FortiGuard Labs experts leverage Fortinet’s large global footprint to continually monitor the threat landscape and the major geopolitical events that influence it. This report presents findings and insights from six months of intense research, with recommendations for leaders and practitioners to better prepare and protect your organization.

In this threat intelligence spotlight report, eSentire’s Threat Response Unit (TRU) provides a threat analysis of the most common cyber threat detected across our global legal customer base.

This 2023 Cloud Security Report surveyed 752 cybersecurity professionals to reveal key challenges and priorities. In 2023, the cloud is fundamentally delivering on its promised business outcomes, including flexible capacity and scalability, increased agility, improved availability, and accelerated deployment and provisioning.

In this year’s survey, more than 80% of respondents say they are “very” or “extremely” concerned about the threat of ransomware, yet a similar number (78%) of organizations surveyed also believe they are “very” or “extremely” prepared to thwart a breach. Despite those concerns and feelings of preparedness, half of the organizations surveyed still fell victim to ransomware last year.

This report describes threat phenomena, trends, and recommendations we believe will help organizations prepare for the future. Elastic discloses malware research, attack patterns, and clusters of malicious activity to the community -summarized in this inaugural report. Throughout this report, we observe that financially motivated threats are the most active, and the groups responsible for them are acting with increasing speed.

This report aims to demonstrate the state of full stack security based on thousands of full stack assessments globally, delivered by the Edgescan SaaS during 2019. This report is still a joy to do as it gives decent insight into what’s going on from a trends and statistics perspective and overall state of cyber security. This report provides a glimpse of a global snapshot across dozens of industry verticals how to prioritize on what is important, as not all vulnerabilities are equal.

The Edgescan report has become a reliable source for truly representing the global state of cyber security vulnerability management. This is becoming more evident as our unique dataset is now also part of other annual security analysis reports, such as the Verizon DBIR (we are happy contributors for many years now). This year we examined vulnerability metrics from a known vulnerability (CVE), Malware, Ransomware and visibility standpoint (exposed services), coupling both internal and public Internet-facing systems. We also take a look at how quick we are fixing various vulnerabilities based on risk.

The report outlines the most significant identity attacks of 2022, the weaknesses of MFA, and the IAM hygiene issues that are increasing identity attack surfaces. This report analyzed user data, login information, and information from identity providers including Okta, Azure Active Directory, Duo, and Auth0. In total, the analysis covers more than 500,000 identities from organizations with 1,000+ employees.

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.

In this report, we highlight which industries and countries have the most robust cyber postures and which are lagging, as well as the most prevalent vulnerabilities. We also examine the scores across different industries, countries, and company sizes and provide recommendations and best practices on how to achieve a better cyber posture. This report is based on data gathered over two years of cyber assessments, spanning 15 countries and nearly a dozen industries. Each assessment includes an evaluation of the organization across seven different security domains, with a total of 312 data points.

Cobalt’s 5th edition of The State of Pentesting explores this question, tapping into data from 3,100 pentests and over 1,000 responses from security practitioners in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Disruption, transformation, volatility — Top 5 most prevalent security issues whichever keyword fits your style, it all points to one fact: change is the constant security teams have had to live by for years.

This report demonstrates the state of full stack security based on thousands of security assessments and penetration tests on millions of assets that were performed globally from the Edgescan Cybersecurity Platform in 2022. This is an analysis of vulnerabilities detected in the systems of hundreds of organizations across a wide range of industries – from the Fortune 500 to medium and small businesses.

For the report, Marsh McLennan paired its extensive proprietary dataset of cyber claims with the results from Marsh Cybersecurity Self-Assessment (CSA) questionnaires, which are composed of hundreds of questions and responses from individual organizations. When combined, the two datasets allow for deep insights into which cybersecurity controls have the greatest effect on the likelihood of an organization experiencing a cyber event. Such innovative use of data and analytics can help companies identify which controls to prioritize. In turn, this can help position an insured favorably during cyber insurance underwriting.

Our second annual report presents key insights drawn from tens of thousands of attack path assessments conducted through XM Cyber’s exposure management platform during 2022. These assessments uncovered over 60 million exposures affecting 10 million entitles deemed critical to business operations. Anonymized datasets were exported from the XM Cyber platform and provided to Cyentia Institute for analysis.

MSPs have unique cybersecurity challenges to secure their businesses and customers. The “2023 MSP Threat Report” addresses these challenges specifically, using threat intelligence, insights, and predictions from the ConnectWise Cyber Research Unit (CRU). The report covers the following: Major MSP-focus hacks in 2022, emerging and continuing cyberattack trends, top ransomware methods of threat actors, and action items for MSPs in 2023.

This report is based on in-depth analysis of nearly 40,000 threats detected across our 800+ customers’ endpoints, networks, cloud workloads, identities, and SaaS applications over the past year. This report provide you with a comprehensive view of this threat landscape, including new twists on existing adversary techniques, and that our team has observed as adversaries continue to organize, commoditize, and ratchet up their cybersecurity operations.

In the new Cybereason survey, 1,203 cybersecurity professionals from eight countries and a dozen industries were asking to describe the challenges currently faced by their SOCs and how they impact their plans for modernization. Nearly half of the respondents (49%) said ransomware is the most common incident type they deal with daily, followed closely by supply chain attacks (46%). Thirty-seven percent said daily alerts consumed most of their time, and 31% identified targeted attacks as a top daily concern.

In H2 2022, the most significant change among all countries in the percentage of ICS computers on which malicious objects were blocked was observed in Russia, where that percentage increased by 9 p.p.

Unit 221B assessed Deep Instinct’s claims that their Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) product can automatically prevent unknown threats by using deep learning to identify patterns indicative of malicious behavior prior to execution on the endpoint.

The mission of this report is to provide actionable intelligence on targeted attacks, cybercrime-motivated threat actors, and campaigns targeting organizations like yours so that you can make well-informed decisions and take prompt effective actions.

In the summer and fall of 2019, EY surveyed 246 global institutions that had a third-party risk management (TPRM) function in various sectors, including but not limited to, retail and commercial banking, investment banking, insurance, advanced manufacturing and mobility, technology, media and entertainment, power and utilities, and health.
