Earlier this week, Protiviti released a new report titled 2018 Vulnerability Report: Assessing Nine Years of Cyber Security Vulnerabilities and Exploits.  Cybersecurity is certainly a focus in the news and the boardroom.  This publication shares what we’ve learned about organizations’ approach to addressing vulnerabilities over the last nine years.

Here is a quick overview of the research:

Protiviti’s 2018 Security Threat Report aims to help organizations address and understand the cyber security landscape by exploring and detailing the most common digital threats today. Since 2009, Protiviti security labs in the United States have performed more than 500 in-depth security scans on behalf of a broad range of organizations to test and assess their IT systems and infrastructure for cyber security risks. Keeping the organizations anonymous, we have compiled and quantified the vulnerability and threat discoveries in our data, offering insights and trends regarding the types of threats organizations are most likely to face, the most frequently perpetrated cyber crimes, the recent acceleration of attacks, and trends in cyber attacks by industry and size, among other views.
