Supply chain attacks, misinformation campaigns, mobile malware and larger scale data breaches are just some of the threats to watch for next year, Check Point Software says.
Following reports of stolen crypto wallets triggered by free airdropped NFTs, Check Point discovered that attackers could steal such wallets by exploiting security flaws.
As organizations shifted to remote and hybrid work in 2020 and 2021, criminals increasingly turned to mobile malware as an attack vector.
Though created to help organizations test their security defenses, penetration tools have been exploited by cybercriminals to help them launch more effective attacks.
"Looking ahead, organizations should remain aware of the risks and ensure that they have the appropriate solutions in place to prevent, without disrupting the normal business flow, the majority of attacks, including the most advanced ones," Horowitz added.
"To stay ahead of threats, organizations must be proactive and leave no part of their attack surface unprotected or unmonitored, or they risk becoming the next victim of sophisticated, targeted attacks."
