Threat Landscape

This article highlights the critical importance of reducing the Cyber Risk Index, presenting findings that establishes a significant correlation between higher Risk Indices and increased susceptibility to ransomware infections.

The increased adoption of technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), large language models (LLMs), and high-performance computing (HPC) underscores the growing need to prioritize the security of graphics processing units (GPUs).

This report looks into the notable email threats of 2023, including the 45,261,542 high-risk email threats we detected and blocked using the Trend Micro™ Cloud App Security solution, also referred to as Trend Vision One™ — Email and Collaboration Protection solution, which is part of the Trend Vision One Email and Collaboration Security suite.

2024 is poised to be a hotbed for new challenges in cybersecurity as the economic and political terrains continue to undergo digitization and enterprises increasingly leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), the cloud, and Web3 technologies. While these innovations are expected to lend a hand to organizations, they also provide opportunities for cybercriminals by promising big returns, more streamlined operations on wider impact zones, and more targeted victims.

We discuss proof-of-concept rootkits and malware used by cybercriminals in conjunction with Berkeley Packet Filtering (BPF), a piece of technology that allows programs to execute code in the operating systems of popular cloud-computing platforms. We also show how to detect such threats.

In this first installment in our series on the challenges of the cybersecurity industry, we explore the underlying causes of the workforce gaps that have long plagued SOC teams.

Enterprises and organizations are facing a period of transition and uncertainty – malicious actors will hunker down and reuse tried-and-tested tools and techniques.

In 2022, decision-makers will have to contend with threats old and new bearing down on the increasingly interconnected and perimeterless environments that define the postpandemic workplace.

Les événements sismiques de 2020 ont apporté des changements durables dans les environnements de travail du monde entier et ont ouvert de nouvelles voies dont les cybercriminels peuvent user et abuser.
