SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Proofpoint, Inc., a leading cybersecurity and compliance company, today unveiled its annual Human Factor report, which provides a comprehensive examination of the three main facets of user risk—vulnerability, attacks, and privilege—and how threat actors continue their ceaseless creativity as they exploit the many opportunities presented by people.
The Human Factor 2022 report dives deep into user risk, drawing on data and insight from a year’s worth of research, covering threats detected, mitigated, and resolved across one of the largest datasets in cybersecurity.
“One constant that remains as organizations approach a sense of normalcy after a disruptive year is that cyber criminals continue to target and exploit people,” said Ryan Kalember, EVP of cybersecurity strategy, Proofpoint. “Last year, attackers demonstrated just how unscrupulous they really are, making protecting people from cyber threats an ongoing—and often eye-opening—challenge for organizations.”
The report draws from a multitrillion-datapoint graph, one of the largest data sets in cybersecurity. Every day, Proofpoint analyzes more than 2.6 billion email messages, 49 billion URLs, 1.9 billion attachments, 28.2 million cloud accounts, 1.7 billion mobile messages and more. This report analyzes data collected throughout 2021 and sheds light on the nature of today’s cyber threats, while offering actionable insight on how to protect employees against them.
