The 2017 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) revealed that 51 percent of breaches involved the use of malware. Of these breaches, 66 percent were initiated via phishing campaigns that used malware infected email attachments. As discussed in Part 1: Configuration Is the Biggest Security Threat, there are five steps that businesses need to take to mitigate configuration security risks. These steps include endpoint protection, strong passwords, a restricted number of login attempts, alternative authentication, and limited access to critical systems. Upon completing these steps the next task will be to ensure that all devices, communications, logging, and vulnerability responses are properly configured to create a secure network for your vital business data.

According to the Gartner research company, the number of devices with wireless internet connectivity is expected to approach 21 billion by the year 2020. That places the average person, globally, in possession of roughly 1.6 wireless devices. In the west, the estimate per person is four to five such devices.
