The information in this report is based on ransomware-related information obtained from analysis of BSA data, trade publications, and commercial reporting, as well as insights from law enforcement and other partners. Trends represented in this report illustrate financial institutions’ identification and reporting of ransomware events and may not reflect the actual dates associated with ransomware incidents.

This report will help organizations concentrate their security efforts on what really matters and highlight the main obstacles on their way to safe cloud computing.

This report underscores the challenge facing corporate, government and not-for-profit debt issuers: rising cybersecurity incidents, higher costs to combat them, and an imbalance in the executive and risk management experience needed to manage them properly. In an ever-more-connected world, the risk of systemic attacks resulting in damaging financial and repetitional consequences keeps increasing.

In 2021, Cybersecurity Insiders conducted the fourth annual threat hunting research project to gain deeper insights into the maturity and evolution of the security practice. While many SOCs are struggling to cope with the current security threat workload, more organizations are adopting threat hunting as part of their security operations. They are discovering that proactive threat hunting can reduce the risk and impact of threats while improving defenses against new attacks.

This report shines an important spotlight on the perceptions of global financial institutions around authentication. As the study findings show, these remains much to do to close these security gaps, and traditional MFA methods are not delivering the security that we all need.

The 2021 Threat Hunting Report explores the challenges, technology preferences, and benefits of threat hunting to gain deeper insights into the maturity and evolution of the security practice. Threat hunting continues to evolve as an innovative cybersecurity tactic that focues on proactively detecting and isolating Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) that might otherwise go undetected by tradition, reactive security technologies.

The goal of this report is to document the evolution of the threat landscape over the previous years so security practitioners can tune their defenses to suit. More specifically, this report is intended to clarify the relationship between target characteristics and attacker behavior so that each organization can focus on the threats most applicable to them.

This 2022 Ransomware Report reveals the latest security trends, challenges, and investment priorities for ransomware protection, as reported by over 236 cybersecurity professionals surveyed in 2022. Ransomware attacks are on the rise and continue to wreak havoc as one of the most destructive malware threats that affect organizations of all sizes.

The 2022 State of Passwordless Security Report is based on a comprehensive survey of 411 technology professionals to explore the state of conventional and passwordless authentication, key drivers and barriers to adoption, and organizations’ technology preferences. Respondents range from technical executives to IT security practitioners, representing a cross-section of organizations of varying sizes across multiple industries.

This report is based on the results of a comprehensive online survey of 225 cybersecurity professionals, to gain more insight into the latest trends, key challenges, and solutions for malware and ransomware security. The respondents range from technical executives to managers and iT security practitioners, representing a balanced cross-section of organizations of varying sizes across multiple industries.

The Google Cloud Threat Horizons Report brings decision-makers strategic intelligence on current and likely future threats to cloud enterprise users and the best original cloud-relevant research and security recommendations from across Google’s intelligence and security teams.

This report was complied using Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), the practice of collecting information from published or otherwise publicly available sources, and Sysdig TRT’s global data collection network. Data on cryptominers and DDoS agents was detected through Sysdig’s advanced honeynets. The honeynet is designed to capture attacks and analyze the tools used by threat actors.

This report surveyed 278 cybersecurity professionals to reveal the key challenges regarding security visibility, how organizations solve this issue, and the security capabilities organizations prioritize.

Q3 saw a notable trend in which attackers launched DDoS attacks at single targets within a CSP, attributing an attack size increase of 544% QoQ and 232% YoY. Over 55% of attackers focused on hitting specific service with high volumes of traffic simultaneously. Due to the dramatic increase in attack size, this shift to employing high-penetration volumetric attacks can potentially lead to additional impact to CSP networks, regionally.

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.

In the first half of 2021, we found that 99.09% of attacks were smaller than 10Gbps and 95.62% of attacks were smaller than 1Gbps, of which we believe a majority were launched using readily available and inexpensive DDoS-for-hire services.

In this edition of our quarterly report, there will be a special feature story that focuses on the DDoS issues surrounding the online gaming industry, in particular, why it is an industry to keep an eye on - especially the service providers to this industry. And why the popularity of online gaming has skyrocketed in Q3.

This report represents a global outlook and is based on over 700,000 unique endpoints distributed around the world. Most of the statistics discussed focus on threats for Windows operating systems, as they are much more prevalent compared to macOS and Linux.

In this report, we’re going to discuss how bit-and-piece attacks have continued to evolve, and are able to successfully evade DDoS mitigation schemes when blended with multiple attack vectors, and the challenges that these advanced attack tactics present to the cybersecurity world.

The 2022 A10 Networks DDoS Threat Report provides insights into DDoS activity during the past six months including origins of activity; the growth of DDoS weapons and botnets; the role of malware in the propagation of DDoS weapons and attacks; and the steps organizations can take to protect against such activities.

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.
