State of Quality Report 2018

Read the State of Cybersecurity Report 2018 to gain insights into the macro, micro and meso environments of global cybersecurity ecosystem.

The year 2017 saw a seismic shift in terms of the magnitude of breaches, sophistication of DDoS attacks and distribution of ransomware payloads. Through 2018 edition of the State of Cybersecurity report, we investigated information security landscape globally by raising some pertinent questions. Some of the questions and related viewpoints that the reader would encounter in the report include:

How is the distribution of breaches spread across different industry verticals?
How weapons of cyber destruction are getting more sophisticated with widespread availability?
How countries around the globe are strengthening their breach notification and cross-border transfer regulations?
How enterprises around the globe are tightening their cyber defenses?
How security management and governance of organizations is faring?
How ready are businesses to collaborate with their competitors when it comes to cyber security?
What future opportunities can be envisaged in the security automation space?

The State of Cybersecurity Report 2018 deep dives into the following sections.

State of Attacks, Breaches and Laws

State of Defense Mechanisms

State of Collaboration

Future of Cybersecurity

This section illustrates the research around the major breaches that occurred during 2017 and analyzes the profile of data elements that hackers were after. Section 1 follows up on the attack analysis, with the research findings on the Weapons of Cyber Destruction from our Cyber Defense Centers (CDC) around the globe. The section also includes a contribution from a partner on active APT groups of 2017. This section further analyzes the vulnerability trends of security products and the implications of changing and stringent breach notification regulations.

This section is borne out of the primary research carried out by Wipro with 203 customers across North America, Europe, APAC, Middle East and South Asia as well as thought leadership content from partners and the practice. The primary research was carried out by direct interviews and an online survey with key stakeholders such as the CISO or executives from the CISO organization. The research focused on the current state of defense mechanisms around end points, network, applications, cloud, IOT environments and the use of security monitoring controls. This year we have also added a sub-section on security governance covering security budgets, metrics and privacy governance.

This section is based on the primary research carried out with the CISO organization and focuses on the readiness of the security organizations to collaborate with the external cybersecurity ecosystem to better manage the risk. The collaboration would typically be with regulatory bodies, CERTs and also with competitors in the same business market.

The last section focuses on the future and is largely based on secondary research and viewpoints evolved from within the Cybersecurity practice and partners. The topics covered range from quantum cryptography, blockchain and security and security automation for the future.
