As these industries evolve and become more digitized, attackers have the opportunity to access more data than ever before.

Wipers continue to trend upward as adversaries begin to realize the futility of purely destructive attacks.

Wiper attacks include attacks like data destruction and access mining.

Access mining is a tactic where an attacker leverages the footprint and distribution of commodity malware and uses it to mask a hidden agenda of selling system access to targeted machines on the dark web.

Attackers will continue to evolve their attack behaviors and defenders must shift their thinking but also their people, processes, and technologies to deal with them.
