Cyberattacks and data breaches will continue to arise because of credential theft, socialengineering (phishing, smishing, vishing etc), vulnerabilities in third party software and supply chain processes, forged or stolen machine identities, and misconfigured cloud computing. Digitaltransformation. Types of attacks.
2021 Research Highlights Growing Security Vulnerabilities Around Targeted SocialEngineering, Ransomware and Malware Attacks. Respondents indicated that socialengineering (75%), ransomware (74%), and malware (60%) are the most concerning attack vectors and are often used to exploit users accessing VPNs. Zscaler, Inc.
The Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) framework shows how to achieve digitaltransformation without compromising security, but organizations still face a number of difficult choices in how they go about it. Dangerous Detours, Potholes, and Roadblocks.
As businesses in every sector embrace digitaltransformation initiatives, adopting cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, automation, AI, and interconnected ecosystems, their attack surface widens exponentially. The idea that a secure network perimeter will keep the bad guys out has become obsolete.
With the ongoing movement towards digitaltransformation, cloud adoption, hybrid work environments and increased business interconnectivity, workforce identity tools have emerged as the new perimeter.
This will not only help better test the architectures that need to be prioritized, but it will provide all sides with a clear understanding of what is being tested and how it will be tested. Socialengineering tests Socialengineering is a technique used by cyber criminals to trick users into giving away credentials or sensitive information.
Attacks such as hacking, phishing, ransomware and socialengineering are on the rise. I remember when I set out in IT Architecture and was making the switch to Cybersecurity. Awareness about the Importance of Cybersecurity Cybersecurity is vital in keeping safe both organisations and individuals.
Digitaltransformation, proliferation of location agnostic technologies and immense data generation have created uncontrolled remote environments and a fragmented enterprise ecosystem, rendering legacy security policies and practices based on trust obsolete. Jenny Radcliffe, People Hacker & SocialEngineer.
Our digital world never stands still. We saw during the pandemic that digitaltransformation of all kinds can happen faster than we ever thought possible. I urge everyone who conducts workforce security training to share this anecdote along with phishing and social-engineering cautionary tales.
As part of risk management, deploying a Zero Trust architecture will continue to be essential for most companies. Once credentials are compromised, an enterprises entire network security crumbles, and with generative AI rapidly advancing socialengineering methods, typical defense measures for credential compromise wont be able to keep pace.
In 2023, 74% of all breaches include the human element, meaning people were involved through mistakes, misuse of privileges, use of stolen credentials, or socialengineering tactics. This includes legacy repositories deep in the architecture and new ones, in on-premises and cloud-managed environments.

This includes legacy repositories deep in the architecture and new ones, in on-premises and cloud-managed environments.
They can do that by leveraging security awareness training to augment their familiarity with phishing attacks and other socialengineering techniques. Digitaltransformation initiatives are in jeopardy because attackers are able to exploit wide gaps in machine identity management strategies.
On top of this, the consequences of rapid digitaltransformation due to the COVID-19 Pandemic created the perfect storm for successful ransomware attacks. Threat actors have developed socialengineering approaches that leverage the uncertainty and chaos of the pandemic in order to deliver their malicious software.

Navigating Cloud Security Challenges As businesses continue their digitaltransformation, leveraging cloud technology offers unparalleled advantages. Additionally, cloud services offer scalability and agility, allowing organizations to adjust their resources based on demand.
Zero Trust Architecture Becomes the Norm: Organizations will fully embrace Zero Trust principles, leading to better segmentation and control over data, even in hybrid and remote work environments. "The As APIs become essential to business operations and digitaltransformation efforts, they will likely become prime targets for attackers.
