136 Pct Increase In Cyber Threats And Attacks Against Govt In India In 2013


NEW DELHI:  Arbor Networks released its 9th Annual Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report offering a rare view into the most critical security challenges facing today’s network operators. Based on survey data provided by service providers, enterprises, cloud, hosting and other network operators from around the world, this annual report provides a real-world view of the security threats that organizations face and the strategies they adopt to address them.

“From the ISP to the enterprise, IT and security teams are facing a dynamic threat landscape and very skilled and patient adversaries. Our ninth annual report showcases that very clearly,” said Matthew Moynahan, president of Arbor Networks. “There is no single, magic bullet solution and it is a mistake to think technology alone can secure a network. Multi-layered defenses are clearly needed, but so is a commitment to best practices for people and process.”
