Ecr Statistics

The Ecr stats page stacks today’s security momentum side by side with what it costs, from zero trust growth to the reality that ransomware used data exfiltration in 80% of analyzed incidents and average breach dwell time ran 74 days. You also get the sharp edge of identity and cloud risk, with identity related threats behind 92% of incidents and cloud misconfiguration flagged by 27% of organizations as their top cloud security concern.
