Cisco Survey: 100% of Fortune 500 Hosting Malware?

Cisco's 2013 Annual Security Report found that all 30 Fortune 500 firms surveyed showed evidence of malicious activity, including outbound traffic to malware sites and compromised infrastructure. The report highlights a shift toward Java-based exploits (91% of compromises), use of cloud and infrastructure to hide and scale attacks (e.g., DarkLeach), watering-hole techniques likely tied to targeted or nation-state campaigns, and an impending shortage of skilled security personnel to defend against these sophisticated threats.
