This year’s report starts with a close look at OverWatch’s extensive dataset covering observed interactive threat actor behaviors, which we will refer to in this report as “intrusion activity.” It uses this data to examine how and where adversaries are operating to provide a comprehensive overview of the threat landscape.

The 2021 BYOD Security Report reveals these security challenges and offers fresh insights on the state of securing mobility, the technology choices organizations are making, and their response to the growing security risks associated with remote work and enterprise mobility.

The 2021 Cloud Security Report reveals how organizations are responding to security threats in the cloud, and which tools and best practices IT cybersecurity leaders are prioritizing in their move to the cloud. Cloud security concerns remain high as the adoption of public cloud computing continues to surge in the wake of the pandemic and the resulting massive shift to remote work.

The 2021 Identity and Access Management Report reveals the increasing importance of managing access as part of an organization’s overall risk management and security posture in the new normal of hybrid work locations. The report highlights what is and what is not working for security operations teams in securing access to sensitive data, systems, and applications.

In this report, we’ve analyzed on-the-ground evidence collected while responding to nearly 1,500 ransomware events exceeding $1 billion in ransom demands. Through it all, we’ve helped our clients manage their response, minimize costs, and maintain business operations. And we hope this report helps many other organizations and insurers do the same.

The SANS CTI survey shows that many CTI programs can meet the challenge. While some programs are just getting started due to increased cybersecurity needs and a growing, complex threat environment brought on by the rapid shift to remote work, organizations can rely on CTI providers and information-sharing groups to fill in the gaps as their programs mature.

In the first half of 2022 SonicWall Capture Labs threat researchers recorded 2.8 billion malware hits globally, an 11% increase year to date over 2021. The amounts to an average of 8.240 malware attempts per customer. Based on data collected, the true culprits behind the rise in malware have been crypto-jacking and loT malware, which have risen 30% and 77% respectively, year to date.

Evolving security threats, exponential data growth, increased complexity, and a continuing cybersecurity shill shortage has given rise to a new category of security solutions called Extended Detection and Response (XDR). Red Piranha and Cybersecurity Insiders conducted a comprehensive survey to reveal the latest XDR trends and challenges in managing XDR, what XDR might replace, and how organizations select security technologies and providers.

The 2022 SIEM Report is based on a survey of 348 cybersecurity professionals and represents one of the industry’s most comprehensive annual studies on SIEM, exploring the latest trends, key challenges, and solution preferences in this market.

In this white-paper, we address both high-level concepts: With respect to ransomware, what are the current adversary trends, and then what can organizations do to defend themselves (or better defend themselves)? The basic concept of ransomeware remains the same: Encrypt data and demand money for decryption.

The goal of the SANS 2022 Cloud Security Survey is to provide additional insight into how organizations are using cloud today, the threats security teams are facing in the cloud, and what we are doing to improve security posture in the cloud, as well. This year, we again had several hundreds respondents, who represented a number of industries.

As ransomware operators were attacking state and municipal networks alongside hospitals and schools, a global pandemic response to COVID-19 necessitated a move to remote work for a significant portion of the economy. Many security teams were forced to suspend wide-ranging analyses around the adoption of remote work policies and instead focus on a supply chair attack from a trusted platform.

M-Trends provides an inside look at the evolving cyber threat landscape directly from global incident response investigations and threat intelligence analysis of high-impact attacks and remediations around the globe.

Secureworks incident response (IR) engagements in 2021 revealed trends about threats and threat actor behaviors. Between January and December 2021, Secureworks incident responders assisted in the containment and remediation of over 450 security incidents.

Cybercriminals have always been opportunists, and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic offered more proof of this than perhaps any other event before it.

Over the past 12 months, SonicWall Capture Labs threat researchers have diligently tracked the meteoric rise in cyberattacks, as well as trends and activity across all threat vendors.

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