Fortinet : Key Findings from the 1H 2022 FortiGuard Labs Threat Report

While the first half of 2022 felt anything but ordinary, we continue to observe clever attackers relying on many familiar techniques and attacks, such as ransomware and process injection. However, while the security community may be familiar with many of the tactics and techniques being used by attackers, the unsettling news is that the frequency of these attacks is increasing, and the number of new variants associated with common attack vectors continues to grow.

In our 1H 2022 FortiGuard Labs Threat Landscape Report, we examine the cyber threat landscape during the year's first half to identify trends and offer recommendations about what CISOs and security teams should pay close attention to in the months ahead. The report's findings are based on data collected through our global array of sensors monitored by the FortiGuard Labs team. Below is a look at key takeaways from the report.
