The “2024 Attack Intelligence Report” reveals critical insights into the evolving cybersecurity landscape. With a significant increase in zero-day exploitation, ransomware attacks, and mass compromises, organizations must prioritize security as a core business strategy. Zero-day vulnerabilities now outpace n-day vulnerabilities in causing mass compromise incidents, highlighting the importance of proactive security measures. Additionally, the exploitation of network edge devices has doubled, with a notable percentage being zero-days, emphasizing the need for robust defenses in these areas. Ransomware continues to be a major threat, with payments exceeding $1 billion globally in 2023. The report also stresses the importance of multi-factor authentication (MFA) to prevent incidents and recommends robust vulnerability management programs to minimize exposure to modern threats.
