Identity-based attacks, misused legitimate tools, and years-old vulnerabilities drove the majority of security incidents last year.

The findings come from the Talos 2024 Year in Review report, based on telemetry from more than 46 million devices across 193 countries and regions, analyzing more

If incidents this year are any indication, deepfakes and “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks increased by the growing adoption of quantum computing projects are among the many concerns organizations in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region must address in 2025. Over the past year, cybercriminals operating in the APAC region have increasingly leveraged AI to launch sophisticated campaigns such as AI-generated phishing emails, adaptive malware, and deepfakes.
