Hey there,   This year's Picus Blue Report analyzes findings from over 160 million real-world attack simulations. Credential attacks nearly doubled—46% of environments had passwords cracked—while data exfiltration defenses dropped to an alarming 3%, despite surging infostealers and double extortion ransomware threats.   In this year's report, you'll discover: A 2X increase in password cracking, from 25% to 46%, underscores critical security gaps. Prevention effectiveness declined from 69% to 62%, reversing last year's improvement. Data exfiltration prevention effectiveness fell sharply from 9% to just 3%, leaving organizations highly exposed.
