\nannounced
\ntoday that its industry-leading threat intelligence infrastructure, Smart
\nProtection Network\u2122 (SPN), stopped 94.2 billion* cyber-threats heading for
\nconsumer, government and business customers in 2021. <\/p>\n
\nnumber of detections recorded in 2020. It reveals that attacks surged by over
\n53 billion in the second half of 2021 after Trend Micro blocked
\n41 billion threats in 1H 2021<\/a>. <\/p>\n
\nqueries, a 36% year-on-year increase from queries in 2020. Trend Micro’s SPN
\nleverages over 250 million sensors across the broadest attack surface globally
\nto proactively protect organizations and individuals faster. <\/p>\n
\nservers, IoT\/IIoT, home networks, messaging, network, web and cloud
\nenvironments,” said Jon Clay, vice president of threat intelligence for Trend
\nMicro. “That’s a testament to our continuous effort to expand attack surface
\nprotections and improve our advanced detection technologies deployed to 500,000
\ncommercial and government accounts and millions of consumer customers. But it
\nalso underscores the mounting threat from bad actors, as outlined in our 2022
\npredictions report<\/a>.”<\/p>\n
\n2020 to 2021, Trend Micro blocked 66% fewer ransomware attacks over the period,
\nreinforcing the theory that these threats are becoming more targeted. Another
\ncontributing factor in this decrease is that more ransomware attacks are being
\nblocked in earlier stages before being deployed. Over 14 million attacks were
\nproactively stopped in 2021 before they could impact customers.<\/p>\n
\ncapabilities, security teams must be prepared for another onslaught of threats
\nin 2022. Trend Micro predicts that IoT systems, global supply chains, cloud
\nenvironments and DevOps functions will come under increasing scrutiny from
\nattackers over the coming year.<\/p>\n
\nTrust, network monitoring and DevSecOps practices will be critical to prevent
\nspiraling cyber risk in 2022.<\/p>\n
