Verizon—Data Breach Investigations Report

Many breaches start in unspectacular ways: a reused password, an account without MFA, or poorly protected remote access.

Verizon DBIR reports have been showing the weight of credentials, phishing and the human factor in real incidents for years.

What does it mean for direction

It is not just a problem of the technical department. If an account with high permissions goes down, there can be data theft, operational downtime, legal impact, and reputational damage.

What a company can review

  • Inventory of assets, exposed services and critical suppliers.
  • Multi-factor authentication, passwords and privileged access.
  • Backups, tested restore and segmentation.
  • Record of events, alerts, evidence and response plan.
  • Internal communication and legal obligations in the event of a data breach.
