2016 Threats Predictions

.

Attacks on all types of hardware and firmware will continue. The market for hardware attack tools will expand. VMs will be successfully attacked through system firmware rootkits.

Hardware

Equation Group – HDD and SSD firmware reprogramming malware

First commercial UEFI Rootkit

.

Ransomware will remain a major and rapidly growing threat in 2016, fueled by anonymizing networks and payment methods.

Inexperienced cybercriminals will leverage ransomware-as-a-service, magnifying the growth in ransomware.

Ransomware

.

Wearables will be a prime target for cyber criminals because they collect personal data and they are relatively insecure back doors into smartphones.

Wearables

Wearables Attack Surfaces

.

Attacks on automobiles will increase rapidly in 2016 due to the rapid increase in connected automobile hardware built without foundational security principles.

Automobiles

Automobile Attack Surfaces

.

Critical infrastructure systems not designed with outside access in mind will become vulnerable to low-incident, but high-impact events as they become connected to the Internet.

Critical infrastructure

.

Threat intelligence sharing among enterprises and security vendors will grow rapidly.

Sharing threat intelligence

Legislative steps will make it possible to share threat intelligence with government.

We will see an acceleration in the development of best practices for sharing emerging threat information.

Threat intelligence cooperatives between industry vendors will expand. STIX/TAXII will be the standard by which they share information.

Metrics for success will emerge, allowing enterprises, security vendors, and governments to quantify protection improvement.
