Threat:
Attackers now use AI to craft hyper-personalized phishing emails and deepfake audio/video to trick employees.
Example:
A CFO received a voice call (deepfake) from a “CEO” asking for an urgent wire transfer—costing the company $250K.
How to Protect:
Threat:
Anyone can now launch a ransomware attack using RaaS platforms, encrypting your files and demanding crypto payments.
Example:
A manufacturing firm lost access to its ERP system for 6 days, despite having an antivirus—because backup files were also encrypted.
How to Protect:
Threat:
Attackers exploit unknown vulnerabilities in software (zero-days) or insert malicious code into 3rd-party tools.
Example:
A zero-day in a network monitoring tool gave attackers access to thousands of global networks (similar to SolarWinds hack).
How to Protect:
Use threat intel feeds to detect emerging CVEs
Threat:
Cloud apps misconfigured without encryption or proper ACLs leak customer data to the public internet.
Example:
An ed-tech startup exposed 1M student records via an open S3 bucket, later found indexed in search engines.
How to Protect:
Threat:
Employees or ex-staff using valid credentials to access sensitive data, especially in hybrid/remote setups.
Example:
A former IT admin logged in using saved VPN credentials, deleted virtual machines, and left undetected for 3 days.
