Verizon’s 2022 Data Breach Report — Insights for Cloud Security Professionals

https://ermetic.com/blog/cloud/verizons-2022-data-breach-report-insights-for-cloud-security-professionals/

I owe this report to Alexandre BLANC Cyber Security’s Newletter https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alexandre-blanc-cyber-security-88569022_verizon-notifies-prepaid-customers-their-activity-6988213191633707009-DuFQ

It reads “Credentials — The #1 Organizational Security Weakness as “Key Findings for Cloud Security Professionals”.

Out of 4,250 data breaches Verizon analyzed, approximately:

- 50% were enabled through credentials

This finding reconfirms how crucial it is to make the credentials less vulnerable to compromise.

A valid solution to this problem exists but is still little known to the people to whom it must be known, presumably for the reasons examined here — “What Separates Who Needs from Who Provides” https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hitoshikokumai_apples-killing-the-password-heres-everything-activity-6973461696308805632-3Cni
