Like rings on a tree trunk, each year of experience etches a mark on our understanding of the world. We learn from successes, adapt from failures, and gradually accumulate a wisdom born of time and observation. In cybersecurity, this long-term perspective is invaluable. Fads come and go, new technologies emerge, but the fundamental principles of defense remain constant.
Our Quarterly Internet Security Report (ISR) offers that essential long view, one quarter at a time. Our reports span over a decade of data and countless threat detections, industry breaches, and security incidents. We don’t just focus on the fleeting details of the moment; we analyze the underlying trends, the recurring patterns, and the fundamental forces that shape the threat landscape. By understanding the “why” behind the attacks, we can transcend the noise of daily alerts and develop enduring strategies for long-term cyber resilience.
As you explore this report, think of it as the tree of knowledge, highlighting recent threat evolutions, but also grounding that change in longstanding trends that we understand well. This combination of fresh variation with established patterns gives all you need to build the defenses to protect yourself from new and old threats.
