  • The expanding role of the CISO
  • Organizations reassess security strategies and tech stacks
  • Security talent acquisition: Demand goes up

SKYBOX Security has come out with a mid-year update to the 2020 Vulnerability and Threat Trends Report. This report has been created to give CISOs and security leaders the perspective needed to see what’s shaping the threat in the information & network security landscape and, in turn, their defense strategies as they navigate the COVID-19 crisis.

Key findings of the report include:

  • 2020 vulnerability reports will likely hit 20,000 – a new record
  • New ransomware and trojan samples have soared during the pandemic
  • OT security advisories have increased, underscoring the need for greater protection at a time of increased nation-state and criminal threats
  • Mobile and browser-based vulnerabilities have grown in volume, adding new complexities for security teams as they deal with overlapping personal and corporate networks
