Today, Verizon released the 2022 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), analyzing over 5,212 breaches and 23,896 security incidents.
The report highlights that attackers have four key paths to enterprise estates; credentials, phishing, exploiting vulnerabilities, and malicious botnets.
Hackers can use any of these entry points to gain access to a protected network and launch an assault. Generally, they’ll do this by exploiting the human element (including errors, miuse, and social engineering), which accounted for 82% of intrusions this year.
