As outlined in the Global Application and Network Security Report 2015-2016, Radware found that throughout 2015, no industry was immune to cyber attacks, and few were prepared.
In 2016, attacks are predicted to become even more aggressive with the arrival of Advanced Persistent Denial of Service (APDoS) attacks and an increase in volume and scope of sophisticated bot-generated attacks against web application infrastructure.
"The front lines of information security will not include humans,” said Carl Herberger, vice president of security solutions at Radware. “As defenses continue to succumb to an endless flood of sophisticated, automated attacks and an infinite number of new attack techniques, the idea of humans having the ability to deploy detection technologies and choreograph responses in real-time will disappear. We are approaching the fall of human cyber defenses and the rise of cyber botted-defense."
Key findings from the report include:
Increase in frequency of ransoms: Attackers focus their Ransom demands toward service providers and leverage both DDoS and SSL Flood attacks when payment is not made.
Wider and more sophisticated attack modalities: Attacks are becoming completely automated and more sophisticated each day. New techniques like Burst Attacks, Advanced Persistent Denial of Service (APDoS), increase in volumetric pipe attacks, and Dynamic IP Attacks make it harder to defend against mostly manual solutions.
