Threat Landscape More Dangerous than Ever

CF: What’s your take on the current threat landscape? And how is Zscaler keeping its partners and customers safe?

TM: Today’s threat landscape is more dangerous for businesses than ever before. Based on reports from our Threatlabz security team, organizations are facing a 314% increase in cyberattacks over encrypted internet traffic and an 80% increase in ransomware, which includes a 120% increase in double-extortion attacks that encrypt and steal sensitive data. Phishing attacks are also on the rise with key industries like financial services, government and retail seeing annual attack increases of over 100%.

However, our customers have access to the largest in-line security cloud, which inspects over 240 billion data transactions daily and blocks 150 million daily attacks. This means they can create comprehensive incident response strategies, dramatically expedite threat investigation, and pinpoint potential malware to stop breaches and data loss. The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange also provides an integrated platform to decrease attack surface risk and secure app-to-app, machine-to-machine, and user-to-app communications, lowering the threat to networks accessed by remote workers and cloud-based businesses.
