The cybersecurity landscape is always evolving, with threat actors constantly adapting their techniques to stay ahead. In this report, we provide up-to-date insights and analysis on the latest security trends and threats facing businesses and individuals alike, including:

  • The implications of AVrecon, which is an example of how router malware poses an enormous opportunity for attackers
  • Attack sizes, lengths, frequencies and vectors
  • Targeted industries for this quarter, including banking, which was the most targeted industry in Q3 2023
  • Brute force-style application layer attacks, which are on the rise with threat actors relying on credential stuffing and programmatic access attacks

Cybercriminals will continue to poke and pry at networks and applications to deny service or exploit data, so you need to be well prepared to stand up to any attacks thrown your way. You never know what the next big attack vector will be or which industries will be targeted, but one thing is certain: the best defense is to have a solid in-depth strategy in place.

Numbers you need to know for Q3 2023

  • The average attack size that Lumen scrubbed grew 54% year-over-year to 2.2 Gbps
  • Lumen mitigated 4,217 DDoS attacks in Q3 2023, down 23% from Q2 2023
  • Multi-vector attacks represented 35% of all DDoS attacks
