• Cryptojacking's Resurgence: Understand the renewed threat of cryptomining malware, its impact on resources, and strategies to detect and mitigate its presence.
• EMEA's Growing Threat Landscape: Explore the dramatic increase in malware attacks in the EMEA region and learn how to assess and adapt your defenses to regional threats.
• Evolving Malware Tactics: Examine the shift in attacker behavior toward using a broader range of malware techniques rather than developing entirely new malware, highlighting the need for comprehensive threat detection capabilities.
• Living-Off-the-Land Attacks: Gain insights into the prevalence of "living off-the-land" attacks and learn practical steps to enhance your threat detection and response strategies.

Defending your business, data, and employees from cyberattacks in 2025 will become increasingly difficult. Not only are bad actors doing their best to crack your defenses, but their AI assistants will make it easier for them to launch highly targeted and advanced attacks. 

During this webinar, the leaders of WatchGuard’s Threat Lab, CSO Corey Nachreiner and Director of Security Operations Marc Laliberte, review the new attacks they expect to see in the coming year, including:

• As multimodal AI systems gain the ability to integrate text, images, voice, and sophisticated coding, threat actors will leverage them to streamline and automate the entire pipeline of a cyber attack.
• Attackers will intensify their attempts to target little-known but widely used third-party open-source libraries and dependencies to avoid detection and execute malicious attacks.
• As threat actors will look to increasingly leverage AI to both find and build vulnerabilities, cybersecurity professionals will also take advantage of AI’s capabilities to uncover and stymie their attempts.
• GenAI will open up new attack vectors for bad actors to profit when they combine it with other sophisticated tactics to earn the trust of organizations to perform what they believe is a legitimate business transaction.
