Rise in non-ransomware attacks

What’s happening? A new report from cybersecurity firm, Strikeforce, says that there is a rise in using compromised credentials to gain access as opposed to malware and ransomware.

Why is this important? Multilayer credential checks along with repetitive credential checks are the way around this type of attack. The attacks are also faster at gaining access to other systems within a network at an average time of 1 hour and 32 minutes.

How will this be important? As hackers are faster and quicker, entities have to react more quickly to secure their systems and users.
