Is cybercrime, once an annoyance, now an ever-present threat, next just a cost of doing business?
The evolution of malicious code, attacker motivations, and technical capabilities has taken us past malware and suspicious files into a much more complex and threatening environment. The threat is no longer malware and and suspicious files. It is about protecting memory, system registries, and lateral moves through virtual machines. Businesses are being held hostage by ransomware, hardware vulnerabilities are being exploited to slip under traditional security defenses, and advanced code techniques can sleep to evade sandbox traps and morph continually to defy signature-based detection. Will we reach a state where security breaches and data theft are just factored into the cost of operations?
