Get the latest Cortex Xpanse “Attack Surface Threat Report” to understand the risks, and learn how automation can help security teams stop chasing a moving post and reduce risks. The Cortex Xpanse research team studied the global attack surface by monitoring scans of 50 million IP addresses associated with 100+ global enterprises and discovered that the attack surfaces of all industries continue to grow. As security teams struggle to keep up, the constant stream of new issues becomes an ever-expanding backlog of exposure - misconfigured RDP, exposed admin portals, insecure Apache Web servers or Microsoft Exchange servers, and more.

The 2022 Unit 42 Incident Response Report sheds light on the risks and threats that organizations are facing. It provides insights into threat actors and their methods that can then be used to help organizations identify potential gaps in their defenses and areas to focus on to improve their cybersecurity stance going forward.

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.

In this report, we show how this combination of AI and automation can deliver substantially better performance, whether in the form of speed, insights, or flexibility. These performance improvements enable cybersecurity teams to shift their focus to what really matters: proactively protecting against, detecting, responding to, and recovering from threats while reducing costs and complexity.

However, 2021 is most likely to be remembered as the year that ransomeware epidemic isn’t over, and it may not even have peaked, but the threat it poses to businesses, supply-chains and critical infrastructure is no longer in doubt, and the forces arrayed against it have never been so formidable.

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.

In this report, you will find details about security, compliance, services, alerting, and Kubernetes usage patterns. This information can be useful for determining the real-world state of security and usage for container environments at companies around the world, from a broad range of industries.

Amid our worldwide bedlam, this report is aimed at informing for the purposes of preparation. Whether you find yourself in the midst of government affairs, technology management, or business operations, the state of rising factors impacts nearly every country, either directly or indirectly, and provides a ripe setting for cyberattacks to thrive. Based upon research conducted and shared amongst our various practices in DevSecOps, Offensive Security, Governance-Risk-Compliance, Threat Intelligence, and Research, we have completed our overall analysis to focus on the following evolving threats as we navigate through 2022.

Service providers are undergoing a technological revolution, transforming their networks and computing infrastructure to dramatically change the user experience and support new services in an app-driven world tailored to industry and business objectives. To do so, service providers are embracing ultra-low-latency designs, fully automated software delivery and increased levels of operating efficiency.

As these ransomware gangs and RaaS operators find new ways to remove technical barriers and up the ante, ransomware will continue to challenge organizations of all sizes in 2022. As a result, ransomware has become one of the top threats in cybersecurity and a focus area for Palo Alto Networks. This report provides the latest insights on established and emerging ransomware groups, payment trends, and security best practice.

For the 2020 Duo Trusted Access Report, our data shows that more organizations across all industries are enabling their workforces to work from home now, and potentially for an extended period of time. They’re also implementing the appropriate security controls to ensure secure access to applications. In this report, we’ll look at how companies are currently securing remote work and what makes a solid and secure remote access strategy.

The Blackberry 2022 Threat Report is not a simple retrospective of the cyberattacks of 2021. It is a high-level look at issues affecting cybersecurity across the globe, both directly and indirectly. It covers elements of critical infrastructure exploitation, adversarial artificial intelligence (Al), initial access brokers (IABs), critical event management (CEM), extended detection and response (XDR), and other issues shaping our current security environment.

Arctic Wolf’s 2022 Security Trends Report provides insight into the current and future state of these cybersecurity teams as they attempt to move their security programs forward while dealing with an ever-evolving threat environment. Our research findings show that ransomware, phishing and vulnerabilities don’t just monopolize headlines, they’re taking up security professionals’ headspace, too. Defending an increasing number of threats from attackers with far more resources feels like a lost cause too many businesses.

This report was created by the ConnectWise Cyber Research Unit (CRU) - a dedicated team of ConnectWise threat hunters that identifies new vulnerabilities, researches them, and shares what they find for all to see in the community. The CRU monitors ransom leak sites and malicious botnets for new threats, uses OSINT resources, and utilizes data from the ConnectWise SIEM powered by Perch to help create content and complete research.

In 2021, the industry saw a transition into threat actor separation of duties, with an increase in groups focused on obtaining and selling access to victims (Initial Access Brokers). In observing this trend, Deepwatch has taken note of the proliferation of Initial Access Brokers and how it correlates with a shift in focus, away from specific industries and towards attacks of opportunity. As this trend continues, more emphasis must be placed on risk management of organizations’ internet exposure.

At Nuspire, we’re still witnessing threat actors using malicious files and cashing in on newly announced vulnerabilities. Threat actors are opportunistic for the most part and seek the easiest access for the least amount of effort. We explore these ideas and cover some of the most prevalent ways we’ve see threat actors attempt to breach the gates. After we dig into the data, we’ll provide you with actionable takeaways you can apply to your network to harden your defenses.

This study offers the kind of insights CISOs have long been asking for - to benchmark their situation and experience against others; to learn from what their peers are doing and planning to do ; and to validate ideas and obtain solid data to justify investments in these areas.

Now in its seventh year, Sonatype’s 2021 State of the Software Supply Chain Report blends a broad set of public and proprietary data to reveal important findings about open source and its increasingly important role in digital innovation.

For the State of Cloud Security 2021, we surveyed 300 cloud professionals, including cloud engineers, cloud security engineers, DevOps, and cloud architects, to better understand the risks, costs, and challenges they are experiencing managing cloud security at scale.

Based on Arete case data, the commonly observed techniques and vulnerabilities of 2021 will likely not change through most of 2022. In the Arete Annual Crimeware Report, we will discuss: notable tactics and techniques observed in threat actor campaigns, notable negotiation insights gleaned from ransomware cases, how law enforcement has changed its games and how the threat landscape will evolve in 2022.
