TRENDING
CYBER ADVERSARIES UP
THE ANTE ON EVASION
AND ANTI-ANALYSIS TO
AVOID DETECTION
Fortinet has revealed the findings of its latest Global
Threat Landscape Report, with its Fortinet Threat
Landscape Index demonstrating a continued increase
in the volume of cyberattacks.
F
ortinet, a global leader in broad,
integrated and automated
cybersecurity solutions, has announced
the findings of its latest quarterly Global
Threat Landscape Report.
The research reveals that cybercriminals
continue to look for new attack opportunities
throughout the digital attack surface and
are leveraging evasion as well as anti-
analysis techniques as they become more
sophisticated in their attempts.
The Threat Landscape Index crossed a
milestone this quarter. It is up nearly 4%
from its original opening position year-over-
year. The high point during that year-long
timeframe is the peak and closing point
of Q2 CY2019. The upsurge was driven by
increased malware and exploit activity.

“The ever-widening breadth and
sophistication of cyberadversaries’ attack
methods is an important reminder of how
they are attempting to leverage speed
and connectivity to their advantage,” said
Phil Quade, Chief Information Security
Officer, Fortinet.
“Therefore, it is important for defenders to
do the same and to relentlessly prioritise
these important cybersecurity fundamentals,
to position organisations to better manage
and mitigate cyber-risks.
“A security fabric approach across
every security element that embraces
segmentation and integration, actionable
threat intelligence and automation
combined with Machine Learning is essential
to enable these fundamentals to bear fruit.”
