A WORD FROM BILL
The cybersecurity industry is a unique
community. Although we may offer
different methods to achieve a secure
outcome, we share similar values, objectives
and an overall duty to protect others.
For SonicWall, that means offering
powerful but cost-effective security solutions
for small- and medium-sized businesses
(SMBs), enterprises and government agencies.
But we also understand the power of shared
knowledge. Collaboration is critical. Dialogue is vital.
Awareness is our lifeblood.
We publish the annual SonicWall Cyber Threat Report
to promote this communal ideology. I’m confident you’ll
find this threat intelligence and research valuable in your
pursuit to safeguard your own businesses, customers,
networks and data.
Our team has been on the front lines of the cyber arms
race for 27 years. We will never relent from that cause.
We stand by your side with a common mission: a safer
online landscape. That’s our commitment to you.
More business. Less fear.

DECODING THE
CYBER ARMS RACE
Even for organizations, businesses and governments,
a cyberattack is personal. At its very core, they
strip these establishments and employees of their
identities, intellectual property, privacy, reputation
and monetary assets.
In the end, the victims are always human — whether
they are the leadership at large enterprises, smallbusiness owners who have been extorted, or just a
single innocent contact in a massive data dump on
the dark web.
As SonicWall has documented through the
years, the cyber arms race does not discriminate
or differentiate. If a network, identity, device or
data is valuable — particularly information tied to
intellectual property, financials, sensitive files, critical
infrastructure or political leverage — cybercriminals
will identify, target and ruthlessly attack.
To promote global awareness and facilitate
important dialogues, SonicWall remains steadfast
in its commitment to research, analyze and
share threat intelligence via the 2019 SonicWall
Cyber Threat Report.
The unification, analysis and visualization of these
threats will empower these groups to fight back
with more authority, determination and veracity
than ever before.
To promote global awareness and
facilitate important dialogues,
SonicWall remains steadfast in its
commitment to research, analyze
and share threat intelligence.
