Within this context, we surveyed over 2,000 cybersecurity decision-makers in 22 countries, working in enterprises with over 500 employees, to understand the current state of business enablement. More precisely, we wanted to identify, with data, the kinds of attributes that have a meaningful impact on business enablement, including alignment, skills, and organizational structures. In this report, you’ll get a picture of the current situation and understand some of the drivers that determine not just cybersecurity posture but also business success.

CompTIA’s 2022 State of Cybersecurity report examines the disconnect between root cause and symptoms. Digital transformation driven by cloud and mobile adoption is forcing a new strategic approach to cybersecurity, but fully adopting this new approach poses significant challenges, both tactically and financially. Although cybersecurity remains one of the most pressing issues for modern business, the hurdles that come from legacy views of IT and low understanding of the threat landscape make it difficult to follow the prescribed treatment.

This report aims to take a look at the times when things did not work as intended—not to point fingers but to help us all learn and improve. In a time where almost everyone, corporations and individuals alike, is looking at ways to do more with less, we believe a close analysis of when our defenses failed can be very beneficial. While times of great change are always challenging, they often also prompt us to take stock of our situation and, if necessary, refocus both our viewpoint and our energies. Such is the case with the DBIR this year. As a team, we decided to take a step back toward the fundamental things that got us where we are, an intense focus on actual data breaches analyzed using our own VERIS Framework. And speaking of VERIS, one of the new goodies this refocusing brings is an even better mapping between VERIS and MITRE ATT&CK through a collaboration with MITRE Ingenuity and the Center for Threat Informed Defense (CTID).

The purpose of this research is to understand the risks created by the cybersecurity gap between the corporate office and executives’ protection at home. According to 42% of respondents, their key executives and family members have already experienced at least one attack by a cybercriminal.

For the last eight years, we’ve produced the State of DevOps report, hearing from over 33,000 professionals worldwide. We’ve outlined the DevOps practices that drive successful software delivery and operational performance, with a deep focus on security for the 2022 report.

In this report, Perception Point analyzes the most pervasive attacks its advanced threat detection platform detected in 2022, noting a particular increase in account takeover attacks in the latter half of the year as well as an ongoing growth in phishing attacks. This report examines cyber threats through distinct lenses based on the intelligence gathered by Perception Point’s proprietary detection engines and its managed incident response service.

With a steady increase in cyberattacks each year and a constantly evolving threat landscape, more organizations are turning their attention to building long-term cyber resilience: the ability of the workforce to adapt, respond, and recover from cybersecurity incidents, not merely the ability to detect and prevent them. To learn more about the state of cyber resilience, we surveyed senior security and risk leaders and found that cyber resilience indeed tops their list of strategic and spending priorities for organizations in 2023, driven largely by concerns about ransomware, supply chain and third-party attacks, and coding vulnerabilities.

This report is different in that we’re focusing on explicit relationships that are manually configured by organizations using RiskRecon’s platform. In other words, we’re examining curated portfolios of vendors and suppliers tracked as part of organizations’ third-party risk management program. We started with a dataset extracted from RiskRecon’s platform consisting of over 100,000 primary organizations and more than 300,000 monitored third-party relationships. We’re focusing on direct relationships in this report, but the data supports the analysis of indirect (fourth- to nth-party) relationships.

Our annual State of the Phish report explores end-user security awareness, resilience and risk across 15 countries (eight more than in previous years). The report benchmarks understanding of common cyber threats and defensive tactics and reveals how potential gaps in knowledge and cyber hygiene enable the real-world attack landscape. Most attacks target people before they target systems. That’s why helping users build sustainable security habits is crucial.

The goal of this paper is to help decision-makers and entities who can protect systems from ransomware at scale, such as the security industry, governments, and policymakers, to form defensive strategies on how best to make an impact on the ransomware ecosystem. While this paper does not focus on hands-on technical defenses that an enterprise would look to for deployment, it does aim to provide decision-makers with methods for understanding the level of risk that an organization faces from this threat.

Our international survey explored the experience of ransomware attacks on organizations over the last 12 months. The findings show that almost three-quarters (73%) of respondents report being hit with at least one successful ransomware attack in 2022 — and 38% say they were hit twice or more.

In this latest edition of the Invicti AppSec Indicator, we asked development and security practitioners how they deal with all the excess AppSec noise in the face of relentless pressure to deliver business-critical software on time without compromising security.

In our bi-annual AppSec Indicator report, we uncover insights and trends to guide best practices in vulnerability identification and remediation. For this year’s Spring edition of the Invicti AppSec Indicator, we analyzed data from 1.7 million scans conducted by the 1,700 customers that use our cloud dynamic application security testing (DAST) offering, representing approximately half of our entire customer base.

Executives clearly recognize the danger. Almost three-quarters (74%) of 168 executives recently surveyed by Harvard Business Review Analytic Services regard cyber risk as one of the top-three risks their company faces today, and 67% predict it will be a top three risk two years for now. Only half of respondents, however, say they are successful or very successful at generating insights and enabling informed decisions on cyber risk and at anticipating, preparing for, and responding to future cyber incidents.

The basis of this report is the Zscaler ThreatLabz research team’s analysis of nearly 6 billion data loss policy violations from November 2021 through July 2022. We’ll look at what and how enterprise data is being shared, where it’s going, which malicious actors are targeting it, and how you can improve your datasharing hygiene so as to mitigate risk without stifling productivity.

This report will help you recognize the social engineering tactics and sophisticated coding used in phishing attacks, so you can prevent costly data breaches.
