CSO reports:

Zero-day exploits, supply chain attacks fuel 72% increase over previous record for incidents of compromise. Another increase is expected for 2024.

The report noted that the number of data compromises in 2023 jumped 78% over 2022, to 3,205 from 1,801 and exceeded, by 72%, the previous high of 1,860 breaches recorded in 2021.
