convenience to security customers, featuring real-time IP
reputation intelligence
- Report insights cover a variety of industries, attack patterns,
and trending techniques
Fastly, Inc. (NYSE: FSLY), a leader in global edge cloud
platforms, today announced the publication of its first threat
intelligence report, the “Network Effect Threat Report.” Featuring
data and insights gathered from the company’s proprietary Network
Learning Exchange (NLX), the Network Effect Threat Report showcases
the industry-leading accuracy of Fastly’s threat intelligence
capabilities and the effectiveness of Fastly’s unified security
platform.
The security landscape is ever-evolving, with bad actors
continually creating new attack vectors. To combat these threats,
Fastly’s Next-Gen WAF (NGWAF) uses SmartParse, a proprietary
technology that can understand the content and context of attacks.
SmartParse is able to quickly and accurately determine if a request
will result in a malicious action. Snippets of confirmed malicious
traffic are sent to Fastly’s NLX, which then distributes
information about offending IP addresses to every Fastly NGWAF
customer. This capability enables customers to preemptively block
confirmed malicious IPs before a request even reaches their
network. The shared threat data fosters a network effect, where the
collective intelligence of all customers contributes to stronger
security for each organization.
“By continuously analyzing the threat landscape and applying
that knowledge to the technology, processes, and mitigations that
Fastly offers to its customers, we’re offering valuable insights
into the threat landscape and what to do about it,” said Marshall
Erwin, Fastly’s newly-appointed Chief Information Security Officer.
“We’re leveraging multiple angles to provide actionable
intelligence, including our own vulnerability research, strong
intelligence partnerships with private/public partners, and data
analysis of the activities seen against our customers.”
The Network Effect Threat Report, published today, is the
first in a planned ongoing series of threat intelligence reports
from Fastly. The report captures information and insights based on
the unique data from Q2 2023 from across Fastly’s NGWAF customer
base and tagged by NLX.
The findings of this report showcase the strength of the NGWAF’s
SmartParse decision engine and NLX’s ability to provide preemptive
protection across our customer base. The IP threat intelligence in
NLX, which powers the NGWAF and the new threat report, are sourced
from over 90,000 application and API endpoints and 4.1 trillion
requests inspected per month1. Global traffic encompassed diverse
industries, including High Technology, Financial Services,
Commerce, Education, and Media & Entertainment. Top highlights
from the report include:
- Multi-customer attacks: 69% of IPs tagged by NLX
targeted multiple customers, and 64% targeted multiple
industries.
- Targeted Industries: The High Tech industry was targeted
the most, accounting for 46% of attack traffic tagged by NLX.
- Trending Techniques: While SQL injection is a
popular attack choice (27%), attackers are favoring traversal
techniques, which make up nearly one-third (32%) of attacks
analyzed.
“This report directly reflects the benefits of NLX’s network
effect for our customers, which ensures they gain immediate
awareness of potentially threatening IPs,” said Simran Khalsa,
Staff Security Researcher at Fastly. “These attacks are not as
targeted or siloed as people might think. The breadth of our
customer base and their traffic means we can offer a higher-quality
threat feed that allows teams to respond with greater confidence,
especially since it’s happening in near real-time.”
The threat intelligence research and product capabilities
featured in this report are just a few features of Fastly’s unified
security platform. In contrast to legacy and point product
solutions, which can create challenges for security professionals
that outweigh the protection they offer, Fastly’s unified platform
secures organizations through protection at the application layer
along with a secure-by-design network layer and serverless edge
compute environment. From DDoS and bot management to real-time
platform-wide observability and Managed Security Services, Fastly’s
platform makes it easy for security professionals to protect their
organizations without slowing them down, and for developers to
safely innovate without barriers.
Fastly’s threat intelligence capabilities and unified security
platform will be showcased at Black Hat, August 9-10, in Las Vegas.
Fastly can be found at Booth #2660. To find out more about what
