What are the main initial access vectors for malware in 2024?
In 2024, the top initial access vectors for malware included valid credentials, browser-sourced threats, and email. Valid credentials were the most common, often obtained from compromised accounts, while browser-based methods accounted for 70% of malware cases. Email, although still significant, saw a decline from 22% in 2023 to 15% in 2024.
How are ransomware attacks evolving?
As we approach 2025, ransomware attacks are expected to increase, particularly targeting all industries. There is a notable shift from email-based attacks to browser-based threats, with adversaries also exploiting out-of-scope endpoints. Additionally, politically motivated cyberattacks are projected to rise, aiming to disrupt the physical infrastructure of the Internet.
What strategies can organizations implement to mitigate cyber risks?
Organizations should adopt a multifaceted cybersecurity strategy that includes regular phishing and security awareness training, comprehensive endpoint protection, and the implementation of phish-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA). Additionally, utilizing Dark Web Monitoring services can help detect compromised credentials early, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
