The cyber threats of today are not the same as even a few years ago. As the cyber threat landscape changes, organizations need protection against cybercriminals’ current and future tools and techniques.
Gen V AttacksThe cyber security threat landscape is continually evolving, and, occasionally, these advancements represent a new generation of cyber threats. To date, we have experienced five generations of cyber threats and solutions designed to mitigate them, including:
Gen V AttacksThe cyber security threat landscape is continually evolving, and, occasionally, these advancements represent a new generation of cyber threats. To date, we have experienced five generations of cyber threats and solutions designed to mitigate them, including:
Gen I (Virus):
In the late 1980s, virus attacks against standalone computers inspired the creation of the first antivirus solutions.
Gen II (Network):
As cyberattacks began to come over the Internet, the firewall was developed to identify and block them.
Gen III (Applications):
Exploitation of vulnerabilities within applications caused the mass adoption of intrusion prevention systems (IPS)
Gen IV (Payload):
As malware became more targeted and able to evade signature-based defenses, anti-bot and sandboxing solutions were necessary to detect novel threats.
Gen V (Mega):
The latest generation of cyber threats uses large-scale, multi-vectors attacks, making advanced threat prevention solutions a priority.
Each generation of cyber threats made previous cyber security solutions less effective or essentially obsolete. Protecting against the modern cyber threat landscape requires Gen V cyber security solutions.
