SISA Top 5 Forensics-driven Learnings 2020

As the world moves ahead in its digital transformation journey, the cyber threat landscape started becoming sophisticated. Threat actors are behind organizations to exploit vulnerabilities and disrupt operations.

Thousands of financially motivated cyberattacks are taking place every year, and the global average cost for data breaches has reached to nearly 3.9 million USD between 2019 and 2020.

To add to the existing problems, the current COVID-19 situation made things even vulnerable, as global organizations started embracing work from home solutions and turn to cloud-based tools. The mass remote working movement became an opportunity to threat actors.
