Fortinets Q4 2017 Threat Landscape Report, just released this week, reports an average of 274 attacks per firm, which is a staggering 82% increase over the previous quarter. The number of malware families being tracked also increased by an alarming 25% in Q4, to 3,317, with the number of unique malware variants growing 19%, to 17,671.
