Trend Micro security predictions for 2023
Prioritise cyber security strategies on capabilities rather than costs
The ransomware arena is set to undergo major upheavals in 2023, with malicious actors seemingly beset on all sides: International law enforcement has been cracking down on ransomware activity with the promise of cybercrime-related sanctions, as was the case for Evil Corp and Lazarus.
Incidents like the takedown of REvil and the Conti leaks also showed the world that even top ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) providers are not immune to compromise themselves. On top of these decisive blows to their notoriety, we foresee that the double extortion tactics that were widely adopted among ransomware circles will no longer be the devastating one-two punch they once were, as defenders will continue to build a resilience to ransomware attacks.
