The annual report is comprised of data derived from ReasonLabs users from more than 180 countries. The report was developed by researchers from ReasonLabs' Threat Intelligence Center (TIC), the company's industry-leading in-house research arm. The report highlights data from 2022 and 2021 to provide context on year-over-year cybersecurity trends. Key takeaways from the report include:
TIC researchers expect that 2023 will bring more sophisticated phishing and social engineering scams as consumers become more aware of common tactics. They also anticipate growth in Phishing-as-a-Service and overall CaaS. Additionally, researchers expect 2FA to continue to be bypassed, likely leading to the increasing use of Three- or Four-Factor Authentication. The report also indicates that unsecured consumers, particularly young users, will continue to be susceptible as they engage with cryptocurrencies, the metaverse, and other digital assets. Finally, the TIC anticipates the continued deployment of next-generation threats as emerging technologies, such as virtual reality, become more mainstream. The TIC plays a pivotal role in identifying cyber threats and assessing the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, analyzing two billion files per day and identifying more than 24 million threats every month. The TIC shares its findings with the cyber research community at large to ensure public awareness of—and protection against—emerging threats. Click here to access the full report.
