Several interesting trends are emerging in the cybersecurity landscape, particularly the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven malware, as well as the ongoing dominance of ransomware threats.
Threat actors have started using GenAI as part of their attack infrastructure, which illustrates the ongoing evolution of cyber-attack tactics.
AI-driven malware aside, ransomware continues to dominate, with RansomHub maintaining its top spot among ransomware groups. Check Point’s VP of Research, Maya Horowitz, says: “The rise of generative AI in cybercrime is a clear signal that organizations must invest in proactive security strategies to stay ahead of these evolving threats.”
It’s also clear that malefactors are leveraging all available technologies to enhance their operations, making it essential for entities to take a forward-looking approach to cybersecurity, including advanced prevention methods and comprehensive training for their teams.
These findings highlight the persistent threats posed by these malicious entities in the evolving cybersecurity landscape.
