Top Cyber-Threat Techniques in Q4 2023: What We’re Seeing
ReliaQuest analyzed threat techniques targeting its customers in Q4 2023 and identified phishing and user-initiated actions as the primary vector for initial access, followed by command obfuscation for defense evasion and HTTPS-based command-and-control channels. Financial theft, ransomware, and data theft extortion dominated the impact phase, with attackers exploiting human behavior and encrypted traffic to evade detection.
Why it matters: Security teams should prioritize employee phishing awareness training, deploy endpoint detection and response (EDR) with behavioral analysis, and implement deep packet inspection to monitor encrypted traffic, as these techniques continue to pose significant risks to organizational networks and financial assets.
