The first quarter of 2022 in #cybersecurity was more about evolution than revolution. The techniques and prevalence of #ransomwareattacks advanced while Russian cyberattacks continued a slow-building evolution fed by the continuing conflict in Ukraine.
The Trellix Threat Report states that the Russian cybercriminal groups have always been active. Their tactics, techniques, and procedures have not significantly evolved over time, although some changes have been observed. Lately, the threat landscape has changed, as multiple domains have partially merged. This trend was already on-going, but the increased digital activity further accelerated and exposed said trend.
IDC forecasts that worldwide cyber security spending will reach $174.7 billion in 2024, with security services the largest and fastest-growing market segment. The rise in cyberattacks, especially ransomware, has fuelled the cyber insurance market. Going forward, Employment of cyber security or information security analysts is projected to grow 31% from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations.
Critical infrastructure continues to represent one of the most enticing targets for criminals, worldwide, that exists in cyber warfare. This industry is plagued by legacy systems and riddled with trivial hardware and software flaws, configuration issues, and exceptionally sluggish update cycles. Yet, behind this façade, are many of the most essential systems we rely on, from fuel pipelines to water treatment, energy grids to building automation, defense systems and much more.
One often-overlooked area of industrial control systems is access control, part of the building automation framework. Access control systems are commonplace, de facto solutions which provide automation and remote management for card readers and entry/exit points to secure locations.

Technology has become a vital organ to run a business. The impact of cyber adversaries has grown beyond proportion and ensuring continuous protection has become a daunting task. Hackers are quickly evolving and following sophisticated trends to become more prolific. Cyberattacks are worsening and speaking in volumes. To stay ahead of these threats, businesses need to invest in SOC services. Today’s information and technology infrastructure is ridden with complexity, and organizations are mostly unable to monitor threats, prevent attacks, or scale and change as threats are growing in intensity with little or no prior intimation. Therefore, without the right technology, people, and threat intelligence, it is seemingly impossible to cope. Besides, traditional SOC faces a delay in incident reaction time, which allows attackers to dwell for a longer period thus becoming successful in attacks. There is a growing problem of rising cyberthreats and the increased number of security incidents has been to hire more people in the SOC and ingest more threat intelligence feeds. This approach actually slows down the response to new threats and has become significantly less effective in today’s growing threat landscape. Security operations centres streamline the security incident handling process, and are used to triage and resolve security incidents efficiently and effectively. The concept of the SOC was invented to enable ease of collaboration among security personnel in a time when cyberattacks were primarily manual in nature. Nowadays, machine-based, automated cyberattacks are the norm and are challenging the SOC models that worked years ago. All SOCs are tasked to identify, investigate and mitigate threats within an organization. A next-generation SOC is where information systems in the data centre, endpoint and cloud are monitored, assessed and defended against cyberattacks following a methodology that utilizes security enforcement points and threat research tools that integr

Kids today are digitally wired and interconnected. #Smartphones, video games, consoles, smart TVs, and laptops are part of a staple diet in the daily life of the kid. The number of smartphone-carrying kids is drastically increasing. Computers are a basic necessity at school and homes for projects, research or more. They frequently download apps and play online games. Social networks target them for business purposes.
A Sophos report says, among Infrastructure as a Service users, 56% experienced an increase in the volume of attacks on their organization when compared to the previous year, and 67% were hit by #ransomware. In addition, 59% experienced an increase in complexity of attacks.
For many of these users, a lack of visibility into their infrastructure, unpatched vulnerabilities and resource misconfigurations make them susceptible to various types of attacks, including ransomware. Of those surveyed, only 37% track and detect resource misconfigurations and only 43% routinely scan IaaS resources for software vulnerabilities.
65% of cloud users reported not having visibility of all resources and their configurations, and only 33% said their organization has the resources to continuously detect, investigate and remove threats in their IaaS infrastructure.
“It is imperative that security is prioritized as organizations continue to adopt cloud services. This includes implementing traditional threat-based protections, as well as risk-based mitigations. Unpatched vulnerabilities and misconfigured resources are both preventable mistakes and avoidable risks that make life easier for attackers. Most attackers are not unstoppable criminal masterminds, but rather opportunistic cyber thugs looking for an easy payday,” according to Sophos.
However, the survey also found that more advanced IaaS users are twice as likely to report a decrease in attack impact than beginners, suggesting the appropriate defense mechanisms can go a long w

There are rising #cyberattacks and cyber security incidents are a global phenomenon. The government is fully cognisant and aware of various cyber security threats. Apple, Meta, Twitter, and Samsung have all disclosed cybersecurity attacks this year.
The number of cyberattacks in India has recorded a steady growth over the past few years, and the total number as reported to and tracked by the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) in the current year stands at 12,67,564 (till November), the Parliament was told.
The corresponding number of such incidents in 2018 was 2,08,456 which increased to 3,94,499 in 2019, to 11,58,208 in 2020 and 14,02,809 in 2021, Minister of State for Electronics and IT, Rajeev Chandrasekhar told the Lok Sabha in a written reply.
Digital channels are not used just for shopping; consumers have started to learn, work, shop, entertain themselves, connect with others via video chats and even improve their well-being using online fitness and wellness apps. Even traditional in-person business services are shifting online, including medical consultations, education, legal and accountancy services.
The Minister said that with the borderless cyberspace coupled with anonymity, along with the rapid growth of the Internet, the rise in cyber-attacks and cyber security incidents is a global phenomenon and the government is fully cognisant and aware of various cyber security threats.
CERT-In is mandated to track and monitor cyber security incidents in India. In the recently notified cyber security direction, CERT-In has now made it mandatory for all incidents to be mandatorily reported to it.
The minister said that CERT-In operates an automated cyber threat exchange platform for proactively collecting, analysing and sharing tailored alerts with organisations across sectors for proactive threat mitigation actions by them. According to the analysis by CERT-In, the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses

The National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre in India, an organisation of the Government of India designated as the National Nodal Agency in respect of Critical Information Infrastructure Protection, has identified the following as ‘Critical Sectors’ – Power & Energy, Banking, Financial Services & Industrance, Telecom, Transport, Government and Strategic & Public Enterprises.
All of these, which provide services that are essential to the day-to-day functioning of society, are hives of the most sensitive and confidential data that threat actors can easily be monetised on the Dark Web, driving further cybercrime and disruption.
Unfortunately, the potential for widespread disruption has not gone unnoticed by cybercriminals. In India, close to seven critical infrastructure attacks have wreaked havoc for those within that industry – from the Oil India Limited ransomware attack in April, and in May on grounded SpiceJet flights, leaving passengers stranded for 4 hours, to Goa’s flood monitoring system in June and banking data breaches reported in August to the more recent cyberattacks on the AIIMS healthcare sector and resulting onslaught on Safdarjung Hospital in New Delhi, have left authorities understanding the need to prepare for an escalation in cyberattacks in future.
This focus on critical infrastructure is intentional. Cybercriminals are fully aware of the impact that any disruption has on vital services, not just financially but also on public confidence. For example, in utilities, you cannot expect people to be without electricity or water, which means companies are more likely to pay in the event of ransomware.
Hackers are also very observant and will strike during periods of unrest, for example using the ongoing energy crisis as an entry point for phishing or man-in-the-middle attacks.
Another common risk factor among critical infrastructure organizations is that they all have a hig

As per CloudSek, India, US, Indonesia, and China accounted for 45% of total #cyberattacks on government agencies worldwide in the second half of 2022 and the number of attacks on government agencies were up 95% year-on-year.
India was the most targeted country in 2022 with attacks on government agencies more than doubled. As India's digital prowess is expected to grow in 2023 driven by 5G technology, startups, semiconductors, electronics and computing, we can expect more disruptive events like it.
In 2022, #hacktivism accounted for 9% of the cyberattacks on the government sector. Hacktivism is a form of cyberattack where the hacker’s motivation is not financial gains but to promote a political agenda or protest against certain policies. Last year, attacks on China also increased due to its aggressive stance towards Taiwan and the Uyghur community.
Attacks on government agencies in China declined to 4.5% of all attacks from 13.10% last year. On the other hand, in India, US, and Indonesia, the share of all attacks grew from 6.3% to 13.7%, 7.4% to 9.6%, and 4.6% to 9.3%, respectively,
In addition to hacktivism, government agencies in India are also increasingly being targeted by phishing campaigns. As per CloudSek, ransomware groups were very active and accounted for 6% of the attacks on governments. LockBIT, which provides ransomware-as-a-service, was the most prominent ransomware operator. Its targets this year include government agencies in the US, Canada, and Italy. In November, a Russian national was arrested in Canada for alleged involvement in LockBIT ransomware campaigns in the US.
Cyberattacks on government agencies are not new. Many of these attacks are state sponsored and are aimed at stealing sensitive information or cripple critical infrastructure of other countries. Indian entities are often targeted by hacker groups with links to China. Similarly, many of the attacks on US agencies often originate from Ru

At a time when the global economy is fragile, we have the necessary tools to reduce at least one of the major threats to the global economy - cyberattacks. Our increasingly connected existence brings with it vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious actors.
Simple endpoint attacks became complex, multi-stage operations. #Ransomwareattacks hit small businesses and huge corporations alike. Crypto-mining attacks gave cyber criminals an easy foothold into company networks.
The report surveyed 270 experts around the world to understand the state of play and establish clear priorities for technology governance.
Despite calls for embedding cybersecurity by design, the low level of confidence in the security of connected devices expressed by experts in this report is a testament to the fact that we still have a long way to go in terms of realising trust in the technology we use.
The report calls for increased consumer education through digital literacy campaigns, standardisation practices of cybersecurity measures, prioritizing security by design and default (as opposed to reacting after the fact) and developing more agile policies to better address the quick-changing landscape of cybersecurity.
There is a state of urgency for protecting against cybercrimes, which would also improve individual security and protect small and medium-sized business, transit systems, and utilities—everything that relies on connected devices.
