NTT Group Announces the Availability of Annual Global Threat Intelligence Report
2016 Report Includes Insights on Threat Landscape From Partners: Lockheed Martin, Wapack Labs, Recorded Future and Center for Internet Security
(firmenpresse) - OMAHA, NE -- (Marketwired) -- 04/19/16 -- , an NTT Group security company (NYSE: NTT) and leading cybersecurity services provider, is pleased to announce the release of the annual . NTT Group has expanded its view of the threat landscape to include findings from key partners -- Lockheed Martin, Wapack Labs, Recorded Future and the Center for Internet Security -- to analyze the attacks, threats and trends from the previous year. The 2016 GTIR is the most comprehensive report to date, pulling information from 24 security operations centers, seven R&D centers, 3.5 trillion logs, 6.2 billion attacks and nearly 8,000 security clients across six continents.
The 2016 GTIR gives security personnel and decision makers the information they need to enable their organizations to disrupt attacks. Practical application of a comprehensive, integrated solution and strategy will not only enable efficiency and effectiveness, but also support the security life cycle of the entire organization.
To achieve this goal, this year's GTIR identifies controls (based on the Center for Internet Security's Critical Security Controls) that can be effective at each stage of the Lockheed Martin Cyber Kill Chain®. Organizations that have implemented controls at each stage of the Kill Chain have an increased ability to disrupt attacks. The report also includes a breakdown of a case study in a "Practical Application of Security Controls to the Cyber Kill Chain."
77 percent have no capability to respond to critical incidents and often purchase support services after an incident has occurred.
These logs accounted for approximately 35 percent of escalated attack activity, making Reconnaissance the largest single element in the CKC.
In many cases, the attacks targeted executives and finance personnel with the intent of tricking them into paying fraudulent invoices.
Retail was followed by the hospitality, leisure and entertainment sector, then insurance, government and manufacturing. While the finance sector showed the highest volume of attacks overall, on a per-client basis, retail clients experienced 2.7 times the number of attacks as finance.
NTT clients from the education sector tended to focus less on the more volatile student and guest networks, but malware for almost every other sector increased.
Results included vulnerabilities from as far back as 1999, making them more than 16 years old. This is for vulnerabilities with a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score of 4.0 or higher.
Implementation of better mitigation tools, along with fewer attacks, combined for a drop in detections of denial of service (DoS) and distributed denial of service (DDoS) activities. But, extortion based on the victim's paying to avoid or stop DDoS attacks became more prevalent.
In 2013, the top 10 vulnerabilities targeted by exploit kits included one Flash and eight Java vulnerabilities. That has changed as new Java vulnerabilities have dropped steadily since 2013. The number of publicized Flash vulnerabilities jumped by almost 312 percent over 2014 levels.
This year's GTIR provides actionable intelligence, guidance about what attackers are doing, and comprehensive security controls designed to disrupt attacks. Controls recommended in this report will contribute to an organization's survivability and resiliency in the face of an attack.
