Each attack carries greater significance today, and may have global financial and operational repercussions for various stakeholders. Upstream’s 2024 Global Annual Cybersecurity Report examines how cybersecurity risks have evolved from experimental hacks into large-scale risks, focusing on safety and trust, operational availability, data privacy, and financial implications.

Our respondents were asked to open up about the challenges they’ve faced while securing their digital enterprises over the past year. We are at a critical juncture in digital transformation. The distributed workforce is now the norm, and companies must support remote productivity of which cloud will play a key role. This requires leaders to plan security for hybrid infrastructure – a distinct departure from the inherited on-premises strategies of most organizations. That’s why there is a lot to learn from this year’s temperature check on the industry.

This report aims, simply, to help you build a proactive defense that anticipates and thwarts tomorrow’s threats. So, for the second year running we rallied the community for the largest predictions survey the cybersecurity awareness community has seen. We’ve harnessed their expertise, experience, and frontline intel.

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.

In our 11th annual Data Breach Industry Forecast, we looked more broadly than ever before at trends and data on a global scale as data breaches have no borders. This, along with the fact that nationstate-sponsored gangs and attacks are becoming increasingly more strategic and purposeful due to political conflicts or interests, made it fitting to expand our lens. Our predictions come from Experian’s long history of helping companies navigate breaches over the past 21 years. Here’s where we expect to see some hard to believe, but possible developments in the world of data security incidents in 2024.

This report is broken into four different threat types: identity, cloud, computer-based, and phishing. Keep in mind, though, that these threats are tightly related. Compromise of user identities can occur through phishing and can impact an organization’s cloud assets and endpoints, or malicious activity on an endpoint may be indicative of an exploited vulnerability. We’ll highlight that interconnectivity throughout.

The healthcare sector is particularly vulnerable to cybersecurity risks and the stakes for patient care and safety are particularly high. Healthcare facilities are attractive targets for cyber criminals in light of their size, technological dependence, sensitive data, and unique vulnerability to disruptions. And cyber incidents in healthcare are on the rise.

The world of cybercrime never stands still. In the new Cyber Threat Report – Edition 2021/22 – the IT experts from Hornet security once again take a close look at the gateway of email communication and analyze the latest cybercriminal scams. In doing so, they examine what threats have emerged in 2021, what has become of Emotet, and what companies need to be prepared for when opening their inboxes in the future.

By leveraging its huge user dataset, Hornet security is uniquely positioned to conduct a detailed examination of email-based threats and distill this into important insights for IT security professionals. Email continues to be an essential communication channel. However, in our analysis of more than 45 billion emails, 36.4% are categorized as “unwanted.” 96.4% of unwanted emails are spam or rejected outright due to external indicators, and just over 3.6% were flagged as malicious.

The Cyber Security Report (formerly Cyber Threat Report) is an annual analysis of the current cyber threat landscape based on real-world data collected and studied by Hornet security’s dedicated Security Lab team. Hornet security processes more than two billion emails every month. By analyzing the threats identified in these communications, combined with a detailed knowledge of the wider threat landscape, the Security Lab reveals major trends and can make informed projections for the future of Microsoft 365 security threats, enabling businesses to act accordingly. Those findings and data are contained within this report.

The 5th edition of Wipro’s State of Cybersecurity Report (SOCR) offers a perspective and framework to help enterprises achieve cyber resilience. You will find a wealth of data and actionable insights covering attacks, breaches and law, along with the state of business cyber capabilities across geographies and industry sectors, plus future trends.

The Hiscox Cyber Readiness Report 2021 reveals that US firms are a global leader in cyber readiness, with more classified as ’cyber experts,’ (25%) compared to other countries. But there is still work to be done when it when it comes to dealing with ransomware and phishing emails, as US businesses are the most likely to pay a ransom. In this year’s report, we saw a disparity when it came to the level of cyber expertise US businesses have versus the actions they take when an attack actually occurs.

The Hiscox Cyber Readiness Report 2022 reveals that both the frequency and cost of cyber attacks are rising for US businesses, and the pandemic is continuing to have lasting effects on the cyber security landscape. While the US remains a global leader in cyber maturity, they are also most likely to pay a cyber-related ransom. To gauge businesses’ preparedness to combat cyber incidents and breaches, Hiscox surveyed over 5,000 professionals responsible for their company’s cyber security from the US, UK, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Ireland. This includes key findings from over 900 professionals from the US.

The Hiscox Cyber Readiness Report 2023 reveals that small business owners are getting smarter, but so are cyber criminals. Although 63% of small businesses in the US are cyber intermediates and 4% are cyber experts, almost half (41%) experienced at least one cyber-attack during the past year. The report surveyed over 5,000 professionals responsible for their company’s cyber security strategy from the US, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Republic of Ireland, and The Netherlands, including more than 500 US small business professionals.

The Security Navigator reflects first and foremost the reality of the conflictual nature of cyber warfare. It mirrors the disinhibition of threat actors motivated by state strategies or hacktivism as well as criminal opportunities. In this environment, espionage, sabotage, disinformation and extortion are becoming increasingly intertwined. This document is also intended to become the cornerstone of the partnership of trust that we wish to build with you. It must enrich our debates within a community that is still too isolated.
