Trend Micro, Vice President of Cybersecurity, Greg Young said that “As we head into 2019, organizations must understand the security implications of greater cloud adoption, converging IT and OT, and increasing remote working.” He also said that “Cybercriminals will continue to follow a winning formula – exploiting existing flaws, social engineering, and stolen credentials – to drive profits.”

The report stated that “As both the corporate attack surface and unknown cyber attack increases, it is more important than ever for organizations to put more resources behind employee education to help them protect against these growing attacks.”

Adding to the report, Trend Micro said that “The attackers will continue to rely on known vulnerabilities that remain unpatched inc corporate networks for 99.99 percent of exploits.”

Nilesh Jain, Vice President of Trend Micro for India and South Asia, said that In 2019, enterprises should not look for a silver bullet, but a mix of threat defense techniques that complement each other and work together, as the full range of known and unknown risks can never be addressed by one single technology.”
