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 2019 Malware and Threat Report shows that cybercriminals have ramped up their attack volumes sharply-- especially those involving phishing attempts, ransomware, and business email compromise (BEC). The constant pummeling is putting new strain on risk assessment and threat response processes in many organizations.

This report based on our 2019 survey reveals a high level of concern over several new and emerging threats, including attacks on cloud service providers, BEC scams, and attacks that use artificial intelligence techniques. For many organizations, risk assessment and response prioritization continue to be major challenges, and respondents are becoming frustrated by their vulnerability to human errors and negligence. Find out more by reading the report today.

In recent years, enterprises have responded to a growing volume of sophisticated cyber-attacks by building security operations centers (SOCs) and incident response programs. Faced with this growing number of exploits, a shortage of trained workers, and the growing sophistication of online attackers, security operations teams were under enormous pressure at the outset of 2020.

In March, however, these challenges were compounded when the coronavirus pandemic focused most organizations to turn desktop-oriented IT environments into remote, work-from-home, and mobile environments

In this in-depth report, Dark Reading and Omdia Research present the results of a detailed survey of SOC staff, incident response teams, and other IT security professionals. This report provides unique data on the activities, attitudes, and concerns of security operations teams, including insights on what's working -- and what isn't -- in the SOC.

COVID-19 upended the security world in 2020. With employees moving to remote home offices, organizations were forced to enhance their endpoint security, while many were facing tighter budgets amid a pandemic-ailing economy. This new normal also emboldened cybercriminals to pivot their attacks to remote workers, targeting virtual private networks and collaboration platforms such as Zoom, and waves of coronavirus-related spam and phishing lures.

Shadow IT was difficult enough. The addition of Internet of Things to the enterprise network introduces even more issues because security teams can't inspect and manage the devices. Enterprise defenders need a sound IoT security strategy that addresses asset discovery and management, consistent security policies, and automation.

The report also looks at:

• How attackers are targeting IoT
• How BlackBerry is reinventing itself for IoT security
• How 5G LANs are changing IoT landscape

Enterprise organizations will face a combination of traditional and nontraditional cyber threats in 2020. Many of the threats that plagued organizations in the past will remain potent. But attackers leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools will give IT security professionals plenty of new challenges to deal with in 2020 and the years ahead.
