2024H1 Threat Review<\/h1>\n

Perils in the Periphery<\/h2>\n

Vulnerabilities, Threat Actors and Ransomware in the Unmanaged Perimeter<\/h4>\n

New threat actors have emerged. So have new techniques. Forescout Research \u2013 Vedere Labs widens its lens with a macro look at the most pressing cybersecurity risks of the year so far. From digital extortion to state-sponsored intrusions, we find threat patterns and isolate changes in cyber attack behavior. Most importantly, we can see how and where they are doing it. Right now, it is happening in your unmanaged network perimeter via VPNs and network appliance vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

Which VPN vendors? Who are the threat actors? Which countries and industries are most targeted? See all. Know more.<\/p>\n

Industries Most Targeted <\/h3>\n<\/h2>\n

The top 10 targeted industries remain the same as last year with minor shifts in ranking. For example, healthcare used to be fifth and is now seventh. Government, financial services, technology, telecommunications, and healthcare are the Top 5. Interestingly, financial services dropped 36% from 20231H. <\/p>\n
