Incident Response Report 2024

In the past year, threat actors have been making larger and faster moves that are able to damage their targets.

This report by Palo Alto Networks, a Criticaleye Partner, discusses emerging threats for businesses and how to face them, whilst also exploring how threat actors gain access to organisations, what they do once they get in and top recommendations for how to stop these.

Key takeaways include:

• Attackers are now beginning to exfiltrate data in hours as opposed to days. Respondents and defenders need to speed up their own responses
• Software vulnerabilities still matter. It's important to measure your threat surface, then fix it quickly and comprehensively
• Threat actors are becoming more sophisticated, organised, knowledgeable and able to use IT, cloud and security tools as weapons of offense
