Today is International Computer Security Day—a reminder that cyber resilience isn’t a one-time achievement but an ongoing journey. Safeguarding our digital ecosystems requires continuous awareness, collaboration, and a proactive approach to counter evolving threats. 🔍 A Rapidly Changing Threat Landscape 2023 brought with it a stark 60% increase in interactive intrusion campaigns, with a staggering 73% jump in the latter half of the year alone. The speed of these attacks is alarming: On average, cybercriminals now take just 62 minutes to break through defenses—down from 84 minutes in 2022. The fastest breach time recorded? An astonishing 2 minutes and 7 seconds. ☁️ Cloud Under Siege With organizations racing to move to the cloud, cybercriminals are following suit. Intrusions in cloud environments surged by 75%, as cyber-actors crafted sophisticated attacks aimed at cloud-conscious and cloud-agnostic targets alike. 🚨 Ransomware, Trojans, and Information Theft The three most pervasive threats remain information stealers, Trojans, and ransomware, with monthly blocks in the hundreds of millions. The sheer volume highlights how essential robust defenses are for safeguarding sensitive data. 🏛️ Cyber as a Board-Level Priority More than ever, cybersecurity is moving from IT to the boardroom. 70% of board members now regularly discuss cyber issues, recognizing the profound impact of cybersecurity on business continuity. And while 77% of executives say they’re confident in addressing risks like generative AI, over 90% of leaders agree that urgent action is needed, particularly as small to mid-sized enterprises struggle to meet resilience standards. 🔗 The Supply Chain Conundrum Amid all these challenges, 54% of organizations admit to an insufficient grasp of cyber vulnerabilities in their supply chain—a risk that grows as digital interconnectivity expands. At Brimit, we create custom IoT solutions and work with Salesforce, Sitecore, and Microsoft 365 technologies. Let’s examine how these tech giants deal with cybersecurity challenges as they evolve. #Cybersecurity #DataProtection #DigitalTransformation #Salesforce #Sitecore #Microsoft365
