Industry Top Performerss in Cybersecurity
10 Most Profitable Companies in Financial Industry Goldman Sachs Morgan Stanley JPMorgan Chase Merrill Lynch Deutsche Bank Citi Barclays UBS HSBC Nomura How about their cybersecurity score? Are they also performing well on security? However, only 10% of them received a grade of A. Companies that generate the most revenue, how are they performing on cybersecurity?
10 Most Profitable Companies in Financial Industry More findings... 8 out of 10 companies: received a grade of F in Network Security 5 out of 10 companies: received an F in Patching Cadence All of these companies had malware issues, and received B or less in IP Reputation For companies that generate the most revenue, how are they performing on cybersecurity?
Weaknesses Across Bottom Performers in Finance Network Security 80% F, 10% D, 10% C Social Engineering 60% F, 20% C IP Reputation (Malware) 50% F, 20% D
How about other companies in Financial industry? IP Reputation Score 52% C or worse Network Security Score 45% D or worse Patching Cadence Score 27% C or worse
Critical Data Point : Malware Infection spikes are a strong leading breach indicator Companies with a D or F in IP reputation are 3x more likely to get breached To calculate the 3X, we used the IP Rep scores for all companies as of early March, and combined it with our historical breach dataset for the last six months (Sep '15 through March ‘16).
What types of malware are prevalent in data breaches? Data Source: malware_details_non_breached.csv
Critical Data Point: Leaked Passwords as a Trailing Breach Indicator WHAT’S AT RISK Access to confidential company resources Corporate infrastructure
Critical Data Point: Social Engineering WHAT’S AT RISK Increased ‘insider’ security incidents Open to spear phishing campaigns Number of “security” employees Number of “disgruntled” employees Indicators of security immaturity MEASURING
Critical Data Point : End-of-life Product Issue SecurityScorecard analyzed 39078 companies, and discovered nearly 3700 companies have experienced end-of-service product issues.
Critical Data Point: End of Life Products Most end of life issues were prevalent in Education, Goverment & Telecom industries. WHAT’S AT RISK Legacy systems Unsupported software with critical vulnerabilities blue = with end-of-life issue, orange = without end-of-life issue
Most Prevalent End of Life Products 5 most widely used, unsupported technologies are: Internet Information Services 6.0 Internet Information Services 5.1 Windows XP Windows Server 2003 S5000 Series Switches S5624-PWR
End of Life Products More Common in Large Organizations Products no longer supported by the manufacturer are rampant in companies with: 1001 – 5000 employees 10,000+ employees
HOW YOUR ENTERPRISE BENEFITS FROM REALTIME VISIBLITY? Onboard vendors faster to meet requirements of the business Prioritize and validate vendor questionnaires, onsite visits, and penetration tests Receive immediate notifications of vendor security degradation Work with 3rd parties using collaborative workflows to remediate issues and improve security posture Expand third party programs without additional staff, questionnaires, or penetration tests
