• Despite significant investments
in prevention solutions, malware
and ransomware continue to top
the list of attacks that concern de-
fenders, increasing 5 percent to 66
percent from last year.
• This result indicates that anti-virus,
firewalls, , and other prevention
technologies still struggle to de-
tect and stop attacks and that dif-
ferent detection solutions and/or
organizations need more layers of
defense to halt these attacks.
• Three in four respondents are using
some form of security framework,
with the majority of respondents
(45 percent) using the NIST
Cybersecurity Framework, followed
by the ISO 27000 family
of standards (37 percent).
• Security professionals rely on these
frameworks to help them clearly
define policies, procedures, and
processes to help reduce risk and
exposure to vulnerabilities.
“Much of this year’s research indicates
a continued demand for
in-network detection that works reliably
across existing and emerging
attack surfaces and is effective
against all attack vectors,” explains
Carolyn Crandall, Chief Deception
Officer at Attivo Networks.
