Here the attackers are going after a specific company or sector of the market, and these are impacting every size of business.Īt the same time we’re operating in a much more complex business environment – with increasing connectivity, always-on technologies, data on premise, in cloud and on a multitude of devices – providing a much bigger attack surface.

While the bulk of that represents random speculative attacks – the sort of traditional cybercrime we’ve come to expect – the remaining 10% are targeted attacks. Over the past 20 years we’ve seen pretty much exponential growth in malware, to the point that we’re now seeing more than a million new samples a day, with 310,000 unique threat samples every day. So when I met with security expert David Emm I was keen to discuss security from the perspective of the typical UK organisation: what does the threat landscape look like for them, how is this likely to change over the next year or two, how can they assess the threat they face, what should an effective security policy look like, and how can they identify an appropriate security solution? But much of what’s reported in the media seems to relate to large, multinational, household name organisations.

In the sixteen years I’ve been working in infrastructure design, security has become more and more important.
