Why Cyber Threat Intelligence Needs a Makeover in 2024: The Rise of Breached Identities
Understanding the cybercrime ecosystem in 2024 is crucial. Ransomware and data breaches are on the rise, often due to low-sophistication actors using infostealer malware. Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) can help businesses stay ahead by identifying high-risk exposures and emerging trends. Stay informed to protect…
Hot Take:
Why spend millions on high-tech cybersecurity defenses when a teenager with a pirated copy of Infostealer can bring your company to its knees? Time to stop chasing James Bond villains and start focusing on the real threats: your employees’ terrible clicking habits.
Key Points:
- Cyber threat intelligence has historically focused on major cybercrime groups and state actors.
- Low-sophistication actors are now responsible for the majority of breaches, often through social media and dark web forums.
- Infostealer malware is a major driver of breached identities, with over 70 million compromised identities currently in circulation.
- Breached identities sold on the dark web can grant access to corporate IT systems, leading to ransomware attacks.
- Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) is the future of cybersecurity, focusing on high-risk data exposure and actionable intelligence.
