worldwide traffic patterns in real-time.

Internet Observatory is the successor of ipoque’s Internet Studies, which have been a reliable source for traffic information ever since they were first published in 2006. Although comprehensive, the studies were just snapshots of traffic patterns during a certain time period. 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.

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.
