Cybercriminals are increasingly directing targeted attacks at specific organizations or individuals, says security provider Positive Technologies.
In 2019, the number of targeted attacks outpaced the number of mass attacks, showing that bad actors are adopting a more focused strategy, according to Positive Technologies.
For its Cybersecurity Threatscape 2019 report released Thursday, the security provider found that among all the cyberattacks launched last year, 60% were targeted attacks, while 40% were mass attacks.
Targeted attacks are also now higher on the radar of organizations as well as security providers.
Using such solutions will allow you to detect previously unnoticed attacks and monitor network attacks in real time, including the use of malware and hacking tools, exploitation of software vulnerabilities, and attacks on the domain controller.
