About Book

The Global Cyber-Vulnerability Report presents a comprehensive analysis of cyber vulnerabilities across 44 countries, based on an extensive dataset provided by Symantec. The authors analyzed over 20 billion telemetry reports, including malware and binary reputation data, collected from more than four million machines annually over a two-year period. The report quantifies each country's cyber-vulnerability by examining metrics such as the average number of attacks per host and the percentage of infected hosts. Additionally, it explores correlations between cyber-vulnerability and factors like piracy rates and GDP. The book also reviews existing cybersecurity policies of the analyzed countries and identifies gaps, offering insights into potential improvements. Despite being published in 2015, the methodologies and findings of this report remain pertinent. The approach of leveraging large-scale telemetry data to assess national cyber-vulnerabilities provides valuable insights for understanding and mitigating current cyber threats. The identified correlations between cyber-vulnerability and socio-economic factors continue to inform policy development and strategic planning in cybersecurity.The Global Cyber-Vulnerability Report is a seminal work that offers a data-driven perspective on global cybersecurity challenges. Its in-depth analysis and comprehensive datasets make it a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and professionals in the cybersecurity field. The book's insights into the relationship between national policies, economic indicators, and cyber-vulnerability provide a foundation for developing more effective cybersecurity strategies.
