Security Boulevard, Thursday, October 31st, 2024
The already scary cybersecurity landscape of 2023 has only gotten more terrifying through 2024, as attackers use more proxies, residential IPs, and AI tools to perform attacks.
Below are the four most terrifying trends in the 2024 cyber threat landscape:
> Pervasive Basics: Simple attacks like DDoS and scraping continue to threaten businesses across the globe, as evidenced by the attacks DataDome blocked this year. Additionally, our Global Bot Security Report found ~⅔ of businesses are unprotected against basic bots.
> Detecting the Anti-Detectable: Bots are still evolving, and this year, anti-detect browser frameworks took the proverbial spotlight-or rather, learned how to avoid it.
> Automatic, Artificial Attacks: This was the year of generative AI tools coming out to play, leading to brand new kinds of bot attacks, hypercharged fraud, and easy robotic CAPTCHA solving.
> Compromised Commerce: With e-commerce pure players in the bottom three for bot protection per our Bot Security Report, holiday shopping is definitely at risk for businesses and customers alike.
