Report shows massive increase in malware detections on Monday mornings

A new report shows a massive increase in malware detections on Monday mornings when users reconnect their devices to the corporate network. “This trend supports the contention that the security perimeter in organisations is dissolving,” claimed Dimension Data in its annual NTT 2015 Global Threat Intelligence Report . “This is because end users increasingly use their devices both inside and outside the corporate security perimeter. In fact, the user is today’s new organisation perimeter.  What’s more, IT and security management can no longer count on well-defined network security perimeters to protect their organisations.” [caption id=“attachment_2011331” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![Representational image. Reuters](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/onlinebank380-reuters2.jpg) Representational image. Reuters[/caption] The Global Threat Intelligence Report contains analysis of over six billion security events worldwide gathered during 2014 by NTT Group companies. Matthew Gyde, Dimension Data’s group executive - security, said, “It appears that successful exploits occurs over the weekend when end users - and their devices - are outside the security controls of the corporate network. This indicates that traditional security controls are effective at protecting the corporate network, however assets that transition between corporate and external access points are at greater risk.” The malware industry is maturing, with malware becoming commoditised and available through dark net marketplaces. This means the barrier to entry for cybercriminals is a minimal financial investment, but for a potentially large return. “And this trend is not about to disappear  As users become more accustomed to always-on, real-time access to corporate data, they also become the targets of criminals wanting those same data sources.  In summary, users and their devices become the criminal’s entry point.” According to the report, finance continues to represent the number one targeted sector with 18 percent of all detected attacks. Across the world, an astounding 56 percent of attacks against the NTT global client base originated from IP addresses within the United States (this does not necessarily mean that the attackers reside in the US). Nearly 76 percent of identified vulnerabilities throughout all systems in the enterprise were more than two years old, and almost 9 percent of them were over 10 years old. Of the vulnerabilities discovered across enterprises worldwide, 7 of the top 10 exposed vulnerabilities resided within user systems and not on servers, highlighted the report. Threats against the end user are higher than ever, attacks show a clear and continuing shift towards success in compromising the end point. In addition, attacks against business and professional services increased from 9 percent to 15 percent, the report added.
