Microsoft’s Security Intelligence Report volume 16 (SIRv16) was released today, providing threat trends on malware encounter rates, infection rates, vulnerabilities, exploits, and more for 110 countries/regions worldwide. The report is designed to help IT and security professionals better protect themselves and their organizations from cyberattacks.
Malware data is gathered from the Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT), which is used to calculate the infection rate (Computers Cleaned per Mille (CCM), and our real-time protection products are used to derive the encounter rate. One of the more notable findings included in the report was an increase in worldwide infection rates and encounter rates. About 21.2 percent of reporting computers encountered malware each quarter in 2013. We also saw an infection rate of 11.7 CCM.
