Ahead of the Curve: Kaspersky’s projections for 2024’s Advanced Threats Landscape – CRN

The rise of AI tools will enhance spear-phishing, mobile device and smart devices exploits will intensify, and hacktivism will increase amid geopolitical tensions, according to researchers at Kaspersky. They predict an increase in state-sponsored cyberattacks, growing numbers of hack-for-hire groups, increased use of kernel rootkits, and advanced attacks on Managed File Transfer systems. The researchers suggest that robust cybersecurity measures and awareness are vital for defence.
