Research by (ISC)² suggests the global cybersecurity workforce needs to grow 65%* to effectively defend organizations’ critical assets.
The Purdue Model for Control Hierarchy* describes six levels of critical infrastructure in a production environment and how to secure them. The Enterprise zone is the prime place for the bad actors to try to gain entry.

According to the Global Threat Intelligence Report, manufacturing experienced a 300% increase* in worldwide attacks in 2021.
Manufacturing organizations are getting smarter when it comes to cybersecurity. Unfortunately, so are the cybercriminals who are targeting them.
How can manufacturers prevent, detect, and respond effectively to these threat actors?
65%* of firms focusing on manufacturing, oil and gas, utilities and mining see cybersecurity as their highest priority for proper governance.

Ransomware is one of the most prevalent and disruptive forms of cyberattack in recent years and has grown into a multimillion-dollar global enterprise. In ransomware attacks, a threat actor breaks into a network and then deploys malware that encrypts files on business-critical devices. They then demand a ransom payment in exchange for the secret key needed to decrypt the files.

Email services are lucrative targets for threat actors, yet are often overlooked by organizations. BEC exploits the fact that so many of us rely on email to conduct business. In BEC scams, criminals use access to a compromised email account to identify an upcoming financial transaction, and then replace the legitimate payment details with a bank account under their control. The buying party, totally unaware that anything is amiss, then pays their money into the fraudulent account.

In cryptojacking attacks, threat actors access one or more computers or mobile devices to run cryptocurrency-mining software. They abuse the resources of the compromised machines to mine cryptocurrency, causing cost and disruption to the victim. If threat actors are able to gain unauthorized access to an organization's cloud resources, then they can quickly rack up massive costs.

Cobalt Strike is a commercially available and popular command and control (C2) framework used by the security community as well as a wide range of threat actors. The robust use of Cobalt Strike lets threat actors perform intrusions with precision.

Zero-day are exploits for vulnerabilities where a patch has not yet been released.

With phishing, threat actors send emails that attempt to trick the recipient into divulging sensitive information, like login credentials or bank details, or trick them into installing malware on their device. Typically, phishing attacks use social engineering tricks to appear authentic or urge the recipient to take action without thinking. In spear phishing attacks, rather than send out emails indiscriminately, the threat actor deliberately identifies their targets in advance.

Law firms routinely deal with sensitive information, including huge volumes of confidential corporate data.
Not only must they protect client data, but a firm's integrity and reputation are critical to maintaining customer trust. As a result, they are prime targets for insiders, cyber criminals, and even state-sponsored espionage groups looking to steal, expose, or sell data.

The Healthcare industry is undergoing a digital transformation while also facing a shortage of skilled workers.
Patient privacy is paramount, but healthcare organizations also need to be able to access patient data at all times, and trust in the readings given by medical equipment. Ransomware attacks and data breaches (often together) can impact data confidentiality, availability and integrity, and ultimately disruption of patient care.

Learn how to prevent ransomware attacks
The open nature of educational institution networks can make them an easy target for opportunistic cyber criminals and vulnerable to insider threats.
Given the large volume of student fees and money being transferred, especially in higher education, institutions are particularly susceptible to social engineering attacks and ransomware. Academic institutions are also targeted by sophisticated state-sponsored espionage groups looking to steal intellectual property.

The retail industry is a target for financially motivated criminals looking to cash in on payment cards and personal information.
Custom malware can be used to infect point-of-sale (POS) systems, while eCommerce sites face the constant threat of mass online fraud. Retailers must comply with Payment Card Industry standards (PCI), meaning that breaches must be detected quickly and thoroughly investigated.
