Here at Cobalt, we’ve done over 350 penetration tests to date. The information included in this report (Time to Fix, Vulnerability Types, Findings Criticality, Issues Fixed) is summary data from all of the penetration tests performed in 2017. Additionally, we provide survey data (Portfolio Coverage, Pen Test Frequency) from 75 respondents in security, management, operations, DevOps, product, and developer roles. All data has been anonymized to protect the privacy of our contributors.

FireMon is proud to present its 3rd Annual State of the Firewall Report based on 437 survey responses collected between November 16, 2016 and December 6, 2016.

From the report, “This report shares Feedzai’s original research. We found that fraudsters are attacking in methods that are faster and faster – and continuously new. The time horizon for the future of fraud has been shrinking. Today, the time horizon has shrunk to now. What does this new now look like?” Read on to find out more.

From the report, “The advent of big data happened to coincide with the advent of better computing, better algorithms, and new AI-focused organizations, allowing us to take this data and turn it into something even better: meaning. This brings us to machine learning. Later in this guide, we’ll look at how machine learning works and how it can work for you. But first, let’s take a closer look at all the ingredients that got us here.” Read on to learn more.

This report is based on the results of a comprehensive online survey of 437 cybersecurity professionals conducted from June through August 2018 to gain deep insights into the latest application security threats faced by organizations and the solutions to prevent and remediate them. The respondents range from executives to managers and IT security practitioners. They represent organizations of varying sizes across many industries.

Scalar’s study of the cyber resilience of Canadian organizations finds there is a new normal across the threat landscape. Cyber security incidents – whether they be exfiltration, infiltration, or denial of service – are now occurring on a regular basis. To address this, the focus of cyber security efforts is shifting from an emphasis on protection against attacks, to improving the detection of malicious actors on the network, and responding to and recovering from incidents as quickly as possible. The findings of the 2019 Scalar Security Study reflect on these new trends and introduce cyber resilience as a security theme that emphasizes the importance of business continuity and the need for organizations to return to normal operations and a trusted state after an incident has occurred

As the end of 2018 approaches and the last year of the decade dawns, the challenges faced by cyber security teams are a blend of “more of the same” and “let’s change the approach”.
