Respondents believe threat actors are most concerned about traffic analysis, followed closely by deception technology and next-generation firewalls, IDS, SIEMs, EDR/next-generation AV, IAM and UEBA. This shift is likely due to attackers becoming increasingly savvy at understanding the weaknesses of traditional security controls.

Organizations are shifting their strategy by deploying new technologies like deception technology for closing detection gaps and efficiently covering attack surfaces such as endpoint, cloud, and inter-connected OT environments.

Despite significant investments in prevention solutions, malware and ransomware continue to top the list of attacks that concern defenders, increasing 5% to 66% from last year.

This result indicates that anti-virus, firewalls, and other prevention technologies still struggle to detect and stop attacks and that different detection solutions and/or organizations need more layers of defense to halt these attacks.

"Much of this year's research indicates a continued demand for in-network detection that works reliably across existing and emerging attack surfaces and is effective against all attack vectors," said Carolyn Crandall, Chief Deception Officer at Attivo Networks.
