The Global Threat Report is an analysis of real-world threat intelligence collected from WatchGuard customers that have opted in to sharing malware and network attack detections with WatchGuard. The WatchGuard Red Cell team reviews this data to identify trends like the volume of malware received by the average Firebox appliance or the number of threats blocked per 100 thousand endpoints. In every report we dive in deep to review specific tactics, techniques, and procedures that adversaries are using against small and mid-market enterprises, and provide defensive tips for keeping organizations protected against an evolving threat landscape.
