We shared the below info in last month’s report, but as this month is the first month with the new format, it bears repeating.
If you’ve been a regular reader of this Monthly threat report you know that we commonly cover the changes in the email threat landscape. What we’ve identified over the last year of reporting on these statistics is that trends in email threats shift very subtlety unless there is a new emerging trend, vulnerability, attack-type, or threat-actor. With this in mind, we’ve decided to make a change to the way this report is formatted in the coming months as follows:
Statistical data points (email threat types, brand impersonations, threat file types, industry threat index) will be covered on a quarterly basis moving forward. Said statistical data will encompass the entire 3 months of a given fiscal quarter (Ex. Jan-Mar data will be Presented in April). This means that statistical reports will be published in the months of:
- April (Q1 – January to March)
- July (Q2 – April to June)
- October (Q3 – July to September)
- January (Q4 – October to December)
NOTE: We also conduct an annual Hornetsecurity Cyber Security Report that does statistical analysis with annual data as opposed to Monthly/Quarterly.
Moving forward reports that do not fall on one of the quarterly months listed above will instead feature:
- Industry news commentary
- Threat analysis
- Industry predictions
- Recommended actions with regards to security events or incidents
- Emerging security technology guidance
We feel that this new format will bring readers the most value in this publication month-to-month.
