We are pleased to continue to help contribute our extensive experience in cybersecurity matters in 2017 toward actionable real-world prevention to help organizations protect themselves from cyber incidents and data breach,” said Greg Kelley, EnCE DFCP and Chief Technology Officer at Vestige Digital Investigations.

The report’s data set combines data from public and private organizations around the world, including law enforcement agencies, national incident-reporting entities, research institutions, private security firms and Verizon. Before being analyzed, the case studies, reports and interviews are standardized using the Vocabulary for Event Recording and Incident Sharing (VERIS) Framework. Each year, Verizon seeks to increase the size of its data set by incorporating data from more contributors.
