Cybersecurity Chaos: How Phishing Phenom and Ransomware Reign Supreme in 2024
Over 80% of cyber breaches are initiated by external threat actors using tactics like phishing, session hijacking, and ransomware. Organizations are under pressure to enhance their security posture and automate responses. Threat Intelligence Management and External Attack Surface Management are essential tools for bolstering security and improving threat response efficiency.
Hot Take:
Well, it looks like cybercriminals are doing their best impression of a bad penny — they just keep coming back! With organizations getting more tangled in their digital webs, it’s no wonder they’re finding themselves caught in a cyber storm. Maybe it’s time to swap out the old ‘security blanket’ for something a bit more high-tech. Here’s hoping TIM and EASM are ready to play superhero!
Key Points:
