The annual Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) published in April was the biggest and most jam-packed ever, with loads of data and trend nuggets that didn't necessarily catch the eye of the media or the public.
Marc Spitler, co-author of the Verizon DBIR, in the next episode of Dark Reading Radio will share some of those lesser-known but most intriguing tidbits from the massive report that captures the attention of the security community every year. Among some of the findings that may have gotten lost in the shuffle: the long-term trend in point-of-sale compromises, how mobile is not a factor in real-world attacks, the role of system admin errors, and some of the lesser-known impacts of a breach.
Spitler will drill down on these and other elements of the DBIR on Dark Reading Radio’s upcoming episode, which will be hosted by Kelly Jackson Higgins, executive editor of Dark Reading.
The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises TodayManaging system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
