The cyber-security provider, Radware, has recently published its 2024 Global Threat Analysis Report. Throughout the past year, the world witnessed an escalating technological battle between hackers and cyber-defence teams, with one result being a significant 171% increase in malevolent web application and API transactions, primarily driven by Layer 7 Web DDoS attacks. Pascal Geenens, Radware's director of threat intelligence, expressed that advances, such as Generative AI, are allowing originally inexperienced threat actors to become proficient hackers, leading to an increase in cyber-attacks. He anticipates this trend to continue in 2024. The report offers insights into global network and application attack activity. It utilises shared intelligence from the Radware Cloud and Managed Services, Global Deception Network, its threat intelligence research team, and data gathered from the public messaging platform, Telegram.
