Latest Internet Security Report highlights danger of encrypted malware without HTTPS inspection, looks at security impact of the COVID-19 and finds UK was a top target for malware
Research also shows surge in Monero cryptominers and Flawed-Ammyy and Cryxos malware
WatchGuard® Technologies’ latest Internet Security Report shows that 67% of all malware in Q1 2020 was delivered via encrypted HTTPS connections and that 72% of encrypted malware was classified as zero day, so would have evaded signature-based antivirus protection. These findings show that without HTTPS inspection of encrypted traffic and advanced behaviour-based threat detection and response, organisations are missing up to two-thirds of incoming threats. The report also highlights that the UK was a top target for cyber criminals in Q1, earning a spot in the top three countries for the five most widespread network attacks.
