The term "new normal" is thrown around a lot. Ways of work have fundamentally changed as organizations embrace work-from-home and hybrid work models, motivating threat actors to adopt a different breed of "new normal" in efforts to adapt. In this blog, findings from a Deep Instinct report on threat landscape trends are shared in the context of what that means to the organizations in their crosshairs. Read the blog for an overview and get in touch to discuss how Incipient Corp. can help your organization thrive in the era of hybrid work.
What is the current state of the cyber threat landscape?
The cyber threat landscape has significantly transformed as organizations have adapted to remote work models. A report from Deep Instinct indicates that cybercriminals are also adjusting their strategies, leading to an increase in supply chain attacks and a focus on high-profile incidents. Notably, cybersecurity incidents surged from 5,000 per week in February 2020 to over 200,000 per week by late April 2021.
What are supply chain attacks?
Supply chain attacks involve compromising a target to spread malicious code to a broader range of unsuspecting victims. These attacks have traditionally been associated with nation-state actors, but there is a growing trend of cybercriminals adopting this tactic. While they require patience and sophistication, their potential impact can be substantial.
How are organizations responding to evolving cyber threats?
Organizations need to actively rethink their cybersecurity strategies to keep pace with evolving threats. This includes recognizing the increased risk associated with remote work and cloud services, as well as investing in robust defenses against sophisticated attack techniques. Proactive measures are essential to stay ahead of potential vulnerabilities and maintain effective cybersecurity.
