The 2014 Internet Security Threat Report gives an overview of global threat activity for the past year based on data from Symantec’s Global Intelligence Network.
Symantec Internet Security Threat Report 2011 Trends Volume 17 April 2012Symantec
Symantec's 2011 Internet Security Threat Report, Volume 17 shows that while the number of vulnerabilities decreased by 20 percent, the number of malicious attacks continued to skyrocket by 81 percent. In addition, the report highlights that advanced targeted attacks are spreading to organizations of all sizes and variety of personnel, data breaches are increasing, and that attackers are focusing on mobile threats.
Symantec's Internet Security Threat Report, Volume 18 revealed a 42 percent surge during 2012 in targeted attacks compared to the prior year. Designed to steal intellectual property, these targeted cyberespionage attacks are increasingly hitting the manufacturing sector as well as small businesses, which are the target of 31 percent of these attacks. Small businesses are attractive targets themselves and a way in to ultimately reach larger companies via “watering hole” techniques. In addition, consumers remain vulnerable to ransomware and mobile threats, particularly on the Android platform.
Welcome to the May edition of the Symantec Intelligence report. Symantec Intelligence aims to provide the latest analysis of cyber security threats, trends, and insights concerning malware, spam, and other potentially harmful business risks.
Symantec has established the most comprehensive source of Internet threat data in the world through the Symantec Global Intelligence Network, which is made up of more than 57.6 million attack sensors and records thousands of events per second. This network monitors threat activity in over 157 countries and territories through a combination of Symantec products and services such as Symantec DeepSight Intelligence, Symantec Managed Security Services, Norton consumer products, and other third-party data sources.

While mobility enables business innovation and agility, it also introduces risk. These risks fall into four main areas: Device, network, apps/data and external threats.
In today’s interconnected world, few things terrify CEOs and CTOs more than electronic security (well, a breach of that security, anyway). Most of our records, personal information, corporate information, and sensitive data exist online or on Internet-connected hardware. Mobile, with all it’s advantages for enterprises, actually poses one of the largest emerging threats to those enterprises’ data security. As such, we wanted to share some statistics that demonstrate the severity of the problem and highlight the importance of mobile security for your business.
This brief presentation gives you a quick overview on how the Cyber Threat Landscape is shaping up in 2017 for individuals and business owners alike. It puts forth some important trends and predictions.

TrendLabs 2012 Annual Security Roundup: Evolved Threats in a “Post-PC” WorldInfinigate Group
Experts have been predicting the coming “post PC” era for a few
years. So the question has been, “when will we know that it’s
really here?” A simple answer is, we’ll know it’s really here when
cybercriminals move beyond the PC. By that measure, 2012 is truly
the year we entered the post-PC era as cybercriminals moved to
embrace Android, social media platforms, and even Macs with their
attacks.
INFOGRAPHIC: Secure Computing as Threats EvolveSymantec
Symantec’s 2014 Internet Security Threat Report shows a marked decrease in many forms of malware and product vulnerabilities, plus faster responses to zero-day attacks. Symantec is blocking more attacks, more quickly, each year.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

• Weight
• Time slept
• Glucose levels
• Blood pressure
• Exposure to sunlight
• Teeth brushing habits
• And more…
As more of our personal information travels the
Internet what will become of it?
