APT = ADVANCED PERSISTENT THREAT

FireEye RELEASES 2013 APT REPORT





While checking out some of my favorite security Blogs this morning I read on FireEye's site that they just released their 2013 APT [Advanced Persistent Threat] report, which made for interesting reading. The post was written by Kenneth Geers, a Senior Global Threat Analyst at FireEye.



It didn't come as a shock that they discovered 11 "Zero Day" attacks with JAVA security holes holding the dubious honor of "Most Attacked" in the first half of the year, giving way to Internet Explorer attacks during the second half of 2013, including issues with FLASH being built into the latest browser for Windows 8.

While there were specific numbers in the amount and type of attacks, I think the graphic they displayed will give you a better picture of things.

YOU'LL SEE A LARGER, EASIER TO READ GRAPHIC ON THEIR SITE


If interested, the post on the report can be found HERE.

'Nuff Said,
