The rise of a generation of new hackers has propelled a boom in successful cyberattacks and data breaches over the last decade. This generation of "modern adversaries" has caused billions of dollars in damages in the last few years, and both the pace and danger of their attacks continue to grow.
This presentation analyzes modern hacker adversaries: who are they, how are they circumventing traditional security systems, and what can the information security industry do to detect and stop these new threats.
Over the course of a year, there were over 1 billion records compromised worldwide and 1,500 exploits, with 783 occurring in the US alone, representing a 28% increase. On average each month, companies see 17 malicious codes, 12 sustained probes, and 10 unauthorized access incidents. The average cost of a data breach is $3.5 million, a 15% rise. Despite taking a defense in depth approach, 66% of IT professionals say they lack resources to minimize endpoint risk and 67% say their organization does not account for the risks of the Internet of Things.

The document argues that as cyber threats become more sophisticated and organizations more interconnected, a traditional focus on security tools and firewalls is not sufficient - organizations need to develop a security culture that includes all employees to effectively manage growing cyber risks.
A security threat is a malicious act that aims to corrupt or steal data, Artificial Intelligence can prevent the disruption of an organization's systems or the entire organization.
The security perimeter for businesses has expanded as more devices are used for work purposes. Firewalls and intrusion prevention systems alone are not enough to protect organizations from modern cyber threats. Security professionals are most concerned about advanced persistent threats, targeted malware attacks, and spear phishing. While mobile threats are less of a concern, the risks of attacks from advanced threats and targeted malware are especially high in the retail sector due to past data breaches. Healthcare and financial sectors show more concern about targeted attacks than advanced persistent threats. Companies with chief information security officers demonstrate a deeper understanding of advanced persistent threats and targeted attacks.
Cybersecurity has become more important as the number of internet-connected devices increases and cybercrime costs rise significantly. It is estimated that cybercrime costs will reach $6 trillion in 2021 and $10.5 trillion by 2025, equivalent to the global illegal drug trade. One major threat is ransomware attacks, where malicious actors encrypt systems and hold data hostage until paid. As more devices join the Internet of Things, they become vulnerable targets, demonstrating the need for improved cybersecurity protections to curb worsening cybercrime trends.
The document discusses cybersecurity risks in an increasingly connected world where everything from devices to vehicles are connected to the internet. As the number of internet-connected devices grows exponentially, reaching 27 billion by the end of the year and 75 billion by 2025, these devices are vulnerable as many lack adequate security protections. Criminals profited $3.5 billion from cybercrimes in 2019 alone. The document outlines common cyber threats like hacking and provides tips to help secure devices, networks, and personal information, such as using strong and unique passwords, updating devices, and being cautious about downloading apps and sharing personal data. It stresses that as innovation brings new opportunities, it also enables new exploits, so vigilance is important to help protect
Hacking refers to gaining unauthorized access to computer systems or networks for malicious purposes such as stealing personal information like credit card numbers or identities. Hackers target systems to exploit security vulnerabilities in order to access secured networks and private information. Common reasons for hacking include stealing credit card or identity information, acquiring business secrets, or proving skill. Hacking can result in significant financial losses for companies and the loss or theft of private data.
Cybersecurity is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, networks, and data from malicious attacks. It is necessary to secure data from threats and safeguard systems from viruses, as hackers attack people worldwide every half minute and cybercrime costs are projected to rise from $6 trillion in 2021 to $10.5 trillion by 2025. Key elements of cybersecurity include application security, information security, network security, disaster recovery, operational security, and end user education, using tools like passwords, firewalls, antivirus software, encryption, and authentication.
Large organizations are vulnerable to hackers for several reasons: there are many potential opportunities for hackers due to increased internet usage; hackers have financial and competitive motives; and hacking can be discreet and go undetected for long periods. Additionally, large companies often lack regular monitoring for threats and many individual employees have poor cybersecurity practices like using weak passwords.

2021 Cybersecurity Recap: How Did We Fare Last Year? XNSPY
Cyberattacks, as it seems, are growing almost exponentially every year. the state of online attacks, c, and security flaws seem to be never-ending, and individuals and businesses have had to adopt regularly to combat these issues. the year 2021 has seen its fair share of cyberattacks and spying but, as the tech industry makes contingency plans to deal with them, we ought to know what the greater picture looked like and how to prepare in the new year.
The document discusses the evolving cyber threat landscape and the need for organizations to take a proactive approach to cyber security. It outlines how cyber attacks have advanced from disruptive worms to sophisticated, targeted attacks from well-resourced state actors, hacktivists, and criminals seeking intellectual property, money, or political goals. The threats are constantly changing and can damage an organization's reputation, finances, and competitive advantage. To address these evolving threats, the document argues that cyber security needs to move beyond IT and become a whole-of-organization priority requiring strategic engagement from boards and executives.
What Are Cyber Attacks All About? | Cyberroot Risk AdvisoryCR Group
Cyber attacks involve compromising computer systems and networks to cause harm. The rise in cyber attacks has been driven by more people working remotely during the pandemic using unsecured networks, making systems easier to hack. Research shows that businesses are becoming more aware of cyber risks and are purchasing more cyber insurance as a result. Statistics show that cybercrime costs over $1 trillion globally each year and the average cost of a data breach for a business is over $3 million. Certain industries like healthcare, energy, and finance are particularly at risk of costly cyber attacks.
As today’s world is widely dominated by the presence and usage of technology, it is undeniable that even in this field, threats are still rampant. Cybersecurity is the one responsible for putting shields in our technology-based transactions, accounts, and so much more. It protects our privacy, identity, and connections by serving as a barrier against threats such as hacking and scamming. Moreso, here are some of the reasons why cybersecurity is important. Let’s take these from Lode Emmanuel Palle, who is a rising cybersecurity professional.
Hacking refers to activities aimed at exploiting security flaws to obtain personal or private information without authorization. A typical hacker will identify a target system, gather information about it, find a security loophole, exploit that loophole using hacking software to access the system without authorization, and then delete traces of their access. Hackers target systems for reasons like stealing credit card or identity information, accessing business information, or proving their skills. Hacking can result in significant financial losses for companies and the loss of private data. Countries with the most hackers include the United States, China, Turkey, Russia, and others.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Big relevant Change in the world.
The 2016 Cybercrime Report from Cybersecurity Ventures predicts cyber crime will cost the world in excess of $6 trillion annually by 2021, making it more profitable than the global trade of all major illegal drugs combined.
It is a global phenomenon that does not leave anybody untouched.
Big relevant Change in the world
It is half the GDP of China.
Cybercrime costs include damage and destruction of data, stolen money, lost productivity, theft of intellectual property, theft of personal and financial data, embezzlement, fraud, post-attack disruption to the normal cost of business, forensic investigation, restoration and deletion of hacked data and systemsand reputational harm.
Big relevant Change in the world
Several time that of North Korea. Both countries appear to be very active in perpetrating cyberattacks.
Big relevant Change in the world
It is 12 times the gross gaming yield from the global gambling market
Do you know that you can be hacked? Not something outside you, something inside you.
Hundred of thousands – and possibly millions – of people can be hacked now via their wirelessly connected and digitally monitored implantable medical devices (IMDs), which include cardioverter defibrillators (ICD), pacemakers, deep brain neurostimulators, insulin pumps, ear tubes, and much more every day as technology improves.
45 trillion networked sensors 20 years from now.
MALWARE
By highlighting a shift in the world, you get prospects to open up about how that shift affects them, how it scares them, and where they see opportunities.
Our companies have some of the largest transactional platforms that exist on the planet. They are easily the target of increasingly sophisticated attacks.
In 2017 we have witnessed hackers taking malware to unprecedented levels of sophistication and impact. (ACR18p3)
And all it takes is for someone within your organisation to open the wrong file, or navigate to the wrong website. Entire gaming operations have been brought down simply because someone within the customer support team opened what they thought was the screenshot sent by a customer, which turned out to be a malicious file – ransomware – which paralysed the entire organisation. Have you heard of WannaCry? The attack that brought down the entire UK health system in 2017.
Currently every 40 seconds, a business falls victim to a ransomware attack. This will rise to every 14 seconds by 2019.
Stealing of high rollers information. Malware, inside threats. Buying employees out that make small money through salary.
Support opens screenshot sent from client that is complaining about the service.
Fraud. Hacker playing 4 out of 5 players in the game.
Repitation and information are your asset.
WEAPONIZING CLOUD SERVICES
By highlighting a shift in the world, you get prospects to open up about how that shift affects them, how it scares them, and where they see opportunities.
What we also noticed in 2017 is that adversaries are becoming more adept at evasion— and weaponizing cloud services and other technology used for legitimate purposes. ACR18p3
By mixing their encrypted traffic with that of legitimate cloud based organisations – like Google, Amazon, Spotify – they became virtually impossible to detect.
You have probably heard of DDoS attacks. These now involve an increasingly larger amount of traffic.
Burst tactics are typically aimed at gaming websites and service providers due to their targets’ sensitivity to service availability and their inability to sustain such attack maneuvers. Timely or random bursts of high traffic rates over a period of days or even weeks can leave these organizations with no time to respond, causing severe service disruptions. ACR18p32

INTERNET OF THINGS GAPS IN SECURITY
Plus we are getting into the habit of connecting everything around us.
Adversaries are exploiting undefended gaps in security, many of which stem from the expanding Internet of Things (IoT) and use of cloud services.
Microsoft predicts that data volumes online will be 50 times greater in 2020 than they were in 2016. 2 billion objects in 2006 to 200 billion objects by 2020 (Intel)
An attacker might have the ability to turn off life support systems in hospitals or take control of connected cars on the road.
WINNER AND LOSERS
THE CHANGE WILL CREATE WINNERS AND LOOSER
WINNER: have the essential, healthy life and cybersecurity strategy. Winners are those who know that it is just a matter of time before you are attacked. If you think you are safe, you a re delusional. You must be ready at all time to confront attack.
LOSERS: They think they are safe, that they have a tool that does everything for them.
The winners are those organisations that are confident that they have fully considered the information security implications of their current strategy and that their risk landscape incorporates and monitors relevant cyberthreats, vulnerability and risks.
Having put security at the heart of the organisation’s strategy, they have maintained and even enhanced the trust of their customers, regulators and the media.
By making cybersecurity a core part of their business strategy and culture, they have enabled the entire organisation to understand the risk they faced, embraced the innovation needed to counter those risks and had the resilience to regroup and restore operations smoothly and efficiently after a cyber breach.
LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE
Organizations need an integrated cybersecurity vision – one that brings together the various functions and dependencies with other parts of the organization, external key stakeholders and third party suppliers.
You will be able to go to sleep. You will be able to go on holiday.
WIZARD 1
The first step for organizations seeking to enhance their cybersecurity ability is to develop a better understanding the nature of the threat to them.
It will be impossible to build greater cybersecurity resilience winto the organisation without first identifying the causes of harm and how they might manifest themselves.
Spear phishing, rogue employees planted to undertake espionage, leveraging of security gapscreated by convergence between personal and corporate devices on the network.
WIZARD 2
With good cybersecurity hygiene in place it should be possible to prevent a very sizable proportion of common attackes.
For the next few years, patching known vulnerabilities and removing web servers vulnerability could be the most impactful actions for boosting your cybersecurity.
Implementing first-line-of-defense tools that can scale, like cloud security platforms. • Confirming that they adhere to corporate policies and practices for application, system, and appliance patching. • Employing network segmentation to help reduce outbreak exposures. • Adopting next-generation endpoint process monitoring tools. • Accessing timely, accurate threat intelligence data and processes that allow for that data to be incorporated into security monitoring and eventing. • Performing deeper and more advanced analytics. • Reviewing and practicing security response procedures. • Backing up data often and testing restoration procedures—processes that are critical in a world of fast-moving, network-based ransomware worms and destructive cyber weapons. • Reviewing third-party efficacy testing of security technologies to help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. • Conducting security scanning of microservice, cloud service, and application administration systems. • Reviewing security systems and exploring the use of SSL analytics—and, if possible, SSL decryption.
WIZARD 3
Employee awareness is a crucial frontline defence, building cybersecurity consciousness and password discipline throughout the organization.
90% of all attacks happen because of employee negligence: phishing attacks.
WIZARD 4
SOC are moving into active defence – a deliberately planned and continuously executed campaign that aims to identify and remove hidden attackers and defeat likely threat scenarios targeting the organization’s most critical assets
Crown jewels are the most valuable assets of an organization, must identify and protect well.
CyberHat’s SOC
The hackers point of view. If you think like the enemy, you will be one step ahead of the competition.
Everything from the first moment `[visibility of network, team monitoring your network 24/4, team optimizing your security tools, so you get th eright messages, the right warning, high level forensic experts, intelligence team (threat intelligence and hunting)]
Incidence response team, so if something happens you have someone that can help you the attacker. IBM can send you consultants at 500/hour and in one week. Extension of your team.
Combination of all capability in house very rare. Not many companies will have in house capabilities, the ones that claim they have it they a re subcontracting.
Developed internal technologies and methodologies that help us manage all these capabilities.
Core is people, Israeli army experience. Exposure make expertise and technology better every day.
Technology agnostic helps being up to date.
The road to the promised land is littered with obstacles so prospects are sceptical about our ability to deliver.
What is the best evidence that we can offer that we can make the story we are telling come true?
