Security threats are constantly evolving, but as Verizon’s latest DBIR (Data Breach Investigations Report) shows, the more things change in information security, the more they stay the same.
More than half (51 percent) of the data breaches analyzed in the report involved malware, 73 percent of the breaches were financially motivated, and 75 percent of security incidents were tracked back to outside actors. This year’s report found that email was the No. 1 malware delivery vector, compared to last year, when it was web drive-by-download attacks.
