The number of averted IT attacks is plateauing at a high level. This is reflected in the current threat report from G DATA CyberDefense. Numerous vulnerabilities that cyber criminals are consistently exploiting give cause for concern. For example, UEFI bootkits deactivate security functions and make systems vulnerable to attack.
