Cyberattacks and the threat landscape were analyzed in a recent report by NTT Security Holdings. From the disruption of fuel distribution to the interruption of emergency healthcare services, cyberattacks are no longer confined to cyberspace.

Report findings include:

The integration of technology into infrastructure and supply chains made sectors like technology, manufacturing and transport/distribution particularly vulnerable.
Attacks targeting cloud and Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms continued to increase. Web-based and desktop application threats accounted for a staggering 70% of attacks.
WordPress emerged as the most attacked content management system (CMS) software in the Americas, Asia Pacific (APAC) and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Attackers focused on high-impact vulnerabilities, with nearly 75% of them having critical- or high-severity CVSSv3 scores.

ON DEMAND: Business-impacting events such as severe weather, man-made disasters, and supply chain disruption are increasing in frequency and making impacts around the globe.

In today's rapidly evolving security landscape, organizations face an ever-growing array of disruptive events, security threats and risks. Traditional reactive approaches to security intelligence often leave businesses vulnerable and ill-prepared to anticipate and mitigate emerging threats that could impact the safety of their people, facilities or operations.
