The company claims to have the largest dedicated threat intelligence network in the world. Norse’s live cyber attack map may be the most comprehensive one available to the public.

Once a threat is identified and the corresponding C&C server has been located, they can take steps to combat the specific attack, rather than trying to block all botnet attacks in general. This map can help cybersecurity professionals protect their systems from botnet attacks and respond much faster to attacks that do happen.

Trend Micro doesn’t release any data about how often their map is updated, but they do watch trends over each two-week period, so the data probably isn’t much older than that. Trend Micro’s cyber attack map tracks botnet activity across the internet and identifies the Command and Control (C&C) servers orchestrating the attacks. The biggest attack of this type was in October 2016, when a botnet-enabled direct denial of service (DDoS) attack crippled most of the internet. Network Security Best Practicesīotnet attacks -attacks orchestrated by hackers but carried out by a series of bot programs - are becoming more common as tech-savvy hackers take advantage of internet of things (IoT) devices that don’t always have the best security.
