\nsecurity risks even before the pandemic hit and, as this report shows, the
\nadvent of mass remote working has increased the pressure of these threats,”
\nsaid Tony Lee, head of consulting at Trend Micro Hong Kong and Macau.
\n“Organizations need multi-layered defenses in place to mitigate these risks.
\nThese range from phishing simulations to advanced threat detection and response
\nplatforms like Trend Micro Vision One, which alert security teams before attackers
\ncan make an impact.”<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nin 17 key best practice areas related to ransomware and phishing, ranging from
\nprotecting endpoints from malware infection to ensuring prompt patching of all
\nsystems.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n\n
\ntackling phishing and ransomware.<\/li>\n
\npreventing home infrastructure from being a conduit for attacks on corporate
\nnetworks.<\/li>\n
\n37% believed they were highly effective at following 11 or more of the
\nhighlighted best practices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nfurther split the threat landscape into 17 types of security incident and found
\n84% of respondents had experienced at least one of these\u2014highlighting the prevalence
\nof phishing and ransomware. Most common were successful:<\/p>\n\n
\nemail compromise (BEC) attack – 53%<\/li>\n
\nmessages resulting in malware infection – 49%<\/li>\n
\ncompromise – 47%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nremains among the top vectors for threat actors. Although it can be the first
\nstage in a ransomware attack, it’s also used in BEC raids, or to infect victims
\nwith malware including info-stealers, banking trojans, spyware, crypto-miners,
\nand more. <\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nhas become a modern epidemic, hitting government, hospitals, schools and
\nprivate enterprises and any other targets deemed vulnerable to extortion and
\ncapable of paying. It results most often in both data loss and potential
\nserious IT service outages.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nissues flagged by respondents as most concerning were:<\/p>\n\n
\nphishing attempts landing in user inboxes<\/li>\n
\nusers clicking on phishing links or opening attachments<\/li>\n
\ndata theft via ransomware actors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nfor organizations including typical attack TTPs, effective mitigations and
\ncapabilities to look out for in commercial cybersecurity solutions.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\ncampaigns mean both are likely to intensify over the coming years. The report
\nrecommends that organizations embrace the following best practices to mitigate
\ncyber-risk:<\/p>\n\n
\nusing a risk-based approach to address the most damaging threats<\/li>\n
\nuse of password managers, tweaking policies, monitoring for credential breaches
\nand even using passwordless authentication<\/span><\/li>\n
\napproach <\/b>including user training, incident response processes and
\ntechnology like Vision One to detect and respond to threats early on<\/span><\/li>\n
\nbefore developing an incident response plan. Reach out to law enforcement,
\nmanaged services providers, your security vendors, and other key stakeholders
