Advanced Threat Report

| Security, White Papers | No Comments

The FireEye Advanced Threat Report analyses more than 40,000 advanced attacks across the globe to map out the latest trends in advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks. Leveraging real-time threat intelligence from millions of security alerts across customer deployments, FireEye tracked more than 160 distinct APT malware families and logged 22 million command-and-control (CnC) transmissions. This report correlates that intelligence to provide insight that spans countries, industries, and threat vectors.

Key findings include:
• The top ten countries most frequently targeted by APTs
• The most verticals that were targeted (by number of unique malware families)
• The top threat vectors used
• Top software exploited in zero-day attacks
