The 2016 Global Threat Report analyses the most impactful cybersecurity threats with each section closing with guidance from the Forcepoint team on how best to address the outlined threats.
There are 5 main sections in the report that cover:
Insider Threat
- Internal incidents were the leading cause of data breaches in 2015.
- Accidental insider and employee negligence becoming increasingly prevalent in the last 12 months.
Advanced Threats: Special Investigations Case Studies
- The threat landscape has evolved from advanced threats to ‘aggregated threats’ that capitalise on the increase in the size and complexity of IT.
- We explore two case studies in the form of JAKU (a never-before identified botnet) and the Locky ransomware.
Web and Email: A Two-Pronged Threat
- We have discovered malicious content in email increased 250% in 2015 compared to the previous 12 months.
- Cybercriminals have changed the email threat landscape. We reveal a decrease in spam and a closely entwined web and email-attack surface area.
The Move To Cloud
- 2016 is set to be the year where more IT services are in the cloud than on-premise.
- As the popularity of the cloud increases, so too does its threat capacity.
The report also includes thoughts from our Office Of The CSO and relates to a real-world self-reflective case study of securing a cybersecurity organization.
