Check Point Research, the threat intelligence arm of Check Point Software Technologies, a provider of cybersecurity solutions globally, has published its 2020 Cyber Security Report. The Report highlights the main tactics cyber-criminals are using to attack organisations worldwide across all industries, and gives cybersecurity professionals and C-Level executives the information they need to protect their organisations from today’s fifth-generation cyber-attacks and threats.
The 2020 Security Report reveals the key attack vectors and techniques observed by Check Point researchers during the past year. Highlights include:
“2019 presented a complex threat landscape where nation-states, cybercrime organisations and private contractors accelerated the cyber arms race, elevating each other’s capabilities at an alarming pace, and this will continue into 2020,” said Lotem Finkelsteen: Major Intelligence Officer, Check Point Software Technologies.
Even if an organisation is equipped with the most comprehensive, state-of-the-art security products, the risk of being breached cannot be completely eliminated. Beyond detection and remediation, organisations need to adopt a proactive plan to stay ahead of cybercriminals and prevent attacks. Detecting and automatically blocking the attack at an early stage can prevent damage. Check Point’s 2020 Security Report shares what organisations need to look out for, and how they can win the war against cyber-attacks through key best practices.Check Point’s 2020 Security Report is based on data from Check Point’s ThreatCloud intelligence, a collaborative network for fighting cybercrime which delivers threat data and attack trends from a global network of threat sensors; from Check Point’s research investigations over the last 12 months; and on a brand new survey of IT professionals and C-level executives that assesses their preparedness for today’s threats.
The report examines the latest emerging threats against various industry sectors and gives a comprehensive overview of the trends observed in the malware landscape, in emerging data breach vectors, and in nation-state cyber-attacks. It also includes expert analysis from Check Point’s thought leaders, to help organisations understand and prepare themselves for today’s and tomorrow’s complex threat landscape.
