NTT's 2020 Global Threat Intelligence Report (GTIR) highlights advancements in cybercriminals' attack methods, which are presenting significant challenges for organizations. According to the global technology service company, remote code execution and injection were the most common methods used by malicious actors in 2019. These methods remain effective because of organizations' inadequate practices surrounding the configuration of networks, operating systems, and applications. Organizations' testing and maintenance of security controls are also lacking. This article continues to discuss key findings from the report in relation to the most common attack methods, the weaponization of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the sector most targeted by cybercriminals, and the exploitation of the current global crisis in the launch of cyberattacks.
