This includes both paying the ransomware and in the inherent network downtime resulting from an attack. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">IBM recorded 2.9 billion records leaked in 2017. However, their findings only apply to publicly disclosed breaches. The actual number could be much higher. Yet IBM contends that records breaches declined in favor of ransomware. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shellshock attacks declined 71% in 2017; patches have decreased that particular attack vector. Top targeted industries did see a notable decline in attacks and digital security incidents. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Injection attacks doubled in 2017, representing 79% of malicious attacks on enterprises. Other attack vectors included engaging deceptive interaction, manipulate system resources, manipulate data structures, and abusing existing functionality. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most injection techniques try to upload malware to enterprise networks without user interaction. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2154 of record breaches in 2017 resulted from accidental or inadvertent insider threats.

The SIEM Solution Provider also noted that many of the injection attacks involved cryptocurrency mining (<a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/protecting-against-cryptojacking-what-can-you-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cryptojacking<\/a>) attacks, which saw growth in 2017 and into 2018. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">SIEM solutions should be on the lookout for an increase of ransomware and ransomworm attacks, mobile malware, and cryptocurrency attacks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can download the full report <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/security\/data-breach\/threat-intelligence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<br \/>Widget not in any sidebars<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SIEM solution provider IBM Security recently unveiled the IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Index 2018, wherein they compiled and synthesized their global customer security event data from 2017.
