In EMEA, the weekly average of attacks per organization was 777, a 36% increase. APAC organizations saw 1338 weekly attacks, a 13% increase. Specifically within Europe there was an increase of 27% while Latin America saw an increase of 19%.<\/li>\n<li>\n          <strong>The rise of ransomware attacks and \u2018Triple Extortion\u2019:<\/strong> Globally, the number of ransomware attacks on organizations increased by 93% in H1 2021, compared to the same period last year. Increasingly, in addition to stealing sensitive data from organizations and threatening to release it publicly unless a payment is made, attackers are now targeting organizations\u2019 customers and\/or business partners and demanding ransom from them too.<\/li>\n<li>\n          <strong>Supply chain attacks step up:<\/strong> The well-known SolarWinds supply chain attack stands out in 2021 due to its scale and influence, but other sophisticated supply chain attacks have occurred such as <a href=\"https:\/\/about.codecov.io\/security-update\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Codecov<\/a> in April, and most recently <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.checkpoint.com\/2021\/07\/05\/russian-speaking-group-strikes-on-us-independence-weekend-hitting-several-organizations-with-ransomware-demands-in-the-biggest-supply-chain-attack-since-sunburst\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kaseya<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>\n          <strong>The race to become Emotet\u2019s successor: <\/strong>Following the botnet\u2019s takedown in January, other malwares are quickly gaining popularity, namely: Trickbot, Dridex, Qbot and IcedID.<\/li>\n<li>\n          <strong>Predictions for H2 2021: <\/strong>Ransomware will grow, despite law enforcement stepping up. Increased use of penetration tools to give live hackers ability to customize attacks on the fly and a trend towards collateral damage well beyond the initial target victim calls for a collateral damage strategy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cIn the first half of 2021, cyber criminals have continued to adapt their working practices in order to exploit the shift to hybrid working, targeting organizations\u2019 supply chains and network links to partners in order to achieve maximum disruption,\u201d said Maya Horowitz, VP Research at Check Point Software. \u201cThis year cyber-attacks have continued to break records and we have even seen a huge increase in the number of ransomware attacks, with high-profile incidents such as Solarwinds, Colonial Pipeline, JBS or Kayesa.\u00a0 Looking ahead, organizations should be aware of the risks and ensure that they have the appropriate solutions in place to prevent, without disrupting the normal business flow, the majority of attacks including the most advanced ones.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Top predictions for H2 highlighted in the report include:<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>The war on Ransomware will intensify<\/strong> \u2013Ransomware attacks will continue to proliferate despite increased investment from governments and law enforcement, especially as the Biden Administration makes this a priority. With such investment and ever more advanced tools, the authorities will enjoy some successes, but threat actors will evolve, and new groups will emerge in the ransomware arms race.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Man-in-the-Middle becomes the hacker in the network<\/strong> &#8211; Over the past two years, we have seen an acceleration in the use of penetration tools, such as Cobalt Strike and Bloodhound. These tools don\u2019t just pose a real challenge from a detection point of view, they also grant live hackers access to compromised networks, allowing them to scan and scroll at will and customize attacks on the fly. Security professionals will need a whole new set of skills to detect this form of attack and prevent it from happening in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Collateral Damage beyond the initial target<\/strong> \u2013 The growing trends of triple extortion, supply chain attacks and even just remote cyber-attacks may affect businesses more than ever. The triple extortion trend in ransomware now includes not only the original target organization, but also its customers, partners and vendors. This multiplies the actual victims of each attack and requires a special security strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Check Point provides zero-day <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=YBEPj4SsvMaC43o5-sCVVSDKOHErT9qdeMa9qWLeeuawhixTKcIEgSmvTfLqRuwsha56jF04ajLoG84ueFzY-h03KspImSYsGatoVcieU7q2XbwmNNA-XU1ybtletwPK\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">protection<\/a> with its networks, cloud, users and access security solutions.
