Verizon Business released its 17th annual Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) analyzing 8,302 security incidents in EMEA, with 6,005 confirmed breaches. 49% of breaches in EMEA are internal. Most breaches globally involve non-malicious human actions. Zero-day vulnerabilities are a persistent threat. Organizations take an average of 55 days to patch 50% of critical vulnerabilities. AI adoption is less concerning than failure to patch basic vulnerabilities. 32% of breaches involve extortion techniques, and stolen credentials appear in 31% of breaches over the past decade.
Verizon Business ha pubblicato il suo 17° rapporto annuale sulle Indagini di Violazione dei Dati (DBIR), analizzando 8.302 incidenti di sicurezza nella regione EMEA, con 6.005 violazioni confermate. Il 49% delle violazioni in EMEA sono interne. La maggior parte delle violazioni a livello globale coinvolge azioni umane non malevoli. Le vulnerabilità zero-day rappresentano una minaccia costante. Le organizzazioni impiegano in media 55 giorni per correggere il 50% delle vulnerabilità critiche. L'adozione dell'IA è meno preoccupante rispetto al mancato aggiornamento delle vulnerabilità di base. Il 32% delle violazioni coinvolge tecniche di estorsione, e le credenziali rubate compaiono nel 31% delle violazioni nell'ultimo decennio.

Verizon 비즈니스는 EMEA에서 8,302건의 보안 사고를 분석한 제17회 연례 데이터 유출 조사 보고서(DBIR)를 발표했으며, 이 중 6,005건이 확인된 유출 사건입니다. EMEA에서의 유출 사건의 49%는 내부적인 것입니다. 전 세계적으로 대부분의 유출 사건은 악의적이지 않은 인간의 행동에 관련되어 있습니다. 제로데이 취약점은 지속적인 위협입니다. 조직은 중요 취약점의 50%를 패치하는 데 평균 55일이 걸립니다. AI 채택은 기본 취약점을 패치하지 못하는 것보다는 걱정이 적습니다. 유출 사건의 32%는 공갈 기법을 포함하며, 도난당한 자격증명은 지난 십년간 유출 사건의 31%에서 나타납니다.

What you need to know:
More than two-thirds (68%) of breaches globally involve a non-malicious human action.
Vulnerability exploitation experienced 180% growth vs 2023.
On average it took organisations about 55 days to patch 50% of their critical vulnerabilities.
LONDON, May 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verizon Business today released the results of its 17th annual Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), which analysed 8,302 security incidents in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), of which 6,005 (more than 72%) are confirmed breaches.
Virtually half of the breaches (49%) in EMEA are initiated internally, suggesting high incidences of privilege misuse and other human errors. Across EMEA, the top reasons for cybersecurity incidents are miscellaneous errors, system intrusion, and social engineering, which account for 87% of breaches. The most common types of data compromised are personal (64%), internal (33%), and credentials (20%).
The human element continues to be the front door for cybercriminals
Most breaches globally (68%), whether they include a third party or not, involve a non-malicious human action, which refers to a person making an error or falling prey to a social engineering attack. This percentage is about the same as last year. One potential countervailing force is the improvement of reporting practices: 20% of users identified and reported phishing in simulation engagements, and 11% of users who clicked the email also reported it.
“The persistence of the human element in breaches shows that organisations in EMEA must continue to combat this trend by prioritising training and raising awareness of cybersecurity best practices. However, the increase in self-reporting is promising and indicates a cultural shift in the importance of cybersecurity awareness among the general workforce,” said Sanjiv Gossain, EMEA Vice President, Verizon Business
Zero-day vulnerabilities remain a persistent threat to enterprises
Globally, the exploitation of vulnerabilities as an initial point of entry increased since last year, accounting for 14% of all breaches. This spike was driven primarily by the scope and growing frequency of zero-day exploits by ransomware actors, most notably the MOVEit breach, a widespread exploitation of a zero-day vulnerability.
“The exploitation of zero-day vulnerabilities by ransomware actors remains a persistent threat to enterprises, due in no small part to the interconnectedness of supply chains,” said Alistair Neil, EMEA Senior Director of Security, Verizon Business “Last year, 15% of breaches involved a third party, including data custodians, third-party software vulnerabilities, and other direct or indirect supply chain issues.”
Analysis of the Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Security Agency (CISA) Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalogue revealed that on average it takes organisations 55 days to remediate 50% of critical vulnerabilities following the availability of patches. Meanwhile, the median time for detecting the mass exploitations of the CISA KEV on the internet is five days.
As a possible relief to some anxieties, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) was less of a culprit vs challenges in large-scale vulnerability management. “While the adoption of artificial intelligence to gain access to valuable corporate assets is a concern on the horizon, a failure to patch basic vulnerabilities has threat actors not needing to rapidly advance their approach and focusing their use of AI on accelerating social engineering,” Chris Novak, Sr. Director of Cybersecurity Consulting, Verizon Business.
Additional key findings:
About 32% of all breaches involved some type of extortion technique, including ransomware.
Over the past two years, roughly a quarter (between 24% and 25%) of financially motivated incidents involved pretexting.
Over the past 10 years, the use of stolen credentials has appeared in almost one-third (31%) of all breaches.
