As we look at how the threat landscape might evolve, one thing is certain: Bad actors are increasingly adding more attack tactics and vectors to their playbooks. Case in point: In the first half of 2022, the number of new ransomware variants identified increased by nearly 100% compared to the previous six-month period, largely thanks to the rise in popularity of Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS). Combine this proliferation of new threats with expanding attack surfaces, resulting in elevated risk levels impacting every industry.
