We have continued to see the cyber security threat landscape evolve. Over the past 12 months we have observed a number of new trends and changes to attacks, but we have also seen how certain trends and predictions from the past have been confirmed or even reconfirmed.
Our 9th edition of M-Trends draws upon the findings of one year of incident response investigations across the globe. This data provides us with insights into the evolution of nation-state sponsored threat actors, new threat groups, and new trends and attacker techniques we have observed during our investigations. We also compare this data to past observations from prior M-Trends reports and continue our tradition of reporting on key metrics and their development over time.
Some of the topics we cover in the 2018 M-Trends report include:
Dwell Time
Cybersecurity Skills Gap
Repeat breaches
Iranian Threat Activity
