It’s only inevitable that assaults targeting those vulnerabilities will increase.
The most recent semiannual report provides a snapshot of the active threat landscape and highlights trends from July to December 2023, including an analysis of the rate at which cyber criminals are capitalising on newly discovered exploits from across the cybersecurity industry, as well as the rise of targeted ransomware and wiper activity against the industrial and OT sectors.
Attacks began an average of 4.76 days after new exploits were publicly revealed: FortiGuard Labs, like the 1H 2023 Global Threat Landscape Report, wanted to understand how long it takes for a vulnerability to go from initial release to exploitation, whether flaws with a high Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) score are exploited faster, and whether EPSS data could be used to predict the average time-to-exploitation.
