Assess Yourself Against Key Verizon 2016 DBIR Findings

Defend against today’s biggest IT security risks.

Each year, Verizon releases the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) to provide key insights into how to manage risks and avoid security failings, as well as to help organizations of all sizes learn from the experiences of others.

Assessing Against DBIR Findings Is Challenging

It is a good security practice to regularly assess yourself against DBIR findings and recommendations. IT and business executives often want to know if their organizations are at risk based on DBIR findings. However, in order for the reports to be useful, organizations must first gather the essential data from their environments and iteratively search and filter that information so it can be compared against the DBIR findings. This can be difficult and often requires specialized knowledge.
