However, some of the most essential lessons exist between the lines of the statistics. We here at Solutions Review read the report in full and decided to use it as a jumping off point to make some key points about endpoint security. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Securing the digital perimeter doesn\u2019t begin and end with raw numbers (although that often proves a solid foundation). It begins with understanding how these numbers influence the gradual adjustments in your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/free-endpoint-protection-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">endpoint security<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> policies and rules. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Key Findings from the Symantec Internet Security Threat Report<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before we dive into what these numbers mean, we need to establish some of Symantec\u2019s key findings:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 in 10 URLs are malicious.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Web attacks on enterprises rose 56%.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2018 saw four times the number of cryptojacking attacks than 2017. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, cryptojacking continues to trend downwards as cryptocurrency falls in value. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall ransomware attacks are down 20%. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Enterprise-targeting <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/10-worrisome-ransomware-predictions-rackware\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ransomware<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> rose 12%. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mobile ransomware rose 33%. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Malicious Powershell scripts, a key component of fileless malware attacks, rose over 1000%. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With these numbers to guide us, we can conclude&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Formjacking: There is Always a New Threat<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In their report, Symantec defines formjacking as \u201cthe use of malicious JavaScript code to steal credit card details and other information from payment forms on the checkout web pages of eCommerce sites.\u201d They also report a serious uptick in formjacking attacks in 2018. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Formjacking falls under the umbrella of supply chain attacks, in which threat actors use third-parties to get their malicious codes to their actual target websites or users. Moreover, Symantec believes the rise of formjacking correlates with the drop in cryptojacking malware. Cryptocurrencies\u2019 overall drop in value means stealing credit cards through formjacking proves a far more reliable malicious revenue source in the current climate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However the real lesson in endpoint security from formjacking is that your digital perimeter must always be prepared for a new threat vector or attack tactic. Hackers constantly seek out the most profitable cyber attack and probe defenses to look for new ways to bypass your endpoint security. If what once worked no longer pays as it used to, they seek out a new tactic. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your endpoint security needs a steady threat intelligence feed to best supplement their defense tactics and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/enterprise-can-get-your-edr-right\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">EDR<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> capabilities. Only preparing for the last attack leaves on the back foot when hackers come calling. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Cryptojacking and Ransomware: Old Threats Persist and Recur <\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Symantec points out that even with the drop in cryptocurrency mining malware attacks, they still blocked 3.5 million such attacks in December 2018 alone. Meanwhile, ransomware overall dropped but enterprise ransomware attacks rose. Importantly, enterprise ransomware had through 2018 suffered a drop in usage. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cryptojacking and ransomware combine to provide an important lesson to enterprises: no threat goes away. Yes, cryptojacking may never see the same levels of popularity it enjoyed in 2018. However, some hackers will continue to use it as early adopters shift to other cyber weapons; the return of ransomware as an enterprise threat illustrates this perfectly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your firewall and EDR must remain attuned to these threats as they continue to evolve and see usage in smaller numbers. Cybersecurity remains a marathon. Don\u2019t let yourself trip because you dodged a pothole the first time. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Fileless Malware: Legacy Antivirus is Dead<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Symantec found an increase in \u201cliving off the land\u201d attacks via PowerShell; these attacks also go under the alias \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/fileless-malware-attacks-the-threat-of-the-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">fileless malware<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019ve written extensively on the dangers of fileless malware and the inability of legacy endpoint security solutions to detect much less prevent them; it doesn\u2019t download a file when it runs it malicious scripts, making signature detection impossible. It\u2019s no wonder fileless malware continues to see massive escalation in usage in 2018. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Therefore, enterprises need to stop deluding themselves into believing their legacy antivirus solutions can keep them secure. While familiar and comforting, these traditional solutions are wildly inadequate for defending against fileless malware and other modern penetrative threats. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your enterprise needs a modern endpoint security solution. To leave your digital perimeter lingering in a feeble state lays out the welcome mat for innovative hackers. Unfortunately, hackers are nothing if not innovative. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Why Internet Security Matters to Endpoint Security<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But ultimately, the question surrounding the Symantec Internet Security Threat Report for February 2019 is how it relates to endpoint security at all. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Endpoints don\u2019t exist in a vacuum. They serve as the gateway both to your network and digital resources and to the wider Internet. Hackers are constantly developing ways to use malicious websites as a jumping off point to infiltrate more lucrative targets, including your business. With the rise of bring-your-own-devices culture and the Internet of Things, anything connecting to the Internet and your network can become a potential infection point. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your endpoint security has to prepare for this eventuality. You can start by making sure every device connecting to your network has a consistent level of endpoint security. Further you should ensure your endpoint security can recognize and block malicious websites and codes. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can read the full <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/resource.elq.symantec.com\/LP=6819?inid=symc_symc-home-page_ghp_to_leadgen_form_LP-6819_ISTR-2019-report-main&amp;cid=70138000001Qv0PAAS&amp;resetForm=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Symantec Internet Security Threat Report for February 2019<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"#\" href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/free-endpoint-protection-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/files\/2019\/01\/endpoint-security-speedbump-cta.jpg\" alt=\"Download Link to Endpoint Security Buyer's Guide\" width=\"800\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, endpoint security solution provider Symantec released their Internet Security Threat Report for February 2019.
