As attacks grow increasingly unpredictable and complex, cybersecurity defense requires much more than a basic strategy; it demands a proactive approach that anticipates the adversary's every move. Many MSPs entrusted with this critical mission by customers must equip themselves with the right technologies that prevent, detect, and respond to potential attacks and adapt as environments and organizational needs change.
Join WatchGuard CSO Corey Nachreiner and Director of Security Operations Marc Laliberte as they discuss key findings from the WatchGuard Threat Lab’s Q2 2024 Internet Security Report. You’ll learn about the latest malware trends, like malware volume dropping across all products but evasive “zero day” malware increasing. They’ll cover the top network exploits, like a 2019 Nginx vulnerability that threat actors targeted during the quarter. And they will share the most dangerous phishing and malware sites your users visited, and much more.
This week on the podcast, we review CISA's most recent report on the top routinely exploited vulnerabilities from the last year. Before that, we cover North Korea's latest malware evasion testing followed by a report on a different evasion technique that abuses concatenated ZIP archives. The 443 Security Simplified is a weekly podcast that gets inside the minds of leading white-hat hackers and security researchers, covering the latest cybersecurity headlines and trends.
External risks, such as cyber scams, ransomware, and identity theft, often steal the limelight. Just look at the numbers: our threat lab reports that 105,571 malware attacks have been blocked daily in the last month, translating into one incident every second. However, insider threats, while more difficult to detect, can be just as damaging to organizations.
The cybersecurity landscape has evolved dramatically, placing IT managers under pressure to adapt. A 168% rise in evasive malware detected by WatchGuard in Q2 2024 underscores this shift, with threat actors following behavioral patterns and adopting attack techniques that become popular and dominate in waves.
