Cyber Defense eMagazine March Edition for 2022

The view from the Publisher’s desk is very encouraging, based on celebrating 10 years of growth and success at Cyber Defense Magazine! When our tiny team began our journey at Cyber Defense Media Group (CDMG) together in January 2012, we were happy to help smaller, lesser-known innovators of infosec, get their message out there and Rise Above the noise. Now, after 10 years, we’re even helping multi-billion-dollar companies and governments around the globe with our offices in DC, London, FL, NY and other locations in play, as we continue to scale, thanks to you – our readers, listeners, viewers and media partners. Beyond the magazine, in response to the demands of our markets, the scope of CDMG’s activities has grown into many media endeavors. They now include Cyber Defense Awards; Cyber Defense Conferences; Cyber Defense Professionals (job postings site being revamped); Cyber Defense TV, Radio, and Webinars; and Cyber Defense Ventures (partnering with investors). Please check them out and see how much more CDMG has to offer! Very respectfully and with much appreciation, Gary Miliefsky, Publisher

Endpoint Malware and Ransomware Volume Already<br />

Exceeded 2020 Totals by the End of Q3 2021<br />

By Corey Nachreiner, CSO, WatchGuard Technologies<br />

The cybersecurity landscape of today is constantly evolving and threat actors are not far behind as they<br />

target users with increasingly sophisticated and complex attacks. To help both professionals and casual<br />

Internet users alike better understand the current state of these threats, WatchGuard wanted to share<br />

our quarterly Internet Security Report (ISR), which outlines the latest malware and network attacks in Q3<br />

2021.<br />

ransomware exceeded all of 2020 by the end of Q3 2021. The research (done by the Threat Lab) also<br />

found that a significant percentage of malware continues to arrive over encrypted connections, as we<br />

saw in previous quarters, and much more. While most people continue to work in a hybrid or mobile<br />
