Trend Micro Report Reveals 265% Growth in Fileless Events
Summary
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, today published its roundup report for the first half of 2019, revealing a surge in fileless attacks designed to disguise malicious activity. “ Sophistication and stealth are the name of the cybersecurity game today as corporate technology and criminal attacks become more connected and smarter,” said Jon Clay, director of global threat communications for Trend Micro. To navigate this evolution, businesses need a technology partner that can combine human expertise with advanced security technologies to better detect, correlate, respond to, and remediate threats.” Along with the growth in fileless threats in the first half of the year, attackers are increasingly deploying threats that aren’t visible to traditional security filters, as they can be executed in a system’s memory, reside in the registry, or abuse legitimate tools. Substantiating another prediction, the number of routers involved in possible inbound attacks jumped 64% compared to the first half of 2018, with more Mirai variants searching for exposed devices. Trend Micro Incorporated, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, helps to make the world safe for exchanging digital information.
