MAHWAH, N.J., Feb. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Radware� (NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of cyber security and application delivery solutions, released its 2022 Global Threat Analysis Report. The full-year report leverages intelligence provided by network and application attack activity sourced from Radwares Cloud and Managed Services, Global Deception Network and threat research team.
More is the operative word for the global threat landscape in 2022. Compared to 2021, there were not only more DDoS attacks in terms of sheer number, but they were also more powerful, frequent and complex, spanning more attack vectors, said Pascal Geenens, director of threat intelligence for Radware. The surge can be attributed in part to digitalization, the war in Ukraine, and a long-tail of new vulnerabilities and exposed services driven by work-from-home remote access during Covid. The ongoing tensions between major world powers have also led to a rise in state-sponsored cyberattacks and espionage activities.
GLOBAL ATTACK TRENDS: THE UNRELENTING RISE OF DDOS
The global DDoS landscape is rapidly evolving. In 2022, DDoS attack profiles were redefined by gains in number, frequency, volume, power, duration and complexity.
In 2023, the democratization of DDoS and patriotic hacktivism will continue to drive an increase in smaller, more frequent attacks a trend we are already seeing in the increased frequency of lower volume attacks in EMEA. At the same time, expect the cybercrime underground to become even better organized and funded in its pursuit of hard-hitting attacks, said Geenens. Attackers are always looking for new more sophisticated ways to advance their cyber agendas. As a result, organizations find themselves in an escalating state of risk, trying to defend themselves against next-generation threats.
MOST ATTACKED INDUSTRIES
On a global basis, finance was the most attacked industry in 2022, with 53% of the overall attack activity, followed by technology (20%) and healthcare (11%).
Even on a geographic distribution, finance and technology were among the industries shouldering the brunt of the DDoS activity.
WEB APPLICATION ATTACKS
Web application and API attacks grew exponentially in 2022.
