Cyber Predictions in 2019

Article Synopsis :

One of the biggest growth areas in the tech sector in 2018 was cyber. Not only security, but the number of attacks, including many high profile ones.

 The Digital Insurer reviews S21 SEC’s Report on Cyber Predictions in 2019

Cyber remains a major risk

2018 was a big year for breaches

Cryptomining had replaced ransomware for a good part of 2018 as more lucrative. Meanwhile, new malware played merry hell with some financial institutions, with a number of multi-million dollar breaches reported. These affected ATM networks, SWIFT transactions and other banking systems.

The risks are greater

The total vulnerabilities reported incurred by 21% in 2018, while total bug bounty payouts increased by 36%. The average payout per vulnerability increased by 75%.

Business has seen itself become more vulnerable and these need to be managed.

The type of attack is changing

S21 SEC says criminals are moving away from ransomware and predicts the incidences will decrease in 2019.

However, social engineering will remain the most relevant and deployed means of attack, including Word documents with macros and there will be more mobile device infection

Easy access via the dark web will mean increased use of commercial remote access trojans (RATs) to target mobile devices and there will be a growth in ‘fileless malware infections’.

Bad guys are getting more sophisticated

As businesses become more sophisticated, so do the attacks. Vulnerability Management has been one of the areas of growing interest across all geographies. Direct evidence of such growth is the increasing number of technology vendors and service providers dedicated to fulfilling this growth.

Access control bugs which allow attackers to manipulate direct object references to access other objects without authorisation were big in 2018.

AI is finding use in pen testing

Since 2017, demand for red teams to probe their security has increased, rather than relying on penetration testing alone.

AI is being used to develop penetration testing services that effectively mimic multiple human pen testers in a fraction of the time.
