What are the main initial access vectors for malware in 2024?
In 2024, the primary initial access vectors for malware included valid credentials, browser-sourced threats, and email. Valid credentials were the most common, often exploited due to their availability on the Dark Web. Browser-based malware accounted for 70% of malware cases analyzed, while email access, although still significant, has been declining.
How are ransomware attacks evolving in 2025?
As we approach 2025, ransomware attacks are expected to increase, particularly those targeting out-of-scope endpoints and utilizing browser-based threats. There is also a projected rise in politically motivated cyberattacks that aim to disrupt internet access, alongside a continued focus on abusing certificate authorities.
What strategies can organizations implement to defend against initial access threats?
Organizations should focus on several strategies, including conducting regular phishing and security awareness training, implementing comprehensive endpoint protection, using phish-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA), and deploying Dark Web Monitoring services to detect compromised credentials early. Additionally, maintaining an accurate asset inventory and prioritizing the remediation of actively exploited vulnerabilities is crucial.
