Even more concerning, 62% of what threat actors obtained through their successful phishing efforts were login credentials. Can your employees recognize a phishing email when they see one?
Phishing Simulation to Create Vigilant Employees
Abiding Solutions will help you address the risk posed by uninformed users. With the right testing and education, they can become a strong line of defense. When combined with learning reinforcement, your users will have the tools they need to recognize and respond appropriately to phishing and other social engineering efforts.
Abiding Solutions uses a cloud-delivered phishing simulation service using deep knowledge of phishing techniques. This makes the phishing campaigns used to test users highly credible. Abiding Solutions also provides rich analytics to help administrators assess the susceptibility of users to phishing and related social engineering attacks. They can then identify users who may need extra support to get up to speed with your organization’s anti-phishing efforts.

One of the most effective ways to test and maintain an Incident Response program is by using Tabletop Exercises.
Tabletop Exercises present an organization with a realistic incident scenario to which they respond. Participants describe how they would react during the incident, what tools they would use, and what procedures would be followed.
TAbiding Solutions has years of experience running Tabletop Exercises, having worked with many organizations to help design and run the exercises in order to test Incident Response plans and policies and ensure they are working as expected. As part of the exercise, Abiding Solutions will:
Design relevant scenarios for the organization
Act as the facilitator and moderator during the scenario
Record all actions that occur during the exercise
Evaluate the tools, procedures, and processes used to ensure they align with industry best practices
At the end of the exercise, the organization will be able to determine where the positive areas in their Incident Response plans and policies are, which areas have room for improvement, and how they can improve moving forward.

When our security experts perform risk analytics for cybersecurity, they’re looking for red flags and gaps in your cybersecurity plan. They look at your network holistically, considering all software, hardware and human components in order to provide a comprehensive picture of your organization’s key risk factors.
Cybersecurity risk management and cyber risk assessments are an essential part of protecting your organization from outside threats and data breaches. A robust cyber risk assessment program will involve collecting relevant strategic documents and policies and building an inventory of existing systems, applications, hardware, software, processes, and procedures.
Along with knowledge and understanding of common cybersecurity risks for businesses, risk assessments bring together all relevant information in order to provide actionable insights for fortifying your network and systems.
Cybersecurity risks for businesses may include:
Improper or incomplete incident response plans
Insufficient business continuity plans
Insufficient end-user security training
Inappropriate password management
A lack of physical security controls around sensitive data storage
And more
These risks can lead to industry compliance infractions, data breaches, and general network vulnerability.
Undocumented, unenforced, or outdated security controls threaten a business’ compliance position and integrity. Abiding Solutions' risk assessment is designed to shine a light on the most critical and treatable risks within an organization so that you can take steps to improve your cybersecurity plans and processes.
A road map to resolve risks with prioritized steps and an understanding of your organization’s most critical issues.
An unbiased, independent third-party evaluation of your organization.
Instant Partnership with Abiding Solutions' security team.
After purchasing a risk assessment from Abiding Solutions, we will schedule a project kick-off meeting to review the risk assessment process and introduce you to your assessment lead.
Abiding Solutions' risk assessment specialist will take the perspective of an unbiased, independent third-party evaluator and investigate various departments of your business to find security gaps. This assessment can be conducted virtually or in-person, and typically runs 3-4 days.
The results and recommendations from the assessment are combined into an executive summary report that includes both a qualitative measure of your cyber risk, as well as a report of identified risks and prioritized steps to understanding your organization’s most critical issues.

According to the 2020 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the global total cost of a data breach averaged $3.86 million in 2020, down about 1.5% from the 2019 study. Victim organizations The average time to identify and contain a data breach was 280 days in the 2020 study, quite identical to 2019 (279).
This year, the experts analyzed the impact of vulnerability testing and red team testing on the cost of a data breach and discovered that conducting red team testing could allow reducing average costs of about $243,000, while conducting vulnerability testing could allow reducing costs of about $173,000.
The report for the first time explores the cost impact of remote work and the security skills shortage.
“Organizations with remote work arrangements cited costs that were nearly $137,000 higher than the global average of $3.86 million, while organizations estimated that the security skill shortage increased costs by an average of $257,000 compared to the global average.” reads the post published by IBM that introduces the report.
For the first time, the report goes deep into analyzing the per-record cost of a data breach based on the type of records involved. The experts pointed out that the customer personally identifiable information (PII) was the most expensive type of record. The customer PII records have a cost of an average $150 per lost or stolen record, followed by intellectual property records ($147), anonymized customer records ($143) or employee PII ($141). Unfortunately, customer PII was present in 80% of the incident analyzed.
52% of data breaches observed in 2020 were caused by malicious attacks.
The analysis of the attack vectors revealed that most prominent ones were compromised credentials (19% of malicious breaches), cloud misconfiguration (19%) and vulnerabilities in third-party software (16%).
For the first time, the report analyzed the cost of breaches involving destructive malware, experts estimated that the average destructive malware breach cost $4.52 million and the average ransomware breach cost $4.44 million. The overall average cost of a malicious breach was $4.27 million.
Cost of a Data Breach Report 2020
You can explore the impacts of these cost factors and more – some that amplify costs and others that mitigate costs – using the interactive cost calculator that is a companion to this year’s report. You can register to access the full calculator to see the estimated impact of 25 cost factors on the average cost of a data breach in 17 geographies and 14 industries. See the 2020 Cost of a Data Breach report and calculator.
Another novelty for the 2020 Cost of a Data Breach Report is represented in the analysis of data breach based on the type of attacker.
Most of the malicious breach was caused by financially motivated threat actors (53%), followed by nation-state actors (13%) and hacktivist threat actors (13%). According to the experts, the average cost of a breach was higher for state-sponsored breaches ($4.43 million) and hacktivist breaches ($4.28 million) than financially motivated breaches ($4.23 million).
