Bitdefender released its 2023 Cybersecurity Assessment report Wednesday, which surveyed more than 400 IT and security professionals located in the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Italy and Spain. The report found that 42% of surveyed respondents said they were told to keep a breach confidential when they should have reported it, and nearly 30% said they had kept a breach confidential knowing it should have been reported. When it comes to U.S.-based organizations, those percentages only increased. The report also addressed the legal backlash of maintaining breach confidentiality. The primary threat concerns for surveyed respondents last year were software vulnerabilities and zero-day exploits, followed closely by phishing campaigns and supply chain attacks.

Ransomware came in at No. 4. Bitdefender noted that patching software vulnerabilities in a timely manner is an ongoing problem that attackers increasingly leverage.
