Check Point Software Unveils Comprehensive 2024 Security Report, Highlighting Ransomware Surge and AI Defense Innovations
21 Fevereiro 2024 - 5:00AM
Check Point Research (CPR), the Threat Intelligence arm of Check
Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading
AI-powered, cloud-delivered cyber security platform provider,
released its much-anticipated 2024 Annual Security Report. This
year's edition delves into the increasing complexity of cyber
threats, with a special focus on the dramatic rise in ransomware
incidents and the strategic use of AI in cyber security defenses.
Reflecting on a year marked by significant cyber turmoil, the
report highlights a 90% increase in publicly extorted victims of
ransomware attacks. Such ransomware attacks now account for 10% of
all malware detected by Check Point’s sensors. The Check Point
Incident Response Team (CPIRT) observed that nearly half of their
cases involved ransomware, with the number of publicly shamed
victims soaring to approximately 5,000, doubling from the previous
year.
Key Findings of the 2024 Security Report include:
- Ransomware Evolution: Attackers have refined
their strategies, leveraging zero-day vulnerabilities and enhancing
Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) with new extortion tactics.
High-value targets are increasingly in the crosshairs,
demonstrating the need for robust defense mechanisms.
- Targeting Edge Devices: The report identifies
a growing trend in attacks on edge devices, highlighting the
critical need for comprehensive security measures that encompass
all network elements.
- Rise in Hacktivism: State-supported hacktivism
has escalated, with notable increases in cyber activities tied to
geopolitical conflicts. The use of destructive wipers for maximum
impact underscores the evolving nature of cyber warfare.
Maya Horowitz, VP of Research at Check Point commented, “In an
era of relentless innovation in cyber crime and accumulating
tensions involving nation-state threat actors and hacktivists
globally, organisations must adapt. Investing in stronger defenses
with robust AI-powered and cloud-delivered cyber security measures,
and proactively fostering collaboration, is key to effectively
safeguarding against these evolving dangers.”
The 2024 Security Report serves as a crucial resource for
organizations, policymakers, and cyber security professionals,
offering deep insights into attack trends and providing guidance
for strengthening cyber resilience. The findings are based on data
drawn from the Check Point ThreatCloud AI Cyber-Threat Map which
looks at the key tactics cyber criminals are using to carry out
their attacks. A full copy of the report is available here.
