Each year, these experts leverage our global backbone and vast network of intelligence sources to write the book on cyber security with our annual Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR). A respected piece of thought leadership, the DBIR is one of the most comprehensive reports of its kind, giving valuable insights into the evolving state of security.
