The Year of the Mega Breach

IBM X-Force knows the difficulties organizations face when it comes to finding time to step back from day-to-day operations to look at the big security picture. Because of this, they may be left with many unanswered questions, such as:

• What cybercrime trends have surfaced over the last year?
• What are the most prevalent mechanisms of attack and what steps do we need to take to mitigate those attacks?
• Is my industry one of the most targeted in terms of attacks, and is there something to learn from those that have experienced fewer compromises?
• Are the majority of attacks coming from inside or outside my network? Is the makeup of the insider attacks mostly malicious or inadvertent?
