The current and emerging cybersecurity threats facing businesses are constantly evolving

“Advanced persistent threats (APTs) are intricate and targeted, infiltrating networks for prolonged periods, aiming to pilfer data or disrupt operations. Internet of Things (IoT) vulnerabilities exploit the interconnectedness of devices, risking unauthorized network access.” 

Venkat Jaganathan, Director - Managed Services Delivery, AHEAD explains that current and emerging cybersecurity threats facing businesses are constantly evolving as attackers find new ways to exploit vulnerabilities. Phishing and social engineering tactics manipulate unsuspecting individuals into revealing sensitive information or executing actions that compromise security.

Comments Venkat, “Insider Threats arise from employees or contractors with authorized system access, whether through malicious intent, negligence, or ignorance of security protocols. Advanced persistent threats (APTs) are intricate and targeted, infiltrating networks for prolonged periods, aiming to pilfer data or disrupt operations. Internet of Things (IoT) vulnerabilities exploit the interconnectedness of devices, risking unauthorized network access. Cloud Security Risks emerge as businesses migrate to cloud services, confronting misconfigurations and data breaches. Zero-day exploits target software vulnerabilities before patches are available, challenging defense mechanisms. Moreover, AI and ML-powered attacks automate and amplify cyber threats, complicating detection.”
