FortiGuard Labs predicts the convergence of advanced persistent threat methods with cybercrime
From quickly evolving Cybercrime-as-a- Service ( CaaS ) -fuelled attacks to new exploits on non-traditional targets like edge devices or online worlds , the volume , variety and scale of cyberthreats will keep security teams on high alert in 2023 and beyond .
“ In 2023 , cybercriminals will continue to use triedand-true attack tactics , particularly those that are easy to execute and help them achieve a quick payday ,” said Rashish Pandey , Vice President of Marketing and Communications , Fortinet Asia . “ In addition , we can also expect several new attack trends leveraging deepfakes , Metaverse , Web3 and mixed reality ( MR ) technologies to increase .
“ To effectively defend against these attacks , organisations need to understand cybercriminals better , what motivates them , their tools and tactics and how they act ,” said Pandey . “ However , given the cyber skills talent shortage , organisations can consider adopting managed services to support the integration of security into the network and deploying automated response tools in addition to having a cybersecurity mesh platform .”
“ The acceleration of Digital Transformation , including the transition to the cloud , the rapid adoption of IoT and applications , is replacing the traditional network ,” said Nirav Shah , Vice President of Products at Fortinet . “ The corporate network must keep up with these remote connectivity demands and maintain consistent security everywhere .
“ To do that , businesses must tightly integrate their network infrastructure and security architecture , enabling the network to scale and change without compromising security ,” said Shah . “ This next-generation approach is essential for effectively defending today ’ s highly dynamic environments , providing consistent enforcement across today ’ s highly flexible perimeters and weaving security deep into the network .
