Organizations are increasingly becoming victims of government-sponsored cybercriminals. 25% of companies associate attacks on their businesses with cyber warfare or the actions of other countries, according to a survey conducted by experts from the Radware company.
In 2018, only 19% of organizations linked other states in cyberattacks, but in 2019 this figure increased to 27%. Interestingly, businesses in North America are more likely to associate attacks with government cybercriminals (36%).
“Cyberattacks by government-sponsored criminals are among the most difficult to neutralize, as their organizers often have significant resources, knowledge of zero-day vulnerabilities, and the patience to plan and execute these operations. Such attacks can lead to the loss of confidential, trade, technological or other data, ”the experts noted.
According to the results of the survey, 22% of the respondents did not even know if they were attacked, and 27% of the victims did not know about the motives of the criminals. 38% of companies are unsure if their networks have been attacked by IoT botnets, and 46% are unsure if they have been attacked by encrypted DDoS attacks.
While 5G (5G) mobile technology provides an excellent opportunity to secure networks, only 26% of those surveyed said they were ready to deploy 5G, and 32% were only partially prepared.
