In a year marked by unprecedented challenges and rapid digitalization, the cybersecurity landscape witnessed significant shifts, and India emerged as a crucial battleground in the fight against cyber threats. Here’s a closer look at the key findings from Trend Micro’s Annual Roundup Report 2023 for India:
This could indicate that threat actors are choosing their targets more carefully. Instead of launching attacks on a wider range of users and relying on victims clicking on malicious links in websites and emails, they’re targeting a smaller number of higher-profile victims with more sophisticated attacks. This might enable them to bypass early detection layers like network and email filters—which could explain the surge in malicious file detections at endpoints.
Commenting on the report’s findings, Sharda Tickoo, Director Sales, Large Enterprise and Technical Leader -Trend Micro, India & SAARC, said, “Our report illuminates the battlefield of cyber threats, offering businesses the strategic insights needed to armor their digital fortresses. Though decreasing malware incidents show progress, we can’t ignore the relentless evolution of the threat landscape. With the ever-evolving nature of the industry, particularly due to heightened application of generative AI, adopting proactive threat detection, deploying a unified cybersecurity strategy — which essentially shifts to a platform-based approach rather than relying on scattered, point-based solutions — and increasing awareness are key.
Trend Micro remains committed to empowering organizations and individuals with cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions, safeguarding against evolving threats in today’s digital world and advises security leaders to:
