The threat situation for companies is also becoming more complex this year. In addition to state-sponsored attacks - primarily from Russia, China and increasingly also North Korea - we are seeing more and more commercially motivated attacks that are carried out highly professionally using the CaaS model (Cybercrime as a Service). It is noticeable that the speed with which stolen data is offered for sale or exploited is constantly increasing. It is not uncommon for compromised accounts to be taken over after just a few minutes. Phishing campaigns, which are becoming increasingly reliable thanks to the use of AI, pose a further potential threat. Last but not least, criminals are increasingly using cross-platform malware that targets Linux and Mac OS in addition to Windows. How can companies meet these new challenges?
