Intellectual property (IP) theft is a major issue for many organizations. We recorded over 450 breaches in which
organizations’ trade secrets were stolen (or suspected stolen) in 2014. And while attackers compromised IP in just minutes, it took organizations months to discover a breach.
This year’s DBIR is again based around the nine incident classification patterns we identified in
2014. Just three patterns — cyber-espionage, insider and privilege misuse, and crimeware —
accounted for virtually all (98%) of the breaches involving the disclosure (or suspected disclosure)
of trade secrets. And, unsurprisingly, cyber-espionage accounted for 82% of these breaches. In
comparison, cyber-espionage accounted for 14% of all data breaches across all industries. We’ll
take a closer look at how attackers compromise and exfiltrate IP and at how you can improve
your defenses.
