The German \u201cAllianz f\u00fcr Cyber-Sicherheit\u201d (Cyber Security Alliance) initiative has announced the results of its latest cyber security survey. One core message stands out: Malware almost always finds its way into corporate IT systems by way of email. <\/p>
The survey was conducted by the Federal Authority for Security in Information Technology (BSI) between the end of February and the beginning of March 2019 at roughly 1000 institutions. The period under review was the 2018 calendar year. For the participating organizations, infection through malware was once again the most common means of attack, accounting for 53 percent of the total. DDoS attacks and targeted hacking came in second with 18 percent and third with 12 percent respectively.<\/p>
