The report delves into the efficacy of different security controls, the most concerning threats as tested by organizations worldwide, and top cybersecurity best practices for 2023.

Many organizations are testing for trending threats.

Organizations are actively testing against threats seen in the news, likely from pressure to report on their exposure risk to emergent threats.

A significant number of organizations are not testing against more widely recognized threats such as ProxyNotShell and Emotet that continue to persist and are apt to cause the most harm if not remediated.

"Organizations must understand their security posture to identify vulnerabilities and protect against emerging cyber threats," said David Neuman, senior analyst at TAG Cyber.

"Cymulate's release of findings from over one million security assessments and 1.7 million hours of testing provides valuable insights into common weaknesses and areas for improvement in cybersecurity. This data highlights the need for continuous security testing and risk assessments to stay ahead of emerging cyber threats."
