2024 Trends: Expanded Attack Surface is Leading to More Attacks

As the digital sprawl has taken over organizations’ environments, and as IT and security leaders have worked overtime to secure an ever-expanding attack surface while understanding and implementing new technologies like generative AI and next-gen EDR tools, an alarming trend has emerged – more attack attempts. 

This combination of a growing footprint and new tools has left organizations with more potential vulnerability exposures, misconfigurations ripe for exploitations, and new users who may fall prey to insider attacks.  

Simply put:  

• 48% of organizations suffered a breach in the last 12 months 

• 70% of organizations were the target of a business email compromise (BEC) attempt in the last 12 months 

• 45% of organizations were the victim of a ransomware attack in the last 12 months 

Take a deep dive into this data and understand what critical actions your organization can take to shore up defenses in this evolving cyber landscape with Arctic Wolf’s The State of Cybersecurity: 2024 Trends Report.
