Adversaries and defenders are both developing technologies and tactics that are growing in sophistication. For their part, bad actors are building strong back-end infrastructures with which to launch and support their campaigns. Online criminals are refining their techniques for extracting money from victims and for evading detection even as they continue to steal data and intellectual property.
\nThe Cisco 2016 Annual Security Report\u2014which presents research, insights, and perspectives from Cisco Security Research\u2014highlights the challenges that defenders face in detecting and blocking attackers who employ a rich
\nand ever-changing arsenal of tools. The report also includes research from external experts, such as Level 3 Threat Research Labs, to help shed more light on current threat trends.
\nWe take a close look at data compiled by Cisco researchers to show changes over time, provide insights on what this data means, and explain how security professionals should respond to threats.<\/p>\n

\nThis section examines some of the most compelling trends in cybersecurity as identified by our researchers as well as updates on web attack vectors, web attack methods, and vulnerabilities. It also includes a more extensive look into growing threats such as ransomware. To produce its analysis of observed trends in 2015, Cisco Security Research used a global set of telemetry data.<\/p>\n
\nThis section examines security trends affecting enterprises, including the growing use of encryption and the potential security risks it presents. We look at the weaknesses in how small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are protecting their networks. And we present research on enterprises relying on outdated, unsupported, or end-of-life software to support their IT infrastructure.<\/p>\n
\nThis section covers the results of Cisco\u2019s second Security Capabilities Benchmark study, which focused on security professionals\u2019 perceptions of the state of security in their organizations. In comparing 2015 survey results with those of 2014, Cisco found that chief security officers (CSOs) and security operations (SecOps) managers are less confident that their security infrastructure is up to date, or that they are able to thwart attacks. However, the survey also indicates that enterprises are stepping up training and other security processes in a bid to strengthen their networks. The study\u2019s findings are exclusive to the Cisco 2016 Annual Security Report.<\/p>\n
\nThis section offers a view of the geopolitical landscape affecting security. We discuss findings from two
\nCisco studies\u2014one examining executives\u2019 concerns about cybersecurity, and the other focusing on IT
\ndecision-makers\u2019 perceptions about security risk and trustworthiness. We also give an update on our progress
\nin reducing time to detection (TTD), and underscore the value of moving to an integrated threat defense
\narchitecture as a way to combat threats.<\/p>\n
