A few weeks ago, Between the Hacks reported on the release of the 2020 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report (DBIR). At the end of that blog was a list of additional 2020 cybersecurity reports. Since then, we have been adding new reports to that list as they are released or as we learn about them but thought that it would be better to create a new post specifically for the list instead of burying it in the DBIR post.

Annual cybersecurity reports are a rich resource of statistics and information for cybersecurity professionals, academics, journalists and anyone who is interested in cybersecurity. Below is a categorized list of many of the 2020 cybersecurity reports. We will add more categories and reports as we come across them. If you find anything that should be on this list, please let us know.
