Cisco-LogoEbizCisco has released a new report that analyzes threat intelligence and cybersecurity trends and examines how organizations must respond to cyber attacks.

The company said Tuesday cyber criminals are expanding their tactics to conduct cyber attacks using methods that Cisco says are hard to detect.

“Attackers have become more proficient at taking advantage of gaps in security to evade detection and conceal malicious activity,” Cisco said.

Cisco noted that end-users become aides of cyber attacks “unknowingly” in addition to being the targets.

“Throughout 2014, Cisco threat intelligence research revealed that attackers have increasingly shifted their focus from seeking to compromise servers and operating systems to seeking to exploit users at the browser and email level,” Cisco added.

Another Cisco report also indicates “a widening gap in defender perceptions of their likely security capabilities.”

The study shows less than 50 percent of respondents use patching and configuration tools for security.

Cisco also calls on corporate boards to set their security priorities.
