The 2026 Verizon DBIR is here — and one finding changes the conversation around cyber risk.For years, the industry has focused on identity as the primary attack surface. But according to the latest Data Breach Investigations Report, vulnerability exploitation has now overtaken credential abuse as the most common initial access vector in breaches.In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, Tyler Moffitt breaks down what the report really means for defenders, MSPs, and SMBs. He explores why attackers are moving faster than patch cycles, how AI is accelerating both exploitation and phishing, and why “identity vs. patching” is the wrong debate.He also unpacks:Why vulnerability exploitation surged to the top attack vectorHow AI is compressing the timeline from disclosure to attackWhy ransomware still dominates breach outcomesThe growing role of third-party and supply-chain riskWhy SMBs struggle most with patch management and visibilityPractical steps organizations should prioritize right nowWhat MSPs should be telling customers after this year's DBIRKey takeaway:“Identity is the new perimeter, but vulnerability management is still the unlocked window.”If you work in cybersecurity, IT, risk management, or support SMB environments, this episode delivers practical insight into where attackers are succeeding — and what organizations need to do next.#CyberSecurity #DBIR #Ransomware #PatchManagement #IdentitySecurity #AI #MSP #CyberRisk #VerizonDBIR #InfosecAs featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcasts  Top 50 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts Top 70 Security Hacking PodcastsThis list is the most comprehensive ranking of Cyber Security Podcasts online and we are honoured to feature amongst the best!Follow or subscribe to the show on your preferred podcast platform.Share the show with others in the cybersecurity world.Get in touch via reimaginingcyber@gmail.com

⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥ The most dangerous sentence in cybersecurity disclosure right now is "no evidence of unauthorized access to our network." It is technically true. It is also operationally hollow. The customer whose data is on a leak site does not care which network it left from. The plaintiff in Bexar County does not care. The regulator about to receive a federal incident report under a 72-hour clock that starts at suspicion, not confirmation, will not care. In April 2026, two U.S. banks disclosed an incident at the same unnamed third-party vendor. Six class action lawsuits followed in two weeks. The vendor still has not been publicly named. The plaintiffs sued the banks anyway. In a separate situation, an alleged Adobe breach surfaced through a threat actor's claims about a third-party business process outsourcing firm -- and as of the coverage reviewed for this analysis, no public confirmation or denial from Adobe had surfaced. This is the Common Point of Failure pattern, and it is arriving with enough frequency that it deserves to be named clearly.

The human-speed defense of small business is being obliterated by the machine-speed offense of AI-driven cybercrime. Today, what large companies treat as a manageable risk is a terminal expense for small enterprises, with 60% of small enterprises shutting down within six months of a major attack. As AI-crafted phishing lures achieve a 54% click-through rate, traditional “awareness” training has become a shallow defense against an automated tide. We are at a strategic crossroads: do we outsource our security to Big Tech, wait for the government to mandate a minimum level of security, or return to the “radical collaboration” that built the Internet itself? Can we bake immunity directly into the Internet’s plumbing before the 400 million small businesses that form our economic backbone become mere collateral damage? Join us for a conversation with Brian Cute, the CEO of the Global Cyber Alliance. A veteran of Internet governance, he has held leadership roles at ICANN and the Public Interest Registry (the .org registry). He now leads The Global Cyber Alliance’s mission to deliver practical and effective tools to those most at risk in a fractured digital landscape. Hosted by: Alexa Raad and Leslie Daigle.

Third-party risk is no longer a background concern for healthcare organizations -- it is a frontline challenge. Jason Kor, Principal at HITRUST, works on the company's third-party risk management team, helping enterprises understand the security risk embedded in their supply chains. The numbers tell a stark story: according to Security Scorecard, 99% of the world's 2,000 largest companies are actively connected to a vendor that has experienced a breach in the past 18 months. And Verizon's Data Breach Investigations Report shows that the share of breaches tied to a third party has doubled year over year. HITRUST exists precisely to help organizations move from awareness to action. HITRUST will be at HIMSS 2026 in Las Vegas, March 9-12, at Booth 11307. Stop playing whack-a-mole with vendor risk -- step into the VR challenge and win prizes. For organizations already holding a HITRUST certification, the team has something else waiting: a trophy recognizing the commitment to independent, external audits and rigorous security standards. For those exploring certification for the first time, the booth is a chance to understand how HITRUST compares to alternatives like SOC 2 questionnaires -- and why scalability and risk reduction make it the stronger choice for supply chain assurance. Kor puts it plainly: the audits are time-consuming and expensive because they are effective. And at the end of the process, someone reads that report and makes real business decisions based on what it contains. Two major themes converge at this year's event: supply chain risk and AI. HITRUST has already launched an AI security assessment offering, and new CSF releases are on the horizon, including a report center feature enabling online review of assessments for anti-fraud and continuous monitoring purposes. On Tuesday, March 10, 2026, from 11:10 AM to 11:30 AM, Kor will deliver a 20-minute session titled "Understanding AI Security Risk -- The New Blind Spot in TPRM and Supply Chain Resilience." The session addresses a rapidly evolving challenge: as organizations build their own generative AI tooling -- or work with third parties that have integrated AI into their products -- questions around data sovereignty, input handling, and model provenance become critical, especially in healthcare where electronic health information is at stake. Also on the HIMSS 2026 agenda from HITRUST: Ryan Patrick, Executive Vice President of TPRM Customer Solutions, joins John P. Houston of UPMC and Chuck Christian of Franciscan Health for a Brunch Briefing titled "Building Secure, Compliant, and Resilient Healthcare Systems Together" on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, from 10:30 AM to 11:45 AM at Level 1, Casanova 505. The session offers practical strategies, frameworks, and real-world lessons for organizations looking to reduce risk, enhance protection, and advance trust in an evolving threat and regulatory landscape.

Over the past two decades, the browser has evolved from a simple web rendering engine to the primary gateway through which users interact with the internet, be it for work, leisure or transactions. In other words, browsers are becoming the new endpoint. Yet, despite the exponential growth of browser-native attacks, traditional security solutions continue to focus on endpoint and network, leaving a large gaping hole when it comes to browser security. SquareX has started the Year of Browser Bugs (YOBB), a yearlong initiative to draw attention to the lack of security research and rigor in what remains one of the most understudied attack vectors - the browser.

Qasim Ijaz Qasim Ijaz is the director of cybersecurity at a leading healthcare organization, overseeing detection, incident response, vulnerability management, purple teaming, and cybersecurity engineering. With a strong background in offensive security and risk management, he has helped organizations strengthen their defenses against evolving threats. He is also a dedicated educator, mentoring professionals and sharing his expertise at conferences such as BSides and Black Hat. You don't need to go far in the news these days to find out that another organization was hacked. Data breeches are a nightmare scenario for both leaders and the people they support. In this episode, Qasim and I explore what your team and you can do to be a bit more prepared. Key Points Use multi-factor authentication, passphrases, and a password manager. Freeze your personal credit reports. Do this for free directly with Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. Leaders in bigger roles (executives, CEOs, board members) are larger targets for hackers due to their access and also their ability to occasionally side-step organizational guidelines. It's the non-technical pieces of a cyber response that organizations are least prepared for. Conduct incident response and disaster recovery tabletop exercises to uncover vulnerabilities before an attack. Regardless of organizational policy, employees will use AI. The best prevention assumes the inevitability of human behavior and works with it to improve systems.

Drawing on Ryan's extensive experience, they delve into actionable strategies for producers to engage clients on cyber risk, overcome objections, and build meaningful solutions that go beyond the policy. Key Points: The Intersection of Cybersecurity and Insurance Ryan highlights how cybersecurity and cyber liability are complementary solutions addressing the same problem: mitigating and transferring cyber risk. Understanding both perspectives helps producers connect the dots and provide more value to clients. Education Over Fear The conversation emphasizes the importance of educating clients about their cyber risks without resorting to fear-based selling. Producers are encouraged to focus on business impacts rather than technical vulnerabilities, fostering a consultative approach. Assessing Risk and Incident Preparedness Ryan shares insights on helping clients assess their cyber risks and prepare for incidents. He stresses the importance of asking key questions about incident response plans, compliance requirements, and the company's readiness for cyber threats. Shifting Client Mindsets The discussion tackles common objections, such as overconfidence in IT departments or the belief that “it won't happen to us.” Ryan suggests producers approach these scenarios with empathy and education, aligning solutions with clients' business priorities. Valuable Resources for Producers Ryan points to trusted industry reports, such as Verizon's Data Breach Investigations Report and IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report, as tools to support client conversations and reinforce the importance of proactive cyber risk management.

On this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast we take a close look at the 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report.The Verizon 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) provides a comprehensive analysis of the current cybersecurity landscape, highlighting significant trends and emerging threats. This year's report, the 17th edition, examines 30,458 security incidents and 10,626 confirmed breaches, marking a two-fold increase from the previous year. A key finding is the dramatic surge in vulnerability exploitation, which nearly tripled, driven by attacks on unpatched systems and zero-day vulnerabilities. Ransomware and extortion continue to be major threats, comprising 32% of breaches, with a notable rise in pure extortion attacks where data is stolen but not encrypted​​.The report also emphasizes the human element in cybersecurity breaches, with human errors contributing to 68% of incidents. Phishing remains a critical issue, with median times to click on malicious links and submit data being alarmingly short. Despite this, there is an encouraging increase in phishing awareness among users. Additionally, the report underscores the growing complexity of supply chain attacks, highlighting the vulnerabilities in third-party code and services. Interestingly, the impact of generative AI in cyberattacks remains minimal, with most uses being experimental rather than operational. The DBIR concludes with a call for improved vulnerability management and continued focus on human-centric security measures​.You can download the full report here.

Guest post by Cillian McCarthy, CEO, Vault365 In an evolving digital landscape, organisations are increasingly vulnerable to cyber risks that threaten their critical data. The acceleration of AI, coupled with the growing sophistication of cyberattacks, means that organisations without an effective backup and disaster recovery plan in place run a heightened risk of their data being compromised. According to PwC's 2024 Digital Trust Insights survey, just 42% of Irish-based respondents said that they understand the cyber risks posed by emerging technologies. Disaster recovery needs to be a core business objective for organisations of all sizes in the digital age, with information including confidential customer data, financial records, and employee data more accessible than ever before. Building blocks for data backup There are key building blocks that all disaster recovery plans should include. Risk assessment is the foundation of any strategy and is vital to understand where the gaps are in order to allocate necessary resources. It can also help to optimise the measures already in place. The cornerstone of an effective plan is secure data backup, and backup efforts should be concentrated on ensuring business continuity in the event of a disaster, and focused on developing contingency plans for the continuity of business operations. However, it's not enough to just have a backup plan in place. Any plan must be laid block-by-block to each organisation's specific needs and tested regularly to ensure maximum effectiveness. Furthermore, communication is key - employees right across the organisation must be aware of the protocols and understand that time is of the essence should a breach occur. Crucially, it's not just external threats that organisations need to protect their data against. Human error is a top cause of cyber breaches and, therefore, employees (whether acting maliciously or otherwise) pose a significant risk to organisational data. In fact, Verizon's recent Data Breach Investigations Report 2023 found that 74% of all security breaches include a human element. This is where cybersecurity awareness training comes into play and can support disaster preparedness. It's crucial that this training is delivered regularly to employees and kept up-to-date as cyber threats continue to evolve. Head in the cloud A backup of your cloud data is now also an indispensable tool for data protection and security in the current business landscape. The cloud is flexible, almost infinitely scalable, and provides seamless accessibility from anywhere (which is particularly important for dispersed workforces). In addition, it enables secure remote data deletion and recovery in the event of a data breach or if a business is concerned about unauthorised access. The cloud can also aid enhanced regulatory compliance for organisations. Recent CSO figures show that in 2023, 42% of Irish enterprises used cloud computing services to store files. Implementing a robust back up and disaster recovery plan isn't a once-off task, but an ongoing process that requires continuous assessment and improvement as business needs evolve. Not only can a successful cyber breach result in data loss or business downtime - it can also cause irreparable financial and reputational damage. Data is the lifeblood of organisations, and this invaluable asset demands robust protection against modern threats. See more stories here.

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. According to Verizon's 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report, 74 percent of all security breaches include a human element. That's why Wasatch Security Awareness was created — to provide cybersecurity training to businesses and their employees. Founder Matt Groves joins us with more. Matt Groves: Your company's employees are both the biggest target and the best defense against a cyber attack. At Wasatch Security Awareness, we are determined to educate your end users to become smarter than the digital threats they will inevitably face. When we work with businesses, we use a simple training process to ensure each organization gets the personalized education they need. First, we collaborate with management to create a human intelligence training plan. We then test employees with a customized “spear phishing” email that mimics techniques used by cybercriminals. Based on the test's results, Wasatch Security Awareness provides customized training to help businesses become more secure. On average, 24 percent of employees click a link inside their first spear fishing test, and 19 percent enter a username and password. But with training and practice, we can help your employees be your company's first defense against cybercriminals. Derek Miller: Whether you're a small, local business or a large corporation, your employees can benefit from cybersecurity training. Visit the Wasatch Security Awareness website for more information.
