What we learnt on cybersecurity in 2016

The threat of cyberattacks looms large over governments. To create a robust cybersecurity strategy for your agency, it helps to first gain a better understanding of the security landscape worldwide.

Microsoft has used data gathered from more than 600 million computers worldwide to put together an e-book on ten cybersecurity trends uncovered in 2016 - and why they matter to cybersecurity specialists. These include:

• Declining Java exploits, likely because of changes in the way web browsers now evaluate and execute Java applets
• Enterprise computers encountering malware at a lower rate than consumer computers thanks to stronger protection
• Adobe Flash Player objects were the most commonly detected on malicious webpages
