface area of attack. For example, in 2018, the total cost of cyber crimes grew by a third compared to 2016, to $600 billion, but investments in cyber security only increased 10 percent over the same period.

From the report, “How do we actually “play the hacker”? We do this by deploying simulators that play the role of a “virtual hacker” across endpoints, network and cloud, and execute breach methods from our hacker’s playbook. Our findings are incorporated in this report, and analyzed by SafeBreach Labs, with the hope that security teams can glean some interesting insights into the things not to do in their environment.”

20 Leading CISO’s from the healthcare industry offer their perspective on evolving cyberattacks, ransomware & the biggest concerns to their organizations.

Bromium Insights Report is designed to help our customers become more aware of emerging threats and trends and to equip security teams with knowledge and tools to combat today’s attacks and anticipate evolving threats to manage their security posture.

This report outlines the findings from extensive primary research analyzing more than six million enterprise devices over a one year period. Our analysis led to a stunning discovery: much of endpoint security spend is voided because tools and agents fail, reliably and predictably. The clear conclusion is that increasing security spending does not increase safety. In fact, every additional security tool only increases the probability of failure and decay. The data in this report provides evidence that merely investing in more endpoint security tools is ineffective, and a new approach is needed. To secure the endpoint, the security tools already in place must be made resilient.

Cloud is the center of IT and increasingly, the foundation for cyber security. Understanding how threat vectors are shifting in cloud is fundamental to making the necessary updates to your security program and strategy. Symantec’s CSTR shines a light on how to secure the digitally transformed, virtual organization of today and tomorrow.

This report examines a wide range of cyberattack detections and trends from a sample of 354 Vectra customers with more than 3 million devices and workloads per month from nine different industries. This report takes a multidisciplinary approach that spans all strategic phases of the attack lifecycle.

This report from Bromium offers insights into notable threats and events from 2019.

This report offers insights from the Global Deployment of SentinelOne Agents.

This report details the Industry Average detection efficacy of the leading MTD solutions used against malicious applications, network attacks and device vulnerabilities. During testing, the Quality of Experience (QoE) and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of each MTD solution was also assessed to determine the overall value of each product.

This report is a discussion of the findings and trends of 169 ransomware incidents affecting state and local governments since 2013.

Understanding the gap in perceptions of cybersecurity between consumers and the organizations that serve them is a key theme of this report.

This report identifies challenges and perceptions that enterprises, midmarket companies, and SMBs face across seven industry verticals including manufacturing, financial, and healthcare. The goal is to help readers to understand the common issues and where they are doing a better or worse job than others. Ultimately, the report will help readers understand how to handle threats better, no matter where they stand now.

Every organization, industry and economy around the world is confronting more risks than ever before. Considering this backdrop, it’s troubling that many organizations report that they may be less prepared than they have ever been. A key insight from Aon’s 2019 Global Risk Management Survey is that organizations need to be more prepared for the broad range of risks that threaten their ability to continue growing, protecting their brand and serving clients and stakeholders.

This report offers quantitative findings from a study of UK individuals to measure and understand awareness and attitudes towards cyber security, and related behaviors. The findings are part of a wider research project to provide insight to inform HM Government’s approach to encourage positive behavior amongst the public in protecting themselves against cyber threats.

A study on the causes and evolution of Americans’ and Canadians’ stressors relating to cybersecurity and personal data protection

From the report, “For our 4th Year running, welcome to the edgescan Vulnerability Stats Report. This report aims to demonstrate the state of full stack security based on edgescan data for 2018. The edgescan report has become a reliable source for truly representing the global state of cyber security. This year we took a deeper look at vulnerability metrics from a known vulnerability (CVE) and visibility standpoint. We still see high rates of known/patchable vulnerabilities which have working exploits in the wild, which possibly demonstrates it is hard to patch production systems effectively on a consistent basis.”

As with driving, not only do you get a good look at what’s behind you, but you can often spot what’s coming up quick, set to overtake you. That’s the spirit of this threat report. We’ve picked out five key stories from the last year or so, not just because they were big events, but because we think these threats, or similar ones, could very well appear in the near future.
