we see that the total number of DDoS
attacks in Q4 remained quite stable.
And we can predict that this trend will
continue in 2021,” said Alexey Kiselev,
Business Development Manager on the
Kaspersky DDoS Protection team.
To stay protected against DDoS at-
tacks, Kaspersky experts offer the fol-
lowing recommendations:
• Maintain web resource operations by
assigning specialists who understand
how to respond to DDoS attacks
• Validate third-party agreements and

made with internet service providers.

ing organizations’ shift to cloud-na-

The new Falcon Horizon CSPM capa-
bilities include cloud-native security
posture management for multi-cloud
environments, monitoring cloud iden-
tities for least privileges and ensuring
continuous compliance.
The new Falcon Cloud Workload
protection capabilities include broad
support for container runtime secu-
rity, identifing security threats prior
to running containers in production,
stopping threats when containers are
most vulnerable, during runtime and
uncovering hidden threats.
As people began to spend more time
online in 2020, it resulted in a boom of
DDoS attacks. And in the fourth quar-
ter, attacks on educational institutions
continued globally. Online gaming
services also suffered DDoS attacks.
However, in Q4 2020 there were only
10% more attacks than in Q4 2019.
And compared to Q3 2020, the num-
ber of attacks in Q4 2020 fell by 31%,
while Q3 2020 also saw a drop com-
pared to Q2.
Experts suggest that this can be caused
by a surge in cryptocurrency costs. As a
result, cybercriminals may have had to
‘re-profile’ some botnets so that C&C
servers, that are typically used in DDoS
attacks, could repurpose infected de-
vices and use their computing power
to mine cryptocurrencies instead.
This is further proved by KSN statistics.
Throughout 2019, as well as in the be-
ginning of 2020, the number of cryp-
tominers was dropping. However, from
August 2020 the trend changed, with the
amount of this form of malware increas-
ing slightly and reaching a plateau in Q4.
“The DDoS attack market is currently
affected by two opposite trends. On the
one hand, people still highly rely on
stable work of online resources, which
can make DDoS attacks a common
choice for malefactors. However, with

Closer to the application layer, the Nu-
tanix cloud platform now also includes
native ransomware detection for file
storage services within Nutanix Files.
File analytics, which is a feature includ-
ed with Files, now detects abnormal and
suspicious access patterns and identifies
known ransomware signatures to block
data access in real-time.
To further protect application data from
ransomware attacks, the Nutanix cloud
platform now includes new features
within the object storage solution, Nu-
tanix Objects. Objects includes more
granular permissions to access object
data for primary and secondary storage.
Specifically, Nutanix Objects now offers
the ability to configure Write Once Read

files and objects selected by an IT team
to help guard against unauthorized de-
letion or encryption of data, thwarting

and recover against ransomware attacks
across multiple cloud environments. At
a time when attacks are becoming even
more common due to the rise of remote
work, these capabilities make it easier to
implement security and business conti-

level, rather than rely on a complex ma-
trix of bolt-on security products.
