This survey, capturing responses from 467 cybersecurity professionals across diverse sectors, seeks to uncover the nature of insider threat challenges faced by organizations, focusing on understanding the factors driving these threats, their detection and mitigation complexities, and the effectiveness of insider threat programs.

Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis (PASTA) is a threat modeling methodology, co-developed by VerSprite’s CEO Tony UcedaVelez. It provides a process for simulating attacks to applications, analyzing cyberthreats that originate them, and mitigating cybercrime risks that these attacks and threats pose to organizations. The process is employed by security professionals across industries to prioritize risks and develop a mature cybersecurity framework that is woven into the business culture and the application development process.

This survey was designed to shed light on current practices, obstacles, and perspectives in vulnerability management. Through understanding how organizations are tackling these challenges, the “2023 State of Vulnerability Management” report offers strategic insights and industry benchmarks.

Gurucul conducted a survey of attendees at the 2022 Black Hat USA security conference focused on the Security Operations Center (SOC). We asked security professionals who worked in the SOC about what they needed to be successful, the technologies and attacks they’re most focused on, and their plans for the SOC in the next year.

In the 2023 edition, we wanted to understand the specific challenges related to building and maintaining Insider Risk programs, technologies and training. To explore this, we surveyed 700 respondents – cybersecurity leaders, cybersecurity managers and cybersecurity practitioners – from US companies with 500 or more employees from a range of public and private sectors.

This Insider Risk Investigations Report highlights the expertise of our team, who has been providing insights from real hands-on investigations since 2017. As always, we are pleased to present our findings in the spirit of sharing these insights as we work towards building greater resilience from insider risk for our customers.

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.

The 2023 Insider Threat Report surveyed over 326 cybersecurity professionals to reveal the latest trends and challenges facing organizations in this changing environment. The report explores their critical data and IT infrastructure. New report from Cybersecurity Insiders and Gurucul shows growing risk from insider from insider attacks as they become more frequent and more difficult to detect, raising concern by security pros.

The 2023 State of Security Report surveyed over 240 cybersecurity professionals from North American to reveal the key challenges cybersecurity teams are facing, how they solve cyber issues, and the security technologies organizations prioritize.

The 2023 Security Service Edge Adoption Report delivers insight on the shift away from legacy access solutions and the rapidly growing SSE market in light of the modern workplace.

The 2022 Securonix Threat Report highlights the trends, required data, and detection summaries for key trends. Additionally, our report covers the techniques we’ve seen from the trenches across insider threat, cloud infrastructure misuse/abuse, and preemptive ransomware detection. Finally, we added a new section in this report covering loT/OT.

The study revealed that every fourth organization believes they are at greater cybersecurity risk now than before the pandemic. The most common incidents reported since transition to remote work were dependent on the human factor and included phishing, admin mistakes and improper data sharing by employees.

The 2021 Insider Threat Report reveals the latest trends and challenges facing organizations in this new environment. The report explores how IT and cybersecurity professionals deal with risky insiders and how organizations are preparing to protect their critical data and IT infrastructure better.

In 2021, Cybersecurity Insiders conducted the fourth annual threat hunting research project to gain deeper insights into the maturity and evolution of the security practice. While many SOCs are struggling to cope with the current security threat workload, more organizations are adopting threat hunting as part of their security operations. They are discovering that proactive threat hunting can reduce the risk and impact of threats while improving defenses against new attacks.

The 2021 Threat Hunting Report explores the challenges, technology preferences, and benefits of threat hunting to gain deeper insights into the maturity and evolution of the security practice. Threat hunting continues to evolve as an innovative cybersecurity tactic that focues on proactively detecting and isolating Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) that might otherwise go undetected by tradition, reactive security technologies.
