2019-2020 Security Report

By Juan Lopez Gonzalez posted Oct 02, 2020 08:59:54 AM

  
Hardly any IT market sector in recent years experienced growth rates such as those in connection with networked devices (IoT). The consequence for profit-driven cybercriminals is thus unavoidable, and as a result, not only business with legal IoT boomed, but also the shadow economy. But whereas respectable product manufacturers and service providers have to raise awareness and build understanding when it comes to customers' understanding of IT security, criminals can build their business models based on a plethora of poorly protected or completely unprotected IoT systems. And with the increasing penetration of IoT devices in industrial production, medicine, and additional business fields, as well as consumer households, the threat posed by unsecured IoT devices continues to grow.
The new trend in the malware industry observed in 2019 clearly continued in 2020. The development of malware programs is divided up into two areas: While on the one hand the automated production of mass malware for broadly-based online attacks continues to grow sharply, on the other hand cybercriminals are increasingly developing sophisticated malware for specialized attacks on companies and critical infrastructure. A broad picture on current developments in the threat scenario can be found in the AV-TEST Security Report 2019/202:
