A new report from Forrester is giving enterprises a path forward out of the pandemic with a serious cybersecurity warning: There are five major problems, and five attack vectors, that could slow post-pandemic progress in 2021, according to TechRepublic.
The five greatest threats to businesses in 2021 will be different from those in 2020, but Forrester is predicting the attack vectors used by cybercriminals to be similar to those from last year. In descending order, the most common attack vectors for 2021 will be: web application attacks like SQL injection, XSS and remote file inclusion; exploitation of lost or stolen assets; malware; software vulnerabilities and exploits, and use of stolen credentials.
In the case of Identity theft and account takeover, organizations need to improve identity verification techniques by adding additional authentication factors, implementing zero-trust security, considering passwordless authentication and using other verification methods to ensure compromised credentials can't be used by bad actors.
