The Rise of Cheap Infostealer Malware

Infostealer malware, which steals sensitive data like usernames and passwords, is increasing due to its ease of use and affordability as a “malware-as-a-service”. As a result, organizations need a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity, including real-time behavioural analytics and machine learning, advanced microsegmentation techniques, antivirus software, employee training, regular updates, network security measures, data encryption, access control, regular backups, network monitoring, and a robust incident response plan. Without these defenses, businesses face significant risk to their data and networks.
