Key findings from the data show a dramatic surge in evasive malware that fueled a large increase of total malware, threat actors targeting on-premises email servers as prime targets to exploit, and ransomware detections continuing to decline, potentially as a result of law enforcement\u2019s international takedown efforts of ransomware extortion groups. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Threat Lab\u2019s latest research shows threat actors are employing various techniques as they look for vulnerabilities to target, including in older software and systems, which is why organizations must adopt a defense-in-depth approach to protect against such threats,\u201d said Corey Nachreiner, chief security officer at WatchGuard. \u201cUpdating the systems and software on which organizations rely is a vital step toward addressing these vulnerabilities. Additionally, modern security platforms that are operated by managed service providers can deliver the comprehensive, unified security that organizations need and enable them to combat the latest threats.\u201d<\/p>\n
