Another year has passed and that means another Verizon DBIR. For those that don’t want to read the full DBIR, here was our perspective from the Internet intelligence side of cybersecurity:

  • Median time for users to fall for phishing emails is 49 seconds
  • Pretexting is a more likely social action than Phishing
  • Ransomware was a top threat across 92% of industries (less representative than last year - median ratio of initially requested ransom and company revenue was only 1.34%)
  • The human element was a component of 68% of breaches


What do these threats all have in common? DNS!
