2024 Data Breach Investigations Report: Most breaches involve a non-malicious human element

The Verizon 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report shows a surge in cyberattacks, driven by exploit of vulnerabilities in unpatched systems and devices, with the MOVEit software breach as a major factor. It takes organisations 55 days on average to remediate 50% of critical vulnerabilities after patches become available. Human error remains the main entry point for cybercriminals, but increasing self-reporting sheds light on the importance of cybersecurity awareness.
