2022’s DBIR also highlighted the far-reaching impact of supply-chain breaches and how organizations and their employees are the reasons why incidents occur.

Report: Cloud Security Breaches Surpass On-Prem Ones for the First Time Verizon’s annual report on data breaches finds that more cybersecurity incidents involved external cloud assets than internal ones.
Most cybersecurity incidents now involve cloud infrastructure, according to the latest Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR).
The annual report is the most researched of its kind. This year’s report is based on more than 79,000 cybersecurity incidents and over 5,200 breaches. Last year’s report analyzed around 4,000 breaches, and 2019 s report included 2,000.
The big news this year was that 73 percent of the cybersecurity incidents involved external cloud assets, with the rest involving on-premises IT assets. Last year, cloud assets were only involved in 27 percent of breaches.

For the first time since the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report began tracking cyberattack techniques, threat patterns affecting small and medium businesses began to closely align with the patterns affecting large firms.
This year, 80% of breaches in SMBs and 74% of breaches in large businesses were born of system intrusion, basic web application attacks, and miscellaneous errors (like distributing a file unintentionally), according to the 2020 Verizon DBIR released Thursday. External hackers comprised 57% of SMB and 64% of large business incidents.
