Global Head of Threat Intelligence, 👤 Matt Hull comments “Overall, June's ransomware landscape was characterised by ongoing shifts, with LockBit 3.0's steep decline, and Play remaining a formidable force in the threat landscape. “The cyber threat landscape in the first half of 2024 has been marked by a series of significant events that have had a profound impact on global cybersecurity. We have seen major cyber incidents that have disrupted businesses, healthcare systems, and critical infrastructure across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific region. “These incidents have ranged from data breaches to aggressive ransomware attacks, highlighting the evolving nature of cyber threats and the increasing capabilities of cyber adversaries. Equally, we’ve seen how external pressures on ransomware operations can significantly disrupt even the most prolific threat actors. These changes underscore how cyber security resilience must persist as a key priority for organisations across all industries.” Click here to find out more 👉 https://lnkd.in/gUYN6MP4

In this article by Dark Reading, Associate Director of Threat Intelligence Ian Usher comments on the impact of ransomware on critical national infrastructure. "The government can...ensure consistent cybersecurity standards across critical infrastructure," he says. "A continued lack of alignment will only serve to create an ever more complex Web of rules. This will likely be counterproductive to delivering better cyber resilience, and contribute to the problem of cybersecurity compliance becoming a 'tick box' exercise."
