New year, new challenges—or is it just the evolution of existing trends? Making predictions for the future is always tough, especially when forecasting the behavior of cybercriminals. However, we've gathered the thoughts and predictions from our security researchers at Bitdefender Labs and compiled our list for 2024. Join us for this upcoming webinar to learn what to expect in 2024 and have the opportunity to ask your questions and engage with our security experts. In this webinar, we will discuss: - The evolution of ransomware tactics and key trends that will shape the RaaS industry. - A reality check on the role of AI and large learning models. - Explore the emerging threats targeting endpoints and cloud workloads with us.

During the development of our XDR sensor for Google Workspace and Google Cloud Platform, we uncovered previously unknown attack methods for escalating a compromise from a single endpoint to a network-wide breach, potentially leading to ransomware attacks or data exfiltration. Starting from a single compromised machine, threat actors could progress in several ways: they could move to other cloned machines with GCPW installed, gain access to the cloud platform with custom permissions, or decrypt locally stored passwords to continue their attack beyond the Google ecosystem. We will be joined by the security researcher who originally discovered these novel attack pathways to discuss: Exploring New Attack Methods, Mitigating Security Risks, and Technical Best Practices.
