Summary Bullets:
• Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) uncovered exploitation of vulnerabilities nearly tripled last year, up 180% from 2022.
• The DBIR underscores the need for end-user education, with non-malicious human interactions associated with 68% of breaches.
Verizon’s 2024 DBIR paints a complex and challenging picture of the global threat landscape. Studying 30,458 security incidents and 10,626 confirmed breaches, the report saw a huge jump in vulnerability exploitations versus the prior year. Fourteen percent of all breaches involved the exploitation of vulnerabilities with Verizon assigning responsibility for this to the targeting of unpatched systems and zero day vulnerabilities. Verizon noted threat actors used MOVEit and other zero day exploits to launch their ransom demands.
