The report emphasizes the need for correct configuration and management of cybersecurity tools, as 30% of incidents involved misconfigured antivirus solutions, which facilitated unauthorized access. It underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and response, noting that organizations using the CrowdStrike FalconĀ® Complete managed service reduced their response time significantly. Additionally, the report identifies key themes such as the impact of widespread remote work on cybersecurity, the evolution of ransomware tactics, the necessity of focused cloud defense due to increased digital transformation, and the ongoing threat posed by state-sponsored adversaries.
