Latest Cyber Threat Intelligence Shows Ransomware Skyrocketing

/0 Comments/in , /by

2021 has already been a record-setting year for cybercrime — and it’s only halfway over. While high-profile attacks such as Colonial Pipeline and Kaseya continue making headlines, businesses of all sizes, across all industries, are noting an increase in cybercrime.

Part of this increase can be attributed to new ransomware techniques, soaring cryptocurrency prices and the continued rise in IoT devices. But a big factor continues to be today’s shifting and distributed IT landscape, which has proven a uniquely enticing environment for launching a variety of attacks.

“In a year driven by anxiety and uncertainty, cybercriminals have continued to accelerate attacks against innocent people and vulnerable institutions,” SonicWall President and CEO Bill Conner said in the official announcement. “The latest data shows that sophisticated threat actors are tirelessly adapting their tactics and embracing ransomware to reap financial gain and sow discord.”

This data, collected by SonicWall Capture Labs threat researchers over the first six months of 2021, is now available in the Mid-Year Update to the 2021 SonicWall Cyber Threat Report —  which arms organizations with actionable threat intelligence to safeguard workforces in today’s business reality. Here are some of the highlights:

Ransomware Continues its Record-Shattering Run

Ransomware was already high going into 2021, but it’s up significantly since then, with attacks increasing a staggering 151% over the first half of last year. April, May and June each saw levels high enough to hit all-time records, and attacks are showing no sign of slowing down. By June 30, SonicWall had recorded 304.7 million ransomware attacks globally — more than the 304.6 million we saw over the entire year of 2020.

RTDMI™ Reaches New Heights

The bad news: Cyberattacks are getting more effective. The good news: Defense methods are getting better too, and in the case of SonicWall’s patented Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection™ (RTDMI), they’re improving dramatically. Included with the Capture Advanced Threat Protection sandbox service, this technology discovered 185,945 never-before-seen malware variants in the first half of 2021, a 54% year-to-date increase. By leveraging machine learning, RTDMI has become highly effective at identifying new and advanced threats, contributing to a perfect score in the last two cycles of ICSA Advanced Threat Defense (ATD) testing.

IoT Attacks Jump 59%

With the number of IoT devices projected to rise from 13.8 billion today to 30.9 billion in 2025 — and with security standards remaining shockingly lax — cybercriminals are increasingly focusing on IoT attacks. In the first half of 2021, SonicWall threat researchers recorded 32.2 million IoT malware attempts, a jump of 59% year to date.

Cryptojacking Continues to Climb

Cryptojacking continues to defy reports of its demise: In the first six months of 2021, SonicWall saw 51.1 million cryptojacking attempts, a 23% year-to-date increase. This increase was particularly pronounced in Europe, where 248% more cryptojacking attempts were recorded in the first half of 2021 than the first six months of 2020.

Malware Falls by Nearly a Quarter

So far in 2021, malware has fallen 22% year to date, as the decline of “spray-and-pray” malware continues to impact overall volume. With the speed and magnitude of changes impacting the threat landscape — from the preferred methods of attack to who’s being targeted — it’s never been more important to stay updated on the risks of today … or prepare for the risks of tomorrow.

“With remote working still widespread, businesses continue to be highly exposed to risk, and criminals are acutely aware of uncertainty across the cyber landscape,” Conner said. “It’s crucial that organizations move toward a modern Boundless Cybersecurity approach to protect against both known and unknown threats, particularly when everyone is more remote, more mobile and less secure than ever.”

SonicWall Fortifies Cloud Edge Secure Access with Device Compliance Check and Network Traffic Control

/0 Comments/in /by

With so many people working from home, PC sales in April broke a two-decade record — and most of these new devices need to connect to corporate networks. CISOs and IT admins face a daunting challenge when implementing remote workforce policies: figuring out how to allow new productivity tools and more exposure points without increasing the risk of compromising the network.

For multinational corporations, successfully protecting corporate assets also depends on the ability to deploy secure access policies quickly and at global scales, with zero-touch roll-out to keep overhead cost to a minimum.

Announcing Cloud Edge Secure Access 1.1

To help ease these challenges, SonicWall has announced the release of Cloud Edge Secure Access 1.1.

Unveiled in Nov. 2020, SonicWall Cloud Edge Secure Access is a cloud-native solution that provides worldwide Network-as-a-Service with integrated Zero-Trust and Least-Privilege security.

With 1.1, SonicWall is adding new Device Posture Check and Network Traffic Control features. This marks a significant milestone, as it completes the Zero-Trust Network Access capability suite. The additions enable Cloud Edge Secure Access to control the entire security stack — from users and devices to the end-to-end network and corporate resources.

The Anatomy of a Network Breach

Before discussing the details of the new features, let’s look at the anatomy of a network breach. There are many ways that malware can compromise a corporate network, but here are the most common:

  1. BYODs: The most common method is the accidental download of malware while working on personal mobile devices, which frequently lack anti-virus protection.
  2. Home Networks: Without a dedicated firewall in place, home networks are “semi-secure” at best — especially if they are connected to an easily breached, multi-purpose gateway.
  3. Public Hotspots: Even IT-issued devices can be at risk on public Wi-Fi networks. These hotspots allow data to be intercepted and exfiltrated and open an avenue through which malware variants can be injected into the device.
  4. Loaner Corporate Computers: Working on temporary shared computers can leave malware in the browser cache or left behind as attachments.

Zero-Trust Network Access Security Starts with Devices

In the original 1.0 release, the device verification feature was limited to checks for the OS type, time of access and geo-location to ensure there was nothing out of the ordinary about login attempts.

With the addition of Device Posture Check (DPC), network access is granted only to authorized users and compliant devices that have passed stringent OS integrity and malware-free environment verifications.

When combined with anti-virus or endpoint security software, DPC can stop malware from entering the network. Even if a breach does occur, malware will be contained within a specific micro-segment of the network, preventing further lateral movement and larger breaches. (The micro-segmentation requires Network Traffic Control (NTC), which we will discuss shortly.)

Based on the outcomes of specific security attributes — including certificates, registry and encryption status — DPC marks a device as healthy or unhealthy.

DPC then presents the total number of healthy and unhealthy devices in a simple dashboard that allows an IT admin to assess the network-wide threat level and, if needed, quickly drill down to a particular device to revoke access.

To save time and roll-out cost, DPC supports a zero-touch deployment model and full backward compatibility with Cloud Edge 1.0 desktop and mobile clients.

Software-Defined Micro‑Perimeter Security Follows the Users

The core feature of any Zero-Trust environment is the creation of micro-perimeters around critical segments, also known as micro-segmentation. With the new NTC, the perimeter is software-defined and the built-in stateful firewall-as-a-service forms protective boundaries that control inbound and outbound network traffic.

NTC also acts as the Least-Privilege access manager, which allows an IT admin to deny or allow traffic from a specific user, device or location, and to a specific region, network, associated services and applications. As a result, every user can access only what’s necessary and nothing more — enabling complete “Zero-Trust Network Access Security.”

By limiting the exposure to other sensitive areas of the network, organizations can prevent threats from moving laterally, thereby securing their resources without sacrificing their operational flexibility.

Summary

The addition of Device Posture Check and Network Traffic Control to the Cloud Edge Secure Access solution strengthens security control against network breaches and cyber intercepts. These threats are increasingly common, particularly among organizations that rely heavily on public infrastructure (such as the internet or public hotspots) to transport sensitive data, and those using public clouds as private data centers.

SonicWall Cloud Edge Secure Access will be available for the general public at the end of August. SonicWall invites you to view the demo of this simple yet powerful SASE product. To demo this simple yet powerful SASE product, click here.
