Cyber threats have grown at an alarming rate over the first half of 2021, according to a new market report. Attacks have been driven largely by the emergence of Ransomware as a Service (RaaS) gangs that are cashing in on critical infrastructure organisations.
Analysis of rising ICS vulnerabilities found that critical manufacturing was the most susceptible industry, while a deep dive into IoT security cameras highlights how quickly the attack surface is expanding.
“We encourage organizations to adopt a post-breach mindset pre-breach and strengthen their security and operational resiliency before it’s too late.”

“Colonial Pipeline, JBS and the latest Kaseya software supply chain attack are painful lessons that the threat of ransomware attacks is real,” said Nozomi Networks’ co-founder and CTO Moreno Carullo. “Security professionals must be armed with network security and visibility solutions that incorporate real time threat intelligence and make it possible to quickly respond with actionable recommendations and plans. Understanding how these criminal organizations work and anticipating future attacks is critical as they defend against this unfortunate new normal.”
According to Edgard Capdevielle, CEO of Nozomi Networks, said that while threats were on the rise, the technologies and practices to defeat them are available now. “We encourage organizations to adopt a post-breach mindset pre-breach and strengthen their security and operational resiliency before it’s too late,” he said, adding that while many industrial organisations embrace digital transformation, others adopt a ‘wait and see’ mentality and learn the hard way because they are not prepared for an attack.
