Trustwave SpiderLabs' upcoming report, the 2025 Trustwave Risk Radar Report: Technology Sector, will be released on June 25 and will delve into the threats in the technology industry and how to stay secure.
The report, an update on the team’s 2024 Technology Threat Intelligence Briefing and Mitigation Strategies, provides a comprehensive analysis of novel cybercriminal tactics and techniques, identifying the top trends that significantly affect the technology industry.
In addition to this main report, Trustwave SpiderLabs has produced two detailed supplemental reports:
A few early findings from the report are that millions of Port 4567 instances were publicly exposed - which are typically exploited by the Mirai botnet; in excess of 10 million critical vulnerabilities were exposed to the public Internet; and tens of thousands of hosts were found using legacy Windows operating systems such as Windows 2012, 2008, and 7.
In addition, Trustwave SpiderLabs covers:
The importance of these reports cannot be understated, considering how ingrained tech companies are in different sectors’ operations; the consequences of successful cyberattacks against them are monumental. For example, a successful ransomware attack on a software company will not only cause operational disruptions, financial losses, and reputational damage to the affected company, but it can also lead to data leaks that affect that company’s clients and other end users.
