Threat Library FAQs
Malware, or malicious software, is an umbrella term for any harmful program, including keyloggers, stealers, and Trojans. Ransomware, on the other hand, is a specific type of malware designed to encrypt data and systems, holding them hostage until a ransom is paid.
Indicators of a potential data breach include unusual network activity, such as unexplained spikes in outbound traffic, multiple simultaneous account lockouts, or unexpected changes to user privileges. You may also notice an uptick in targeted phishing attempts across your organization.
Threat Reports deliver aggregated data and proprietary research to provide actionable insights beyond the daily headlines. They help security leaders identify emerging trends, prioritize defense investments, and align their strategies to address the most pressing risks.
Leverage the library to prioritize your mitigation efforts. For instance, if a specific vulnerability is being actively exploited by a known threat actor, you can focus on patching that flaw across all external-facing systems as an immediate priority.
