WatchGuard’s Q3 2017 Internet Security Report

WatchGuard’s Q3 2017 Internet Security Report aggregates anonymized telemetry from nearly 30,000 Firebox appliances, reporting a significant rise in malware and network attacks: scripting threats comprised 68% of malware, legacy AV missed a notable portion of new samples, and web-based attacks (XSS, malicious iframes) and authentication-targeted attacks were prominent; the report recommends layered security, user education, and advanced threat prevention.
