EG Secure Solutions Unveils Latest SiteGuard Security Report for Q3 2025

EG Secure Solutions, a group company of e-Guardian, has released its Security Report for the third quarter of 2025, which draws on data collected from its cloud-based WAF, the SiteGuard Cloud Edition. This comprehensive report sheds light on trends in cyberattacks detected between July 1 and September 30, 2025.

The e-Guardian group has been dedicated to creating a safe and secure internet environment by offering a wide range of services related to online security, including network patrol, customer support, debugging, and vulnerability assessments. EG Secure Solutions has been particularly active in addressing challenges in cybersecurity, with its SiteGuard series of products achieving the highest number of cumulative site installations and corporate adoptions in the industry.

The latest SiteGuard Security Report presents detailed insights into cyberattack trends from five key perspectives: type of attack, monthly distribution, geographical origin, detection numbers by site genre, and multiple site attacks from the same originating IP address.

Key Findings from the Report

1. Types of Attacks: The predominant attack vector was SQL injection, which accounted for a staggering 52.8% of all attacks detected. This confirms SQL injections as a leading method of cyber intrusion, continuing from previous quarters.

2. By Site Genre: Financial institutions were the most targeted, comprising 0.24% of attacks, while e-commerce sites, previously in first place, fell to sixth. This shift illustrates changing patterns in cyberattack focus as access increases in certain sectors.

3. Malicious Bot Activity: The report identified that URL checks from malicious bots were most prevalent, reaching 61.4%. Many attacks aimed to access backup files with extensions such as '.old' and '.bak', highlighting significant security risks associated with these types of vulnerable files.

Insights into Attack Patterns

The report categorized the attacks based on various parameters, which include:

• - Attack Types: Detailed breakdown of the various tactics employed by cybercriminals.
• - Monthly Detection Counts: Showcases trends over the reporting period.
• - Geographical Origins: This section analyzes where the attacks are originating from.
• - By Site Genre: Investigates the variation in attacks across different website categories.
• - Recurring IP Attacks: Assesses instances where the same IP address targeted multiple sites, an indication of calculated and widespread attack strategies.

The analysis reveals concerning levels of vulnerability, particularly regarding the misuse of backup files. Attackers often seek to exploit these less secure files to gain access to source code or database credentials, leading to potential data leaks or other significant security breaches.

Recommendations for Web Security

To safeguard against these attacks, EG Secure Solutions recommends:

• - Eliminating Redundant Backup Files: Immediately removing or securing any unnecessary backup files with extensions like ‘.old’ or ‘.bak’ from public directories.
• - Periodic Security Assessments: Regularly auditing and hardening security measures across websites, particularly for sensitive sectors like finance.

As cyber threats continue to evolve, the SiteGuard Security Report serves as an essential tool for enhancing security awareness and measures among organizations. By disseminating this information, EG Secure Solutions aims to bolster public cybersecurity knowledge and ensure readiness against ongoing and future threats.

Future Insights

The SiteGuard Security Report not only highlights current issues but also points to changes in trends that may occur in the forthcoming quarters, providing valuable intelligence that can help organizations preemptively adjust their security postures.
