In its latest Global threat intelligence report, spanning the period from 1 June to 31 August 2023, BlackBerry reported that its solutions stopped approximately 3,370,000 cyber attacks and observed an average of 4,237 unique malware samples every day against its customers - that's 2.9 every minute - totalling over 380,000 malicious samples.
"The rise in and of itself I'd argue is maybe not the issue - as long as you've got the defence capabilities in place. The problem is the ease with which these samples are created, and the volume in which they are created, because with that comes uniqueness that some organisations may not be able to protect themselves from. It only takes one of those samples to be really good to get through the defences you have in place."
In BlackBerry's view, this increases the need for advanced anti-malware protection leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities to take the pressure off security teams.
