Our annual State of the Phish report explores end-user security awareness, resilience and risk across 15 countries (eight more than in previous years). The report benchmarks understanding of common cyber threats and defensive tactics and reveals how potential gaps in knowledge and cyber hygiene enable the real-world attack landscape. Most attacks target people before they target systems. That’s why helping users build sustainable security habits is crucial.

The April 2023 report details a continued rise in Russian state-sponsored threat actors, the shutdown of a widely used hacker marketplace, “shadow ban” attacks against Twitter users, and the emergence of several new high and critical vulnerabilities, including a zero-day exploit against Google Chrome. It also provides updates to the metrics and information on the most impactful vulnerabilities and malware strains in the wild today and includes information on some of the top phishing sites observed over the month.

The goal of this paper is to help decision-makers and entities who can protect systems from ransomware at scale, such as the security industry, governments, and policymakers, to form defensive strategies on how best to make an impact on the ransomware ecosystem. While this paper does not focus on hands-on technical defenses that an enterprise would look to for deployment, it does aim to provide decision-makers with methods for understanding the level of risk that an organization faces from this threat.

Our international survey explored the experience of ransomware attacks on organizations over the last 12 months. The findings show that almost three-quarters (73%) of respondents report being hit with at least one successful ransomware attack in 2022 — and 38% say they were hit twice or more.

In this latest edition of the Invicti AppSec Indicator, we asked development and security practitioners how they deal with all the excess AppSec noise in the face of relentless pressure to deliver business-critical software on time without compromising security.

In our bi-annual AppSec Indicator report, we uncover insights and trends to guide best practices in vulnerability identification and remediation. For this year’s Spring edition of the Invicti AppSec Indicator, we analyzed data from 1.7 million scans conducted by the 1,700 customers that use our cloud dynamic application security testing (DAST) offering, representing approximately half of our entire customer base.

The annual HUMAN Enterprise Bot Fraud Benchmark Report provides insights into automated attack trends across enterprise use cases, including account takeover, brute forcing, carding, credential stuffing, inventory hoarding, scalping, and web scraping.

The basis of this report is the Zscaler ThreatLabz research team’s analysis of nearly 6 billion data loss policy violations from November 2021 through July 2022. We’ll look at what and how enterprise data is being shared, where it’s going, which malicious actors are targeting it, and how you can improve your datasharing hygiene so as to mitigate risk without stifling productivity.

This report will help you recognize the social engineering tactics and sophisticated coding used in phishing attacks, so you can prevent costly data breaches. Read on for an in-depth look at the latest phishing trends and observations the ThreatLabz team collected throughout the past year, and get best practices for safeguarding your organization against ever-evolving phishing techniques.

The industrial cyber threat landscape is constantly changing with new adversaries, vulnerabilities, and attacks that put operations and safety at risk. The 6th annual Dragos Year in Review summarizes what you need to know about your threats and benchmark your OT cybersecurity posture.

Dragos is excited to present the fifth year of the annual Dragos Year In Review report on Industrial Control System (ICS)/Operational Technology (OT) cyber threats, vulnerabilities, assessments, and incident response observations. This report captures how a portion of the industrial community is performing and progressing, and highlights the areas that need improvement to provide safe, reliable operations into 2022 and beyond.

This report, based on VMware’s experience with a diverse customer base, offers a comprehensive look at Linux-based malware threats to multi-cloud environments. It highlights the unique characteristics of this class of threats and provides guidance on how combining endpoint detection and response (EDR) and network detection and response (NDR) solutions can help organizations stay ahead of the threats Linux-based malware poses.

This research was conducted to understand the challenges and issues facing businesses in the United States (U.S.) when it comes to escalating cyberattacks. It identifies trends in hacking and malicious attacks, and the financial and repetitional impact breaches had in what has been an unprecedented year. It examines U.S. organizations’ plans for securing new technology, adopting a cloud-first security strategy, and dealing with the complexity of the current cybersecurity management environment.

It examines organizations’ plans for securing new technology, adopting a cloud-first security strategy, and dealing with the complexity of the current cybersecurity management environment.

The global cyber threat landscape has escalated. In this, our third Global Threat Report, we find that attack frequency has reached unprecedented levels; 90% of security professionals said the volume of attacks they faced has increased. Attackers are employing a more diverse range of tactics and techniques than ever before as they bid to extort, disrupt and infiltrate organizations.

FortiGuard Labs experts leverage Fortinet’s large global footprint to continually monitor the threat landscape and the major geopolitical events that influence it. This report presents findings and insights from six months of intense research, with recommendations for leaders and practitioners to better prepare and protect your organization.

In this threat intelligence spotlight report, eSentire’s Threat Response Unit (TRU) provides a threat analysis of the most common cyber threat detected across our global legal customer base.

In this year’s survey, more than 80% of respondents say they are “very” or “extremely” concerned about the threat of ransomware, yet a similar number (78%) of organizations surveyed also believe they are “very” or “extremely” prepared to thwart a breach. Despite those concerns and feelings of preparedness, half of the organizations surveyed still fell victim to ransomware last year.

This report is based on our research and experience from the past year in securing enterprise cloud environments. We chose to focus on novel, notable, and high-impact risks that we believe you should be familiar with and include in your cloud security strategy for 2022.

The report is based on threat intelligence observations from the Threat Analysis Group (TAG), Google Cloud Threat Intelligence for Chronicle, Trust and Safety, and other internal teams. It provides actionable intelligence that enables organizations to ensure their cloud environments are best protected against ever evolving threats. In this and future threat intelligence reports, Google will provide threat horizon scanning, trend tracking, and Early Warning announcements about emerging threats requiring immediate action.

This report describes threat phenomena, trends, and recommendations we believe will help organizations prepare for the future. Elastic discloses malware research, attack patterns, and clusters of malicious activity to the community -summarized in this inaugural report. Throughout this report, we observe that financially motivated threats are the most active, and the groups responsible for them are acting with increasing speed.
