The H1 2024 Threat Report highlights major trends in cyberattacks, showing a rise in both web and network-layer DDoS activity. Web application attacks were dominated by vulnerability exploitations, which accounted for the largest share, followed by access violations, data leakage, and SQL injection. On the network side, attack vectors such as UDP fragmentation, TCP out-of-state traffic, and DNS-based floods were most prevalent by volume. These findings reflect increasing diversity and intensity in attack techniques, with attackers leveraging multiple methods to disrupt services. Overall, the data underscores the need for stronger, multi-layered security defenses to address evolving threats and protect applications and infrastructure effectively.
