How did they arrive at this number?
Dell SonicWall Global Response Intelligent Defense (GRID) Network uses over one million sensors across the globe to collect data on emerging threats.
"We collected about 20.1 million unique malware samples in 2013, which is an increase compared to 16 million in 2012. That averages to about 55,000 new samples coming in each and every day," Dell SonicWall said.
Approximately 4,429 new vulnerabilities reported from CVE out of which 3,644 related with network attacks.
14 of the flaws were zero-day vulnerabilities. These were found in popular services such as Adobe Flash Player, Oracle's Java platform and Microsoft Internet Explorer
