This would indicate that these tools are viewed as an effective way to detect and stop known threats, it said. The fight to prevent hackers from compromising networks is failing, with around half of cybersecurity professionals reporting a rise in detection work rather than prevention work, according to a survey of nearly a quarter cybersecurity professionals by Attivo Networks . around half of respondents cited malware and ransomware as the biggest security risk, while Nearly two-thirds named credential theft and targeted attacks as areas of concern. Respondents believed attackers were worried the most about threat deception technology and next-generation firewalls, indicating those methods to be being particularly useful in fighting cyber attacks.
