The Threat Horizons Report will continue to highlight advanced threats to the cloud, sophisticated attack campaigns, and novel techniques used to target victims in the cloud. By focusing on good cloud hygiene, defenders will raise the bar necessary for attackers to be successful while reducing the risk of becoming a victim to a common attack.

Increasingly dynamic cloud environments are presenting visibility challenges for security. Indeed, the majority of organizations claim that lack of access to physical networks, the dynamic nature of cloud-native applications, and elastic cloud infrastructure create blind spots, making security monitoring challenging. SOC teams need to address this cloud visibility gap by collecting, processing, monitoring, and acting upon information from an assortment of cloud security telemetry sources.

This report covers the threat landscape, as encountered by our sensors and analysts in the first half of 2023. General malware data presented in the report is gathered from January–May of this year, and reflects threats targeting endpoints that we observed in these months. The report represents a global outlook and is based on over 1,000,000 unique endpoints distributed around the world. Most of the statistics discussed focus on threats for Windows operating systems, as these are much more prevalent then those targeting macOS and Linux.

This year’s research explored three key outcomes and the capabilities that contribute to achieving those outcomes: Organizational performance, team performance and employee well-being. The research also explored means or performance measures that we often talk about like ends-in-themselves: software delivery performance and operational performance.

In this study on general phishing awareness, over 9,000 simulated phishing emails were sent to users who signed up in 2022. Participants were sent three simulated attacks over the course of a week- all classified as moderate in terms of complexity. The users had to identify these emails. If they clicked, they were forwarded to contextual learning resources.

The 2023 SANS Security Awareness Report analyzes data provided by nearly two-thousand security awareness professionals from around the world to identify and benchmark how organizations are managing their human risk. This data-driven report provides actionable steps and resources to enable organizations at any stage of their Awareness program to mature said programs and benchmark them against others.

Our annual Threat Intelligence Report is aimed at anyone interested in cybersecurity, from the technical specialist to the senior CISO.
