![]() ![]() Beyond its widespread adoption, enterprise software stands out as a prime target due to its traditional maintenance cycles. Both enterprise vendors and customers need to adapt to this trend. ![]() ![]() Ransomware groups will continue focusing on enterprise software. As companies increasingly adopt prioritized patching and swift response, more sophisticated groups with substantial resources will begin investing in genuine zero-day vulnerabilities, bypassing the need to wait for proof-of-concept (PoC) code availability. After compromising many networks using automated scanners, they will manually triage them to determine the optimal monetization method and select the appropriate attack mode. In 2024, ransomware threat actors will continue adopting a more opportunistic mindset, rapidly weaponizing newly discovered vulnerabilities within 24 hours. Acceleration of Opportunistic Ransomware with Zero-Day Exploits In 2024, we expect the ransomware threat will continue taking an opportunistic turn-a trend that we first highlighted in 2022, gained momentum throughout 2023 (marked by multiple advisories, culminating in the ongoing CitrixBleed exploitation), and is projected to reach maturity this year. ![]() This change in motivation has made predicting their behavior somewhat easier, as their actions are now grounded in strategic objectives rather than unpredictable whims. Today, they’re driven by profit, transforming into rational business entities seeking scalable, repeatable processes for a steady income. In the past, cybercriminals often operated with the motive to "do it for lulz," engaging in malicious activities purely for the sake of amusement or creating chaos.
