The guaranteed thing when it comes to cyber security: the busy year was faced by security practitioners. Cyber attack has created a record in the year 2016 and threat is going to be very dangerous in 2017. Below we are explaining the four themes which we can watch in the year 2017.

Open season on IoT

Many more new IOT (internet of things) devices are getting connected to corporate network but when we consider how many network remains unsecure, great adoption will increases the number in the hackers target list. In last October Dyn attack demonstrated the easy way for cybercriminal to influence the IOT to the wreak havoc on weaker side. Cybercriminal is the easy Mirai source code acquire and also the other attack tool to launch their own hoot up with criminal groups in the internet that can offer the DDoS service. Addition to the DDoS attack using IoT device, ransom ware criminals are trying to replicating the success by launching ransom ware attacks in opposition to IoT devices

The changing face of ransom ware

When the more quantity of data stored in mobile device then before, popularity with cybercriminals was gain by the ransom ware. This will profitable use that encrypt content, by making the encrypt content unrecoverable until the ransom is compensated but the ransom was also getting more complicated and now it can aim any devices. One more new wrinkle to watch is Cybercriminals are also eschewing broad, spam-based assault in the favor of number of precision spear phishing ransom ware attacks. Cybercriminals targets are administrative and the persons in positions of authority who is more possible to pay the valuable corporate protect or personal information.

Political hacking goes main stream

Some national states have conducting cyber espionage regularly, but the state-sponsored cyber attacks are not going to be same restricted to industrial espionage. Even the business that won’t get involved directly with the politics need to update the threat assignment.

Mobile security threats everywhere

Around 4% of all mobile devices are infected with virus; about half of them are in high risk of revealing aware corporate data. Employees are still ignoring corporate procedure and download malware-laden mobile apps from unofficial app stores in devices they started to use for connecting to corporate networks. Even if they are follow optional practices there will be still risk, highly regarded stores every so often been fooled by scoundrel developers who design the malicious development environments to make malware hide which appear and to be safe.

AS Bottom line: more employee’s contact corporate data through mobile devices, it might become very big target for the bad guys in the year 2017.
