Source: Verizon DBIR [1] In last year’s DBIR report [2], SocialEngineering and Basic Web Application Attacks accounted for over 50% of all cybersecurity data breach events, with Denial of Service being the number one cybersecurity incident covering almost 50% of all events. For example, DDoS attacks and unauthorized encryption (e.g.
In their 2021 report, SocialEngineering and Basic Web Application Attacks accounted for over 50% of all breach events. This time around, if you thought ransomware and phishing should have been at the top (these fall under System Intrusion and SocialEngineering ) you would have been right! We used that as our baseline.
