offensive cyber security
We use social media to communicate personal information, shop on store websites, and access financial information online.
We are exposed to increasing cyber security threats as we use and depend more on digital platforms. Malicious cybercriminals are taking advantage of security holes to profit from people’s private information and companies’ growing online presence.
Both defensive and offensive cyber security is more important than ever as we face the risks of identity theft, unauthorized access and financial fraud. However, what exactly is cyber security?
This field of study includes the methods, tools, and security measures used to reduce and protect against online dangers such as ransomware, malware, phishing, and other forms of cyberattacks.
The cost and regularity of cyber attacks
• Over the next two years, the cost of cybercrime damages is projected to grow by 15% annually, reaching $10.5 trillion by 2025.
• By 2025, the global cost of cybercrime would reach $10.5 trillion annually, highlighting the need for enhanced offensive cyber security measures.
• The average cost of a data breach worldwide in 2023 was $4.45 million, an increase of 15% in just three years, which highlights the increasing financial pressure on businesses.
• Global cybercrime will cost $9.5 trillion by 2024, slightly less than the projected growth rate.
• The cost of a data breach in the United States will remain the highest in 2023 at $5.09 million.
• According to 75% of security experts, there has been an increase in cyber attacks in the past 12 months.
Malware statistics
Numerous attacks are documented daily, indicating that malware remains a prevalent concern.
Targeted industries include retail, but the malware is typically used in conjunction with other strategies such as phishing. While traditional data breaches are always a concern, adware is usually the target in most cases.
• With approximately 560,000 new pieces of malware discovered every day, malware attacks are once again on the rise.
• Customer data was stolen in 57% of retail breaches.
• 71% of malware attacks are directed at a specific target.
• 40% of malware attacks result in the disclosure of private information.
• A recent survey revealed that 53% of participants have experienced adware.
• Spyware is the most popular type of malware used by individuals.
• Email is the most popular means of spreading malware, carrying 58.94% of all malware deliveries.
• Attacks stopped, including 5,520,908 mobile malware, adware and riskware.
• Individuals are the target of 53.17% of malware attacks.
Depending on the industry and target area, average expenses also differ. With an average cost of $9.36 million per event, data breaches in the United States are the costliest in the world. Additionally, breaches in the healthcare industry are more costly than breaches in other industries. Healthcare data breaches cost an average of $9.77 million, more than the costliest industry — banking — by about $3.7 million.
