Available now: 2024 Year in Review
Summary: Cisco Talos released its 2024 Year in Review, built on threat telemetry from over 46 million devices across 193 countries and regions, amounting to more than 886 billion security events per day. The report covers top targeted vulnerabilities, network-based attacks, email threats, adversary toolsets, identity attacks, MFA abuse, ransomware and AI-based attacks, and states that cybercriminals in 2024 favored straightforward techniques over complex malware and zero-day exploits.
Bottom line: Talos reports that attackers leaned on stealth and efficiency rather than zero-days, which means the exposure a security leader should weigh is not the exotic exploit but the ordinary technique repeated across 886 billion daily events.
