Verizon report
There's a flood of cybersecurity reports every week, but one of the most respected is Verizon's Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) which has just been published. The DBIR pulls together information from more than 70 sources and one of its key findings is something we emphasise in our training; we should all treat our mobile devices with care! "Research points to users being significantly more susceptible to social attacks they receive on mobile devices," the report says. Among the other key findings, 43% of breaches involved small businesses, email is used to deliver 94% of malicious software, and 34% of breaches involved people inside an affected organisation (though this last figure is notoriously difficult to calculate). The report also illustrates why it's really important to protect C-level executives, and why 2-factor authentication and training are essential. Verizon's report is well-written, accessible and (relatively) concise. It's well worth a read or, if you're short of time, there's always the executive summary.
