The growth in the number of devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) has set the stage for malicious actors to come after
high-value information on a global scale, according to findings from
Verizon’s latest look at data breaches.
The 2016 Data Breach Investigations Report outlines some troubling trends that haven’t necessarily evolved, but have certainly gotten more dangerous to our tech-centric way of life.
By studying the patterns and tactics used to inflict damage in the cyber-realm across myriad industries, Jonathan Nguyen-Guy, CIO of Global Security Solutions with Verizon Enterprise Solutions, said researchers have been able to effectively reconstruct the hacker “playbook” and what is happening in “the wild.”
This year’s report — the ninth such study by Verizon — is based on more than 100,000 incidents and 3,141 confirmed data breaches. Of this larger data set, analysts evaluated more than 64,000 incidents and 2,260 breaches.
