WOBURN, MA – December 11, 2014 — /BackupReview.info/ — The Kaspersky Lab Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) today published their predictions of the top emerging threats associated with Advance Persistent Threats (APTs). For several years now, GReAT has shed light on some of the world’s biggest APT campaigns, including RedOctober, Flame, NetTraveler, Miniduke, Epic Turla and Careto/Mask, among others. By closely observing more than 60 threat actors responsible for cyber-attacks worldwide, the team of experts has compiled the following predictions for 2015.
“If we can call 2014‘sophisticated,’ then the word for 2015 will be ‘elusive.’ We believe that APT groups will evolve to become stealthier and sneakier, in order to better avoid exposure. This year we’ve already discovered APT players using several zero-days, and we’ve observed new persistence and stealth techniques. We have used this to develop and deploy several new defense mechanisms for our users,” comments Costin Raiu, director of GReAT, Kaspersky Lab.
In addition, Kaspersky Lab is today launching an interactive project, the ‘Targeted Cyberattack Logbook.’ This chronicles all the complex cyber-campaigns that have been investigated by GReAT. To explore the logbook, please visit apt.securelist.com
