We’re delighted to have contributed to Verizon’s newly released Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), featuring contributions from F-Secure and other key players in the cyber security space. This collaboration helps businesses worldwide stay ahead of evolving cyber security threats and contributes to a safer cyber ecosystem for all.
"Verizon's report is an excellent example of how cross-company collaboration is vital for a holistic understanding of the scale and nature of problems that affect companies and individuals worldwide," says Laura Kankaala, Head of Threat Intelligence at F-Secure.
"Each individual company and organization has a laser sharp focus on their problem area—and when data points from different stakeholders are collected and put together, we all win. We are proud to be a contributor to Verizon's Data Breach Investigations Report. No one can solve all cyber security problems alone—the future of cyber security is built on working together."
The findings from the DBIR highlight several critical trends featuring statistics from real-world breaches:
Spotlight on vulnerabilities: The DBIR turns assumptions into hard numbers. System intrusion now drives drives 53% of breaches, with the human element present in 60%, and third-party involvement doubling year-on-year.
Sector-specific insights: Data is broken down individually for five industries, helping CISOs direct resources where they count.
Action-ready mapping: Breaking down the who, what, and why of attacks, and translating these trends into control gaps that can be closed this quarter.
Elevating Collective Defense
The DBIR underscores F-Secure's role as a trusted intelligence partner. By combining its telemetry with data from other leading organizations, the report delivers a sharper, community-wide view of adversary behavior, helping defenders stay one step ahead.
