4 Cybersecurity Trends to Watch Out For In 2023

In a world dominated by technology, we have seen rise in cybera acks, both in terms of volume as well as complexity. The Sophos State of Ransomware 2022 revealed alarming findings that showed that 78% of surveyed organisa ons in India were hit by ransomware. In addi on, more than 90% of Indian organisa ons that were a acked said these a acks impacted their ability to operate and led to a loss of business/revenue. Over the course of 2022, we con nue to see cybera acks taking place at a large scale, domina ng news headlines, and crippling organisa ons for days.

Today, it is safe to say that with the commercializa on of ransomware-as-aservice, cybera acks are ge ng more brazen, and will con nue to evolve in 2023.

Here’s are some cybersecurity trends to watch out for in 2023:

Mobile devices are increasingly targeted: As mobile applica ons have become the dominant way in which people interact with the internet, mobile devices are at the center of a burgeoning range of new types of cybercrime. Not only are a ackers s ll using fake applica ons to deliver malware injectors, spyware and banking-associated malware, but newer forms of cyber fraud have been growing in popularity, such as “pig butchering” schemes. Today, both Android and iOS devices are increasingly being targeted by fake applica ons; what is worrisome to note is that criminals have found ways to use social engineering to breach Apple’s walled gardens.

Crypto-related scams will increase: The devalua on of Monero, one of the most popular cryptocurrencies for cryptominers, led to a decrease in one of the oldest and most popular types of cryptocrime— cryptomining. There is also a rise in cryptorelated mobile apps in the form of fake wallets that are used to scam investors. Addi onally, crypto-related scams are con nually shi ing and muta ng, swinging from fake cryptocurrency investment to fake crypto deriva ve investments, and into other fake financial markets.

5G will bring about increased cybercrime: The recent launch of 5G in India will be a game-changer for technology adop on in India. 5G technology, will improve on its predecessors with faster speeds, higher bandwidth and lower latency, which will likely make it more common than 4G ever

was. While the faster speeds definitely have their advantages for users, they’ll also cause disadvantages, since hackers will be able to exploit its speed.

A acks on the cloud supply chain will disrupt firms:

As enterprises con nue to move applica ons to the cloud, reliance on third par es and partners increases, which also raises the risk of threats via the supply chain. Log4J has already proven how numerous organisa ons can be impacted by a piece of dependent code that is incorporated into the so ware packaging process. There is already and increase in cybera acks using weak supply chain prac ces which will con nue in the near future, unless ac ve threat hun ng methods are deployed.

In light of the above, there is a strong need for enterprises and individuals to protect themselves and their data. Organisa ons also need to have a robust cybersecurity strategy in place, in order to mi gate threats, and prevent damage to the businesses’ reputa on and finances. Addi onally, proac ve response plan development allows internal teams to evaluate different response protocols and be be er prepared in case of any cybera acks.

A few best prac ces that organisa ons can implement are:

Leverage cybersecurity-as-a-service (CSaaS): Through this security model, outsourced specialists provide companies with urgently needed defenses and on-demand interven on. By outsourcing all security opera ons or augmen ng exis ng teams, organisa ons can ensure 24/7 threat hun ng, detec on and response capabili es. This is made possible through managed detec on and response (MDR), a core CSaaS offering.

Maintain good IT environment hygiene: Robust IT environment hygiene minimizes the likelihood of incidents occurring—so rou nely check your security controls and address any unpatched vulnerabili es, like open remote desktop protocol (RDP) ports.

Keep a hard copy of your incident response plan: Always have a physical copy of your incident response plan on hand. If your organiza on is hit with ransomware, digital copies of your plan could be among the files encrypted.

Today cybersecurity has become so complex that organisa ons cannot afford to handle it on their own. In order to mi gate threats, enterprises should work with a trusted partner to implement robust security strategies and build a secure opera ng environment.

Disruption: 3 Key Findings That May Impact Your Resiliency Strategy

This year’s results highlight that organizations have experienced higher levels of disruptions in the past year, with over 86 percent of respondents’ organizations experiencing at least one disruption in the last 12 months. This points toward a staggering trend of increasing data loss, downtime, and recovery costs.

Breaking down the overall disruptions within this year’s report, there were a few noteworthy take aways:

organizations’ data protection measures can mitigate the effects of cyberattacks is alarming. 67 percent of respondents are concerned that their organization’s existing data protection measures may not be sufficient to cope with malware and ransomware threats. This is further echoed in their organization’s ability to recover business-critical data in the event of cyberattack. Compounding this, there is a misguided over-confidence surrounding the consequences of a ransomware attack. 64 percent of respondents agree that their job and the employees within their organization will not be affected by a ransomware attack; another factor that could expose organizations to further risk. There is a need to account for the impending risk of cyberattacks that are becoming more sophisticated by each passing day. Cybersecurity strategy cannot be an afterthought and a reactive stance to attacks is only going to lead to incremental losses for the businesses.

Natural disaster, cyber-attack, scheduled data center maintenance: What do these have in common? They all cause disruption.

Disruption occurs for a variety of reasons, and whether planned or unplanned, Indian businesses need a strategy. Traditional Disaster Recovery (DR) approaches relied on an all-or-nothing attitude when a disruption occurred, with the limited ability to only recover the full site, not specific applications or application bundlers. With the increasing number of applications managed by IT and the increasing reliance on those applications by business users, it’s time to consider the strategy.

The Dell Technologies Global Data Protection Index is a survey of 1000 IT decision makers globally on the maturity of their data protection strategies and how they value data and assess the relative preparedness of their businesses.

With outages being so widespread and costly, businesses have started looking toward the next generation of methods to maximize availability for their users. 36 percent of respondents had experienced unplanned system downtime in the last year. This combined with other disruptions resulted in the estimated cost of data loss in the last 12 months to reach an average of $1,057,895. To combat these costly disruptions, a recent concept has emerged as a favorite of early adopters – application mobility. This methodology minimizes both planned and unplanned downtime by ensuring applications can quickly move between data centers, introducing true mobility. This could be executed to mitigate longer planned downtime or to recover from an isolated incident within the production data center, thus avoiding a longer outage or the need to failover to DR. One of the most critical steps in enabling application mobility is deeply analyzing the applications and their business requirements to better understand their use. Then, using this information, assigning an appropriate level of availability to each application or bundle.

The lack of confidence that the

Having a cyber recovery strategy in place to reduce downtime and recover critical data in the event of a cyberattack is essential. The drastically increasing threat landscape due to more applications, increased reliance on applications, and more connected devices has forced organizations to develop and thoroughly test their strategies. In the last few years, ransomware has been one of the most destructive and newsworthy variants of cyber-attacks, locking files and demanding ransom in return. Respondents to this year’s report noted this trend, indicating that 42 percent had experienced an outage due to a ransomware attack. These attacks can be difficult to recover from and require specialized planning and technology to keep critical data isolated and ready for recovery.

These data points indicate a strong trend of both an increasing number of disruptions and causes of these disruptions. It is clearer than ever before that a holistic, modern approach to mitigating disruption must take an application-centric view to minimize downtime, based on the criticality of each application to business stakeholders.

Kaspersky Launches New Online Course ‘Reverse Engineering 101’

IT professionals will be able to top up their skills, as Kaspersky has added its new ‘Reverse Engineering 101’ course to its ever-growing xTraining’s portfolio. It offers comprehensive knowledge, giving trainees the best start to their career in reverse engineering.

Cyber incidents top the ratings for the most critical business risks in 2022. To be able to respond to them immediately and protect businesses more effectively, it is important to study the malware code and understand how it works. This is the main task for a reverse engineer – a professional with solid knowledge of theory and tools, who can even deal with a heavily obfuscated code written in any programming language.

‘Reverse Engineering 101’ is a prequel to the ‘Targeted Malware Reverse Engineering’ training, a higher-level course already available in the Kaspersky Expert Training portfolio.

The course covers both theoretical fundamentals and practical reverse engineering cases. Starting from the basic concepts, learners gradually move through Intel assembly instructions, distinctive calling conventions and memory types, executable analysis and more, to finally reverse ‘real’ malware and solidify their knowledge and skills.

The well-structured videos and lots of practice on proprietary code snippets available in a dedicated GitHub repository provide effective learning. The on-demand online format allows companies to improve the skills of their staff without interrupting their work.

It will be valuable for IT professionals seeking to develop their reverse

engineering potential and prepare themselves for more advanced steps, as well as for companies and cybersecurity consultancies that need to train their team in relevant practical skills.

“Reverse-engineering is traditionally regarded as a very difficult skill to master, especially for beginners in the cybersecurity field. We designed this course with the hope of addressing this gap, so that participants would be able to get acquainted with this subject with no prerequisites beyond having some basic software development knowledge. Reverse Engineering 101 contains all the required theory, but at its core aims at providing practical experience first and foremost. We hope it helps many talented individuals join the cybersecurity ecosystem!”, comments Ivan Kwiatkowski, Senior Security Researcher.
