Microsoft Digital Defense Report : OCT 2021
Over the past year the world has borne witness to a burgeoning cybercrime economy and the rapid rise of cybercrime services. We have watched this global market grow in both complexity and fervency. We’ve seen the cyberattack landscape becoming increasingly sophisticated as cybercriminals continue—and even escalate—their activity in times of crisis. New levels of supply chain and ransomware attacks were a powerful reminder that we must all work together, and in new ways, to protect the cybersecurity of the planet.
We see transparency and information sharing as essential to the protection of the ecosystem. Knowledge brings power, and to that end, security professionals need diverse and timely insights into the threats they are defending against.
Microsoft serves billions of customers globally, allowing us to aggregate security data from a broad and diverse spectrum of companies, organizations, and consumers. Informed by over 24 trillion security signals per day, our unique position helps us generate a high-fidelity picture of the current state of cybersecurity, including indicators that help us predict what attackers will do next. Our goal in creating the Microsoft Digital Defense Report is to bring together integrated data and insights from more teams, across more areas of Microsoft than ever before. We will share what we’re seeing to help the global community strengthen the defense of the digital ecosystem, and we will include actionable learnings that companies, governments, and consumers can use to further secure individuals and environments.
