He also emphasizes the importance of adopting a software bill of materials (SBOM) to identify potential vulnerabilities in the code and enhance cybersecurity. He believes that the adoption of SBOMs will become crucial for businesses to uncover potential software risks and correct known vulnerabilities before they result in an attack. He also suggests businesses to create ransomware response playbooks and rehearse them to ensure a swift and effective response in the event of an attack.
Key takeaways:
- The rapid advancement of AI technology is making cyber tactics against small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) more sophisticated and effective.
- Ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) attacks are surging and becoming the primary operating model for ransomware gangs, making ransomware attacks easier to create.
- SMBs will need to adopt a software bill of materials (SBOM) to know what potential vulnerabilities exist within their code and to enhance their cybersecurity.
- As technology continues to advance, the need for businesses to heighten their awareness to protect against emerging threats is crucial.
