Though the fourth quarter of 2019 saw a decrease in malicious activity, threats such as the Emotet malware continued to thrive, says Nuspire.
Organizations received a type of holiday gift during the fourth quarter of 2019 as the volume of malware and other security threats declined.
In its Quarterly Threat Landscape Report, the security provider Nuspire discusses the threats that marked the final quarter of 2019 and offers advice on how organizations can defend themselves against these threats.
"As an industry, we must stay diligent and focused on understanding what threat actors pose the biggest threat to your business, how they will attack you, and what safeguards you have in place to detect and respond to malicious activity."
"Unfortunately, 2020 will see the continued evolution of old, but tried and true, threats," Shawn Pope, senior security analyst for Nuspire, said in a press release.
