New Attack Vectors: Inside the New Frontier of Digital Risk

COVID-19 forced many organizations to put the pedal to the metal on Digital Transformation initiatives and remote work overnight. Although accelerating Digital Transformation and the adoption of remote work has forced companies to embrace new technologies to survive the pandemic lockdowns, there is no doubt that the rapid evolution of business models in the era of COVID has also made it easier for cyber criminals to carry out cyber attacks and disrupt operations. Cyberattacks are now the fourth top rated risk in 2021 according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2021, and employee and executives’ compromised credentials are the #1 initial attack vector for data breaches. Operational disruptions from credential theft and exposed PII, such as ransomware, regulated data leaks, account takeover, impersonations, doxxing and hacktivism are all suddenly a very real threat, and in extreme cases, cyber threats can even place employees and executives or their families at risk from physical attack. With organizations facing increased risk due to more workers working outside the corporate perimeter, and with attack surfaces expanding due technological transformation, businesses are facing a perfect storm of rising digital risk.
