COVID-19 has given threat actors a great opportunity to carry out more aggressive and numerous attacks with do-it-*yourself cloud-based tools.

In 2020 there was a 62% increase in ransomware, 28% increase in cryptojacking and 66% increase in loT malware, as well as a 74% increase in new malware variants.

Threats once thought to be two or three years away are now a reality, with do-it-*yourself cloud-based tools creating an army of cybercriminals armed with the same devastating force and impact of a nation-state or larger criminal enterprise.

Organisations need to remain vigilant and proactive to strengthen their cybersecurity posture.
