The report provides a statistical model of the most common weaknesses faced by organizations to enable data-driven decisions for managing risks and exposures more effectively.

This research demonstrates the continual progression of a cybersecurity conundrum that has become an unfortunate but permanent part of the digital environment. Progress is being made, but new fronts open up and new challenges emerge in a seemingly endless cycle. As the need for security rises to a board level concern, cyber leaders are facing more strategic issues to defend against, even while ongoing threats persist. As those security leaders stand to meet the threats, it behooves organizational leaders to provide the support and resources necessary to help enable those they must count on to keep their enterprises safe.

The report stated that “Equifax lacked a comprehensive IT asset inventory, meaning it lacked a complete understanding of the assets it owned. This made it difficult, if not impossible, for Equifax to know if vulnerabilities existed on its networks. If a vulnerability cannot be found, it cannot be patched.” The Equifax case is one example of an existential and underreported cybersecurity issue: the vast majority of organizations do not have comprehensive visibility of every asset they need to secure.

In our third State of the Cybersecurity Attack Surface report, we continue to see enterprises struggle with many of the same issues they’ve been grappling with—they are blind to IT assets missing endpoint protection, patch management, and, as we now include in this report, vulnerability management. “Stale” IT assets continue to proliferate across corporate networks. Organizations are unnecessarily paying for unused licenses while facing budget cuts and economic challenges.

This report presents a combined look at what Google knows about zero-day exploitation, bringing together analysis from TAG and Mandiant holistically for the first time.

In this special year-end edition of the WatchTower Digest, we discuss the threats we observed and investigated in 2023, and look ahead to the 2024 threat landscape. Our findings are based on SentinelOne’s Singularity telemetry across tens of millions of endpoints, operating across a diverse number of industries and global geographies.

In this report, we shed light on these vulnerabilities and how they impact commercial and federal organizations today. We provide insights from a survey of IT security and data science leaders navigating these challenges. We share predictions driven by data from HiddenLayer’s experiences securing AI in enterprise environments. Lastly, we reveal cutting-edge advancements in security controls for AI in all its forms.

This report sets itself apart with our proprietary data and insights derived from comprehensive detection coverage coupled with human-led expert investigation and confirmation of threats. The data that powers Deepwatch results from thousands of expert investigations across hundreds of thousands of protected systems. This report examines the broader landscape of threats that leverage techniques and other tradecraft. We also track specific threats associating malicious or suspicious activity with a new or existing threat activity cluster, specific malware variants, abuse of legitimate tools, and known threat actors. ATI continually tracks and analyzes threats throughout the year, publishing weekly threat intelligence reports.

In this year’s Annual Cyber Threat Monitor Report, we take a look back at the key events that shaped the cyber threat landscape in 2023, as well as looking ahead at the year to come, sharing insights from our Cyber Threat Intelligence team here at NCC Group. 2023 showed signs that the international community is beginning to take the threats from cyber adversaries more seriously. We saw several examples of coordinated law enforcement action against criminal groups, including key ransomware operators and individuals believed to be acting on behalf of foreign intelligence services.

The 2023 Arctic Wolf State of Cybersecurity Trends Report took the temperature of organizations around the globe and sought to understand not only their current and future concerns, but how they were responding to the problems that had plagued them in previous years. Our research shows that, despite the enduring nature of many of these challenges, organizations are making measurable strides in areas where progress has proven limited in previous years.

The third annual Future of Application Security survey reveals how key stakeholders are responding to this challenge. We surveyed 1504 developers, CISOs, and AppSec managers from a broad range of industries across the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions. The responsibility has shifted away from dedicated security teams and is now shared between AppSec managers and developers.
