The limits of your digital empire are incalculable. What was once a delimited
and defensible space, is now a borderless territory - a vast one,
widely dispersed inventory of devices, apps, appliances, servers, networks, clouds and users. Better understanding how cybercriminals think means being better prepared for the next threat.

Although the total volume of malware detected decreased in 2019, the attacks were more sophisticated and successful, targeting mainly healthcare, state, provincial and local government.
SonicWall Capture Labs threat researchers recorded 9.9 billion malware attacks in 2019, a slight decrease of 6 % from the previous year.
