the past 12 months and on how we can better ourselves in the coming year.

Astaro, Sophos Network Security, urge you to consider committing to resolutions that will help secure your personal and business networks. Below are some suggestions for resolutions:

1. I will not access the Internet without up to date malware protection and an installed firewall and antivirus.

Why? Last year 150,000 malware attacks were registered daily! If only everybody would install sufficient security software, this threat would be minimalized.

2. I will not click on tinyURLs, hyperlinks or links of unknown origin without investigating first.

Why? Even if you think you know the sender or the site, this won’t guarantee your safety. 80% of these URLs stem from former legitimate pages, which were either hacked or infected.

3. I will update my security software package regularly and with a watchful eye!

Why? Fake antivirus software and SEO poisoning are the number one way malware is spread. Therefore stay alert and don’t blindly install updates, make sure they are from your provider. Otherwise, you are opening the door for new security breaches.

4. I will not wait until my laptop is stolen or lost before I encrypt data!

Why? Loss or theft of hardware makes up 30% of all data loss scenarios. Do your best to physically protect your hardware, but also make sure information is encrypted in case these precautions fail.

5. I will stop using “password” as my password

Why? In 2011, passwords such as “password”, “123456”, “qwerty” and “abc123” were still topping the most used passwords list*. Moreover, 67% of all mobile device users haven’t installed any password protection at all. A secure password can go a long way towards protecting your data.

Now, with the Internet traffic mix always changing and new applications, particularly in the mobile space, constantly appearing in the market, it is time for something new: Internet Observatory traffic statistics are available live, 24 hours a day, with long-term views instead of just a snapshot.

cybercriminals taking advantage of the news story, and the general public’s seeming interest in viewing ghoulish photos and videos of his last moments.

samples every day. That’s a 60% increase as compared to malware analyzed in 2010.

Twice a year Sophos publishes its Security Threat Report. Included within this document is the treat scenario statistics, which evolved very dynamic in the first six months in 2011. The numbers once more highlight the importance of reliability in terms of successful IT security and gives you a compact insight into the threat landscape of the first six months in 2011. Since the start of the year, SophosLabs has seen 150,000 malware samples every day. That’s a 60% increase as compared to malware analyzed in 2010.

SophosLabs have also seen 19,000 new malicious URLs each day in the first half of this year. This makes a new internet threat every 4.5 seconds. Even worse, 80% of those URLs are legitimate websites that were hacked or compromised. Another focus of the survey is the fast growing usage of mobile devices, whose security risks are commonly underestimated by now.

 do so by an ever growing e-mail flood. In real terms, this leads to mail server capacity problems. As a result, servers may become slow and unstable and ordinary maintenance routines can take a disproportionate amount of time – or users are forced to limit their e-mail volume and thus store their e-mails in PST-files locally, that are not backup up and therefore are into a continuous risk.
