Cybersecurity threats are evolving faster than ever, and Baltimore businesses are increasingly in the crosshairs. Here are the five most dangerous threats this year.
1. Ransomware-as-a-Service
Criminal organizations now sell ransomware toolkits as subscriptions, enabling anyone to launch devastating attacks. The average ransomware payment exceeded $250,000 in 2024.
2. AI-Powered Phishing
AI generates emails nearly indistinguishable from legitimate communications — mimicking executive writing styles and referencing real projects. BEC attacks caused over $2.9 billion in losses in 2024.
3. Supply Chain Attacks
Attackers target software vendors to gain access to their customers. A single compromise can affect thousands of organizations.
4. Cloud Misconfigurations
Default cloud settings are rarely secure. Many organizations skip critical security steps during migration.
5. Insider Threats
Threats from inside your organization account for roughly 25% of all data breaches.
