Nothing is more difficult than making predictions. Rather than trying to gaze into a crystal ball, we will be making educated guesses based on what has happened during the last 12 months, to see where we can see trends that might be exploited in the near future.

This is what we think might happen in the coming months, based on the knowledge of experts in this field and our observation of APT attacks – since APT threat actors have historically been the center of innovation.

New Threat Predictions for 2020
November 20, 2019
https://www.fortinet.com/blog/industry-trends/fortinet-2020-threat-landscape-predictions.html

Cybercriminals use a multi-pronged approach for their attack strategies. The most commonly understood is the development of increasingly sophisticated attack methodologies. For example, we have seen a rise in the use of Advanced Evasion Techniques (AETs) designed to prevent detection, disable security functions and devices, and operate under the radar.

However, two additional strategies are worth noting. First, like any enterprise, they don’t spend money when they don’t have to.
There is no reason to develop a new malware tool when organizations seem all too willing to leave the front door unlocked. [...]

Cyberthreats to financial institutions 2020: Overview and predictions

During the last few years, cybercriminals have invested a lot in methods to bypass anti-fraud systems, because now it’s not enough just to steal the login, password and PII – they now need a digital fingerprint to bypass anti-fraud systems in order to extract money from the bank. During 2019, we identified a huge underground market called Genesis, which sells digital fingerprints of online banking users from around the globe.

Corporate security prediction 2020

The popularity of cloud services is growing, and threat actors are here to exploit the trend.

We are observing more and more cases where our customers’ infrastructure is partially or entirely located in the cloud – cloud migration has been the dominant trend of the past couple of years. This is resulting in a blurring of infrastructure boundaries. In 2020, we expect the following trends to emerge.

Avast foresees sophisticated email malware and new AI privacy protections for 2020
December 4, 2019
https://blog.avast.com/avast-releases-2020-threat-landscape-report

In the new 2020 release of its annual Threat Landscape Report, Avast predicts criminals will innovate malicious emails by harnessing sophisticated tools; the mobile industry will be hit by more subscription scams; and IoT data will be a major target. At the same time artificial intelligence that protects privacy will become a new frontier for cybersecurity.
Email scams get more sophisticated
“Not only is it harder for people to spot malicious emails or suspicious links and attachments, making attacks more likely to be successful, but the exploitation of RDP vulnerabilities to spread worm-like strains of threats could have significant impact.”
More mobile subscription threats
“Getting malicious apps onto the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store is not an easy task, which is why cybercriminals are shifting towards subscription scams, and fake apps integrated with aggressive adware to make money,” said Nikoloas Chrysaidos (pictured above), head of mobile threat Intelligence and security at Avast.

With 2019’s headlines of ransomware, malware, and RDP attacks almost behind us, we shift our focus to the cybercrime threats ahead. Cybercriminals are increasing the complexity and volume of their attacks and campaigns, always looking for ways to stay one step ahead of cybersecurity practices – and more often using the world’s evolving technology against us.

Our researchers also foresee more threat actors targeting corporate networks to exfiltrate corporate information in two-stage ransomware campaigns.

From disrupting elections to targeted ransomware to privacy regulations to deepfakes and malevolent AI, 141 cybersecurity predictions for 2020 did not exhaust the subject so here are additional 42 from senior cybersecurity executives.

“In 2020, we’ll see an increasing number of cybercriminals use AI to scale their attacks. AI will open the door to mutating malware based on attackers using genetic algorithms that are capable of learning, increasing their chances of success. [...]”—Maty Siman, Founder and CTO, Checkmarx

“At least three US States will declare states of emergency due to waves of ransomware in 2020. Ransomware, which carried a price tag of over $10 billion this year in attacks, will continue to plague state and municipal agencies [...]”—Jon Oltsik, Senior Principal Analyst and Fellow, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG)

“Deepfakes will take center-stage in the 2020 election as real identity becomes harder to verify. This technology will be used to generate false videos of political candidates being made to say or do almost anything, and these videos can be produced in near real-time.

The decline of passwords, the rise of encryption and deepfakes -- cybersecurity predictions for 2020
December 19, 2019
https://betanews.com/2019/12/19/cybersecurity-predictions-2020/

It's the time of year again where the great and good of the tech sector like to consult the tea leaves, gaze into the crystal ball, read the runes -- and of course draw on their industry knowledge -- to give their predictions for the year ahead.
So, what do they think is in store for cybersecurity in 2020?

We can also expect to see more attacks aimed at critical infrastructure and governments according to Alex Heid, chief research officer at SecurityScorecard. "Malicious nation-state actors will continue to focus on malware and ransomware attacks. [...]"
"With at least thirteen global presidential elections scheduled for 2020, we can expect to see more malware and ransomware attacks attempting to undermine voters’ confidence."

Healthcare is set to come under attack too says Mike Riemer, chief security architect at Pulse Secure, "It is already well-understood that the healthcare industry struggles to secure its trove of sensitive data. [...]"

Voice Deepfakes will become the new phishing bait: C-level executives, politicians and other high-profile individuals are already high-risk targets for standard email phishing attacks given their level of access and financial decision making within their organization.
Matt Ulery, chief product officer, SecureAuth
Get ready for SMS attacks to go mainstream. We adopted two-factor authentication with little hesitation: get a text on your phone with the one-time authentication code, enter it in after entering your password and gain access to your account.
Michael Morrison, CEO, CoreView
Office 365-specific security issues will finally get the attention they deserve: Office 365 is a major target for IP theft, data leakage, credential cracking, and O365-specific attacks because that’s where a big bulk of sensitive, enterprise data is. [...]

John Prisco, president & CEO, Quantum Xchange
By the end of 2020 it will be evident that RSA 2048 will be doomed in under 5 years, when a nation state like China or the U.S. will have a quantum computer capable of decrypting current encryption paradigms
Saumitra Das, CTO, Blue Hexagon
First malware using AI-Models to evade sandboxes will be born in 2020. [...] As a result of these malware author innovations and existing limitations, the sandbox will become ineffective as a means to detect unknown malware. Correspondingly, cybersecurity defenders’ adoption of AI-powered malware defenses will increase.
Professor Yehuda Lindell, CEO and Co-founder, Unbound Tech
New methods of protection will continue to grow as blockchain/cryptocurrency becomes an increasingly attractive crime target
Josh Lemos, VP of research and intelligence, BlackBerry Cylance
As cities, towns and government agencies continue to overhaul their networks, sophisticated attackers will begin to tap into software vulnerabilities as expansion of bandwidth that 5G requires creates a larger attack surface. [...]

The age of cyber warfare is dawning on us, and the threat of cybercrime to businesses continues to multiply by the day. The imperative for effective and autonomous defense is stronger than ever.

What can businesses expect in 2020? What cards do cyber-criminals hold in their deck? By analyzing emerging technologies and industry trends, we can anticipate the techniques that attackers may utilize in the new year.
Hackers launch AI-powered attacks
In 2020, we can expect artificial intelligence (AI) to be used by hackers to target businesses.
Ransomware is not going away – it’s getting faster and more targeted
Ransomware ran riot in 2019, devasting more than 70 local governments across the US alone. And it’s not going anywhere soon – in fact, we can expect ransomware attacks in 2020 to be more efficient than past variants.
Cyber weapon developers lose control of their creations
In 2020, the collateral damage of state-sponsored attacks will reach new heights. [...]
