Software is becoming ever more sophisticated and powerful. Its advance and innovation can be tied directly to the proliferation of open source. As more open source components find their way into published software, it is critical that known security vulnerabilities within the software are uncovered and patched. Failure to do so will either significantly increase the number and cost of attacks or impair the adoption of new technologies powered by the software.

A poll by Healthcare Ready showed that Americans fear natural disasters more than terrorism, global pandemic or a cyberattack, combined.

More than 90% of large US companies with 500+ employees have a cybersecurity policy in place to protect them from both real and anticipated threats.

The elevation will also separate Cyber Command and the NSA, so the two could work independently of each other. 

The Cisco® 2017 Midyear Cybersecurity Report (MCR) uncovers the rapid evolution of threats and the increasing magnitude of attacks, and forecasts potential “destruction of service” (DeOS) attacks.

Global insurer Lloyd’s of London warned that a serious cyberattack could cost the global economy more than $120 billion.

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against business, government, industry as well as military and intelligence systems continue as strong as ever.

In theory, responding to a data breach should be straightforward.

The NIST Cybersecurity Frame-work focuses twice on the concept of improvement, doing so within both the Respond and the Recover functions.
