  • Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report 2022

    The DBIR was created to provide a place for security practitioners to look for data-driven, real-world views on what commonly befalls companies with regard to cybercrime. 

    The past year has been extraordinary in a number of ways, but it was certainly memorable with regard to the murky world of cybercrime. From very well publicized critical infrastructure attacks to massive supply chain breaches, the financially motivated criminals and nefarious nation-state actors have rarely, if ever, come out swinging the way they did over the last 12 months. As always, we will examine what our data has to tell us about these and the other common action types used against enterprises. This year the DBIR team analyzed 23,896 security incidents, of which, 5,212 were confirmed data breaches.

    Looking to 2019

    A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. This is also true in the world of security. In 2018, we tracked a key growing threat trend - that when just one device in a home or small business (usually the router) is compromised, then the rest of the devices on the network become easy to compromise. With connected devices - known as the Internet of Things - growing faster than any device category in history, it’s increasingly difficult to buy appliances and home goods that do not have some connection over to the internet.
