What are the primary methods of initial access for cyberattacks?
Threat actors often gain initial access by tricking employees into downloading malware or compromising third-party vendor accounts. The most common initial access methods include valid credential abuse, browser-sourced threats, and email. In 2024, valid credentials were the leading access vector, while browser-based methods accounted for 70% of malware cases analyzed.
How are ransomware attacks evolving?
As we move into 2025, ransomware attacks are expected to increase, particularly against various industries. Notably, there is a shift from email-based attacks to browser-based threats. Additionally, many ransomware incidents are originating from out-of-scope endpoints, highlighting the need for organizations to enhance their security measures to address these evolving tactics.
What strategies can organizations implement to mitigate cyber risks?
Organizations should focus on 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, minimizing unauthorized access.
