Quarterly Threat Insights Report , providing analysis of real-world attacks against customers worldwide . The report found that 29 % of malware captured was previously unknown – due to the widespread use of packers and obfuscation techniques by attackers seeking to evade detection . Eighty-eight percent of malware was delivered by email into users ’ inboxes , in many cases having bypassed gateway filters . It took 8.8 days , on average , for threats to become known by hash to antivirus engines – giving hackers over a week ’ s ‘ head-start ’ to further their campaigns .
The report provides a unique glimpse into the behaviour of malware in the wild , as – unlike other endpoint security tools , which aim to prevent or intervene in an attack – HP Sure Click lets malware run , tricking malware into executing , while capturing a full infection chain within isolated , micro-virtual machines . This hardware-enforced approach to security renders malware harmless and keeps customers safe .
