Quarterly Threat Report: 2017 Q3

PsExec, Malware Detection Ratios, and Top Threats per Industry

After a springtime of ransomworms and destructive malware, the third quarter of 2017 saw a continued spread of ransomware, new flaws in major protocols, and significant data loss events for many large organizations. It was an eventful quarter on top of an already eventful year, which brings us back to our original mission for these quarterly threat reports: to paint a less chaotic picture of the threat landscape. For 2017 Q3 Threat Report, we dive into:

• Threat distribution by industry
• Trends in SMB and RDP traffic
• The opportunity to compromise—and protect—service accounts
• Lessons learned and predictions

Download the latest report for a breakdown of the threat landscape organizations faced during 2017 Q3, as well as our key findings and takeaways. To learn more about our research methodologies and how 2017 Q3 stacks up against the first half of the year, visit our Threat Report home page.
