Cyber attacks will increase in 2016

Cybercriminals won’t be letting up their attacks on hardware and firmware in 2016 instead these threats will expand to virtual machines, wearables and other surfaces. That’s according to the latest McAfee Labs Threat Predictions report that says while these threats will increase traces left behind on infected systems will visibly reduce. It is suggested that organisations develop near-term IT security plans and long-range security strategies in order to fight these cyber threats. To succeed in preventing future threats, the study says organizations must detect and respond faster.
