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.”

Attackers will also implement emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) to anticipate the movements of executives better.

The report also said that “The attack will also lead more targeted phishing message, which can be critical to Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks.” The report also said that “The BEC attacks will target more employees who report to C-level executives, which will result in global losses.”
