Despite the escalation of cybersecurity staffing and technology, enterprises continue to suffer data breaches and compromises at an alarming rate. How do these breaches occur? How are enterprises responding, and what is the impact of these compromises on the business? This report, one of three to come out of Dark Reading's annual Strategic Security Survey, offers new data on the frequency of data breaches, the losses they cause, and the steps that organizations are taking to prevent them in the future.

Dark Reading's 2018 Strategic Security Survey of 300 IT and security professionals indicates that a majority of organizations are struggling to implement a risk-based approach to security — even though risk reduction has become the primary metric for measuring the effectiveness of enterprise security strategies.

In 2016, enterprises encountered a range of new exploits and threats -- including ransomware and state-sponsored attacks -- and developed new plans of defense. How will these organizations be investing their cybersecurity budgets and staffing in the next 12 months? What tools and best practices do they consider most important, and which emerging technologies are they implementing?

This report, one of three to come out of Dark Reading's annual Strategic Security Survey, offers insight on how security professionals plan to invest in cybersecurity, and how they are prioritizing their resources.

Dark Reading's 2018 Strategic Security Survey of 300 IT and security professional shows that a majority of organizations are continuing to increase spending on security products and technologies. Data breach fears and the need to comply with regulations such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation are two major drivers of the spending. But other factors — such as increased threat sophistication and concerns over a broadening attack surface — are contributing to the trend as well.

Today's enterprises are writing, buying, and deploying more web applications than at any point in the history of computing. With the rapid growth of cloud services and mobile technology, applications are available everywhere -- sometimes outside of the traditional IT infrastructure. This evolution has taken place so rapidly that many IT organizations are having trouble keeping up. This often leads to "out-of-sync" security, technology, and application development groups - and ultimately increases the risk to the organization. Our survey examined some of the most common challenges associated with securing the applications that enterprises use every day - those that are developed internally, and those that are purchased via the web or off the shelf.

Online attackers are constantly developing new, innovative ways to break into the enterprise. This Dark Reading Tech Digest gives an in-depth look at five emerging attack trends and exploits your security team should look out for, along with helpful recommendations on how you can prevent your organization from falling victim.
