What the past year tells us about our cybersecurity future
- By Kevin Mandia, strategic advisor, Google Cloud
Threat actors facing fewer consequences. Attackers accelerating the rate of offensive innovation. Ransomware evolving to data theft, to extortion, to potentially even now harassment. Boards of directors engaging more in cybersecurity, and private enterprises and public organizations cooperating more to advance security practices.
These trends were the hallmarks of the past year in cybersecurity, sourced from our 900 or so security consultants and more than 400 threat intelligence analysts based in 28 countries. They participated in more than 1,170 intrusion investigations in 65 countries, and tracked 719 new threat groups.
