Attacks on critical network infrastructure are increasing, according to a report from IBM’s threat intelligence unit, X-Force.
“Worldwide, nearly 70% of attacks that X-Force responded to were against critical infrastructure organizations, an alarming finding highlighting that cybercriminals are wagering on these high value targets’ need for uptime to advance their objectives,” reads X-Force’s 2024 Threat Intelligence Index.
The X-Force Threat Intelligence Index is built around data from 150 billion security events per day in more than 130 countries. In addition, data is gathered and analyzed from multiple sources within IBM, including IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence, Incident Response, X-Force Red, IBM Managed Security Services, and data provided from Red Hat Insights and Intezer.
