The news last month of yet another cyberattack on MGM Resorts, initiating a system shutdown and disrupting its operations, is yet another in a very long list of attacks that we have witnessed in the past couple of years.

Oct 14, 2023 By Razorthorn In Razorthorn
The issue at hand is a direct result of the significant ransomware attacks that have forced organizations to pay out millions. In response, insurance companies have adopted a seemingly superficial, tick-box approach to cybersecurity assessments. Although they are attempting to enhance their due diligence, they fall short in truly evaluating security measures. Instead of thorough testing and on-site inspections, insurance companies rely on organizations to truthfully disclose their cybersecurity measures.

As attackers leave little-to-no traces of their attack patterns, more ransomware groups are shifting from automated attacks to manual attacks. According to the newly-released Microsoft Digital Defense Report 2023, about 40% of the ransomware attacks detected were human-driven and tracked back to over 120 ransomware-as-a-service (RWaaS) affiliates. This spike in human-operated ransomware attacks likely goes back to attackers wanting to minimize their footprint within an organization.

Ransomware Attack Dwell Time Drops by 77% to Under 24 Hours

Oct 9, 2023 By Stu Sjouwerman In KnowBe4
As attackers evolve their toolsets and processes, the significant drop in dwell time signifies a much higher risk to organizations that now have less time to detect and respond to initial attacks. This is bad news. Two years ago, the median dwell time – the time between gaining access to a network and executing the ransomware – was 5.5 days. Last year it was 4.5 days.
