Foreword

The 2024 edition of the CrowdStrike Global Threat Report arrives at a pivotal moment for our global community of protectors . The speed and ferocity of cyberattacks continue to accelerate as adversaries compress the time between initial entry , lateral movement and breach . At the same time , the rise of generative AI has the potential to lower the barrier of entry for low-skilled adversaries , making it easier to launch attacks that are more sophisticated and state of the art .

These trends are driving a tectonic shift in the security landscape and the world . The “ good enough ” approach to cybersecurity is simply no longer good enough for modern threats . As organizations increasingly move business to the cloud , adversaries are advancing their capabilities to exploit this , and abuse features unique to the cloud . We continue to see identity-based attacks take center stage , as adversaries focus on social

engineering attacks that bypass multifactor authentication . The use of legitimate tools to execute an attack , an increasingly prevalent technique , impedes the ability to differentiate between normal activity and a breach .

We are entering an era of a cyber arms race where AI will amplify the impact for both the security professional and the adversary . Organizations cannot afford to fall behind , and the legacy technology of yesterday is no match for the speed and sophistication of the modern adversary . With the release of the CrowdStrike 2024 Global Threat Report , our elite Counter Adversary Operations team is delivering the actionable intelligence you need to stay ahead of today ’ s threats and secure your future .
