This report seized the opportunity to do something different; it now focuses on highlighting what’s next for the hacking community. From neurodiversity in the hacking community to the rise of hacking influencer platforms, we’ve examined a broad spectrum of important topics. Now, most security professionals not only understand the difference between threat actors and hackers, but they actually have personal experience with ethical hacking.

In this report we begin by examining the prevalence of those vulnerabilities across assets to determine which ones are most common. Then we measure how quickly those vulnerabilities are remediated and what factors speed up or slow down that process. We’ll begin our foray into the wilds of the vulnerability landscape by examining the product vendors that shape it. This is important because these technologies are commonly used, thus vulnerabilities affecting them can have a widespread impact on cyber risk posture.

This is the sixth year in a row Tidelift has conducted a survey about open source and the third time it focused exclusively on the maintainers who create and maintain the open source projects we all depend on. The most cited stat from that previous survey was that 60% of maintainers described themselves as unpaid hobbyists. We asked the same question again this year to see if things had changed.

The primary goal of OT Security Leaders it to ensure that the risk of a cyber incident impacting the Reliability, Availability and Safety of operations is minimised. This requires identification and management of vulnerabilities, and a layer of controls to prevent threat actors from accessing networks. The logical starting point is to identify and classify all assets though this is rarely a simple task.

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.

Organizations are facing a growing number of security alerts, a quickly evolving threat landscape, and ongoing staffing shortages. To better understand these challenges and how organizations are prepared to address them, Swimlane recently partnered with Dimensional Research, a leading independent research firm, to survey security professionals and executives from around the world. The survey investigated the perceptions of cybersecurity among front-line professionals, current trends in attracting and retaining top talent, and the effectiveness of tools leveraged to address security challenges.

The global Study on Closing the IT Security Gap: Addressing Cybersecurity Gaps from Edge to Cloud, now in its third year, is sponsored by Hewlett Packard Enterprises (HPE) to look deeply into the critical actions needed to close security gaps and protect valuable data. In this year’s research, Ponemon Institute surveyed 2,084 IT and IT security practitioners in North America, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Japan, and for the first time, France. All participants in this research are knowledgeable about their organizations’ IT security and strategy and are involved in decisions related to the investment in technologies.

The 2023 Cloud Security Report is a comprehensive study based on an extensive survey conducted among 351 cybersecurity professionals in the European Union (EU). By analyzing the latest trends in cloud adoption, identifying prevalent security challenges, and highlighting best practices, this report provides insights for organizations seeking to fortify their cloud environments.

In this data-driven report, based on our scanning of over 200,000 cloud accounts, including more than 30% of the Fortune 100 environments, we analyze the latest industry trends and developments, presenting a factual and data-based assessment of the current state and progression of cloud technology. We examine how the cloud has evolved over the past year and attempt to shed light on some of the complexity of cloud environments, including aspects such as organizational usage of multi-cloud and both managed and non-managed services.

This year, ClubCISO celebrates the release of its 10th Annual Security Maturity Report, conducted from an anonymous survey of 182 senior executives with responsibility for their organizations’ information security. The report outlines clear trends across the EMEA information security landscape, enabling businesses to benchmark their security investments against peer organizations. The report sheds some light on the current opportunities and challenges of today’s information security leaders.

In this report you’ll gain valuable insights into the current state of cyber resilience, understand the latest threats, trends, and best practices to protect your organization effectively. Discover proactive strategies and technological solutions to bolster your organization’s cyber defenses, mitigating risks and minimizing the financial impact of potential cyber attacks.

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 this report, we share our industry-leading lineup of which threat actors, families, campaigns, and favorite techniques were prevalent during the last quarter. But there’s more. We’ve also expanded our sources to glean data from ransomware leak sites, and security industry reports. And as Trellix resources grow, so do the categories of threat research including new content covering Network Security, Cloud Incidents, Endpoint Incidents, and Security Operations.

Omdia conducted a comprehensive comparative analysis of the output of 11 organizations that disclose information security vulnerabilities. The data collected for this report stems from multiple courses, including the following: primary internal research, individual vendor interviews, open course publications and publicly disclosed reports.

As organizations adopt modern software development processes leveraging cloud platforms, they are looking to incorporate security processes and controls into their software development lifestyle (SDLC) processes.

We wanted to gain insights into the experience of security teams who are at the helm of their organization’s detection and response operations and uncover more about what they experience each day. We surveyed over 400 security engineers and analysts to understand the current state of detection and response.

Palo Alto Networks surveyed 3,000 cloud security and DevOps professionals from around the world to gain insight into organizations’ cloud adoption strategies, budgets, experiences, and future plans.

This report incorporates not only the malware zoo, but new analysis for what is being detected in the wild. Also added: statistics detailing the top MITRE ATT&CK techniques observed in Q4 2020 from Criminal/APT groups.
