In addition our security analyst team focuses and highlights the particular trends that are being observed.
Annual Global Threat Report 2007 - Published 2008
Key findings in this year’s report include:
- There was a 61% increase in malware during the second half of 2007.
- 21% of all the malware blocked by ScanSafe in 2007 was zero-day malware—new malware for which there is no existing patch or anti-virus signature—leaving businesses relying on signature updates vulnerable to exposure.
- Password-stealing Trojans and backdoors were the most frequent final stage infectors – exposing corporations to information leaks and data compromise.
- Online gaming while at work, once thought to be just a productivity drain, is now a significant security risk.
