In Q4 2019 an unprecedented concentration of DDoS attacks on US networks was observed, with more than 1,000 victims identified in various states. Whether motivated by politics, profiteering, crime or other malicious purposes, attacks were frequent and impactful.

In this report, the analysis conducted by our research team identifies vulnerabilities and measures attack trends worldwide to provide a comprehensive view of DDoS threats. Nexusguard is able to evaluate DDoS events in a manner that is not biased by any single set of customer or industries. Many zero-day threats are first seen on our global research network.

This study leverages a vast dataset spanning over 77,000 cyber events experienced by 35,000 organizations over the last decade. This dataset is drawn from Advisen’s Cyber Loss Data, which contains over 138,000 cyber events collected from publicly verifiable sources.

This report, Keeper’s second annual U.S. Cybersecurity Census, maps the transforming landscape of cybersecurity based on these expert insights. It provides leaders with a forensic assessment of the threats their businesses face, and details the urgent strategies necessary to overcome them.

This report is based on cybercrime attacks detected by the Digital Identity Network from July-December 2021, during near real-time analysis of consumer interactions across the customer journey, from new account creations, logins, payments and other non-core transactions such as password resets and transfers.

Radware’s first half of 2022 threat report reviews the most important cybersecurity events, and provides detailed insights into the attack activities for the first six months of 2022. The report leverages intelligence provided by Radware’s Threat Intelligence Team, network and application-attack activity sourced from Radware’s Cloud and Managed Services, Radware’s Global Deception Network, and Radware’s Threat Research team.

As organizations adopt modern software development processes leveraging cloud platforms, they are looking to incorporate security processes and controls into their software development lifestyle (SDLC) processes.

First, the bad - adversaries continued to innovate and alter strategies aimed at taking down DDoS protections with direct-path DDoS attacks and high-powered server-class botnets. Meanwhile, a little good news came in the way of a decrease in some reflection/amplification vectors, floating overall DDoS attack number down. Despite this decrease, the bad news tells us we must remain vigilant to combat ever-changing attacker methodologies and tactics.

This report aims to bring new insights into the reality of ransomware incidents through mapping and studying ransomware incidents from May 2021 to June 2022. The findings are grim. Ransomware has adapted and evolved, becoming more efficient and causing more devastating attacks. Businesses should be ready not only for the possibility of their assets being targeted by ransomware but also to have their most private information stolen and possibly leaked or sold on the Internet to the highest bidder.

This report provides an analysis of the DNS queries blocked by Protective DNS, finds commonalities among the end users that are protected, and uses a financial model to estimate the value of the threat prevention provided by Protective DNS to the UK economy.

The Secureworks Counter Threat Unit (CTU) research team analyzes security threats and helps organizations protect their systems. During November and December 2021, CTU researchers observed notable developments in threat behaviors, the global threat landscape, and security trends, and identified lessons to consider.

This free public report from the Cyentia IRIS Risk Retina series clears away the fog of FUD, providing parameters for frequency and loss of publicly discoverable cyberevents in the nonprofit sector.

We do two very important and timely things in this report. We first explore ways to measure exploitability for individual vulnerabilities—and far more importantly—entire organizations. Second, we create a simulation that seeks to minimize organizational exploitability under varying scenarios combining vulnerability prioritization strategies and remediation capacity. Bottom line: If you’re looking for proven ways to squeeze the most risk reduction from your vulnerability management (VM) efforts, this report is for you.

More than 4,700 executives were surveyed in March and April of 2021 in order to understand the extent to which organizations prioritize security, how comprehensive their security plans are, and how their security investments are performing.

Do exploit code releases help or harm defenders? We decided to put this hotly contested debate to the test. The seventh volume of the Prioritization to Prediction series produced in conjunction with the Cyentia Institute attacks this debate from all angles. Poring over Kenna Security’s own threat and vulnerability intelligence, anonymized platform data, and Fortinet exploitation data, we analyzed over 6 billion vulnerabilities affecting 13 million active assets across nearly 500 organizations.

A review of the threat volume and characteristics affecting e-commerce.

The IRIS 20/20 Xtreme is a follow-up to the IRIS 20/20 study earlier this year, this time focusing on the 100 largest cyber incidents of the last five years, totaling $18 billion in reported losses and 10 billion compromised records. This report breaks down the costs, categorizes incident types, identifies the actors behind these events and the actions they employed, and improves understanding of how these events impacted the organizations involved.

This report looks into spear-phishing attacks as the education sector has moved to be remote. It looks at trends in ways they are targeting schools, as well as solutions organizations can use to defend against these attacks.

This report was compiled from interviews with 1,004 company leaders in order to find the effect of remote work on their companies.

This report from Cloudflare shows trends and shifts in DDoS attacks for the 2nd quarter of 2020.

This quarterly threat report offers insight into the DDoS attacks that occurred in the 2nd quarter of 2019.
