Filling an urgent need for greater cybersecurity, SonicWall gets 17 new Gen-7 firewalls ready in less than 18 months.
With 70% of full-time workers working remotely in hybrid multi-cloud environments, there has been an unprecedented surge of malware and ransomware – and we’re more vulnerable than ever.
According to a report we published The Year of Ransomware, there have been 495 million known ransomware attacks so far this year, a stunning 148% increase YOY. That makes 2021 the worst year for cybersecurity we’ve ever recorded and leads us to predict that the pace of attacks will only rise.
The variants of malware used to attack our networks have also increased drastically. In the third quarter of this year, there were 9.7 ransomware attempts per customer for each business day. Worse yet, there were 307,516 “never-before-seen” malware variants – a 73% increase over previous years.
We need a rapid evolution of the way we conduct cybersecurity. Not only will we have to change our behaviour with better security practices, but also deploy innovative technology that has the capacity and durability to meet the urgent call for better protection.
