At least 7.2 billion malware attacks and 151.9 million ransomware attacks have been reported through the first nine months of 2019, according to research from the SonicWall Capture Labs threat research team.

SonicWall recorded year-over-year increases in the following types of cyber-attacks:
• Encrypted Malware: Up 58 percent.
• Web Application Attacks: Up 37 percent.
• Internet of Things (IoT) Malware: Up 33 percent.

Organizations can take a unified and layered security approach to protect their networks against cyber-attacks, SonicWall CEO Bill Conner said. In doing so, organizations can maintain real-time protection, quickly identify cyber threats and keep pace with evolving cyber-attacks. Furthermore, cyber-attack tactics and techniques are changing, Conner noted. If organizations develop and implement security rules, they can reduce the risk of cyber-attacks and data breaches.

How to Guard Against Cyber Attacks:

Various network security solutions are available to help your organization guard against cyber-attacks. For example, NWG Solutions offers SonicWall firewalls, intrusion and advanced threat protection, and other security solutions to help organizations secure their applications, data and emails.
