Kaspersky releases an official statement in response to the warning issued by the German Federal Office for Information Security agency (BSI) on March 15, 2022

According to a commissioned survey conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Kaspersky, IT security leaders seeking to boost internal threat intelligence (TI) programs would prefer to delegate five out of eight major TI aspects to external vendors rather than develop them in-house. For most respondents, quicker threat detection, remediation and response are the main advantages of using external solutions.

During the second half of 2021, almost 40% of all industrial control systems’ (ICS) computers were attacked by malicious software at least once. Even though the overall number of attacks has seen a slight decrease when compared to H1 2021, the ICS threat landscape in the second half of the year has become highly diversified with the percentage of ICS computers on which miners were blocked grew by 0.5 percentage points, spyware up 0.7 percentage points and malicious scripts increasingly growing at 1.4 times the rate seen at the beginning of 2020.

A recent Kaspersky report, “Pushing the limits: How to address specific cybersecurity demands and protect IoT”, revealed that in two-in-five businesses (43%), some parts of their IoT infrastructure are yet to have any protection. Meanwhile, the main barrier for implementation of many businesses’ IoT projects is the risk of cybersecurity breaches and data compromises.

卡巴斯基最近的一份标题为“突破极限：如何解决特定的网络安全需求并保护物联网”显示，在五分之二的企业中（43%），其物联网基础设施的某些部分尚未得到任何保护。与此同时，许多企业物联网项目实施的主要障碍是网络安全漏洞和数据泄露的风险。

In 2021, the financial threats landscape witnessed positive changes with the overall number of users affected by malware reduced significantly, including a 35% drop in PC malware. Still, financial organizations, as cybercriminals’ most lucrative targets, continue to face massive threats. According to Kaspersky’s new Financial cyberthreats in 2021 report , attacks are becoming increasingly corporate rather than consumer focused. In 2021, every third (37.8%) PC banking malware attack targeted corporate users, representing a growth of almost 14% since 2018.

In 2021, Kaspersky saw a steady decline in attacks on mobile devices, while cybercriminals consolidated their efforts to focus on more dangerous (and profitable) threats instead. New mobile malware has become increasingly complex, featuring new ways to steal users’ banking and gaming credentials, as well as other strands of personal data.
