Cyberattacks have become so rampant these days that they are now considered a worldwide concern. Collectively, hacking activities will put at risk a total value of worth of data and infrastructure globally over the next five years.
Just about anyone with malicious intentions can become a threat. Hacking malware such as remote access tools and spyware can be easily . Other malware makers have even made their creations’ source code available for download and modification for anyone to use. Those with some computing experience can simply use these do-it-yourself (DIY) hacking kits and readily carry out data breaches, scams, and ransomware attacks. What’s more worrisome is that newer and more complex malware have even become more evasive, rendering conventional solutions such as run-of-the-mill antivirus and antimalware solutions simply inadequate.
To deal with these threats, organizations should consider protecting the different potential attack vectors that hackers can use. Companies should protect common entry points such as web applications and email servers and spam filters. They should also look to implement browsing protection to prevent users from inadvertently downloading and running infected files and programs. They can also adapt new malware disarm solutions that can deal with newer variants. For instance, the use of content disarm and reconstruction (CDR) as an approach to combat malware is rapidly emerging.
With evasive malware posing an immediate threat, it’s high time that organizations revisit their security measures and include more capable solutions.
Where conventional measures fall short
To prevent malware attacks, users often rely on antivirus and antimalware solutions. These applications are often installed on workstations and run silently in the background, checking for malicious files and processes that are found on a particular device. They can also be integrated to email and file servers to check the legiti ..
