A Trend Micro report predicts global organizations will emerge more alert and better prepared in 2022 thanks to a comprehensive, proactive, cloud-first approach to mitigating cyber risk.
Research, foresight, and automation are critical for organizations to manage risk and secure their workforce. 40.9 billion email threats, malicious files and malicious URLs were blocked for customers in the first half of 2021 alone – a 47% year-over-year increase.
Researchers predict that threat actors in 2022 will focus ransomware attacks on cloud and datacenter workloads and exposed services to take advantage of the large number of employees continuing to work from home. Vulnerabilities will be weaponized in record time and chained with privilege escalation bugs to drive successful campaigns, according to the report.
