Enea identifies trends that will shape the mobile industry in 2022


Nation states will ramp up mobile cyber attacks; hyperscalers will mimic Google and introduce powerful proprietary encryption protocols; and new edge clouds could make the last mile vulnerable.

These are amongst the major trends Enea has highlighted in a new report about top trends that will shape the mobile industry in 2022. Each year, Enea surveys a cross-section of mobile industry thought leaders and experts to identify the key trends for the next 12 months.

For 2022, those thought leaders included ABI Research, Analysys Mason and Strategy Analytics. The trends in 2022 include the following.

State-sponsored cyber attacks accelerate and evolve: 2022 will undoubtedly bring an increase in the number and sophistication of nation state cyber attacks on mobile telecom infrastructure, the report finds.

As tensions between global power brokers intensifies in hotspots such as Taiwan, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, mobile networks’ value as a target for espionage and disruption will soar.

Furthermore, IT/OT/telco convergence and 5G’s expanded attack surface including 2G, 3G and 4G weaknesses will all provide ripe terrain for achieving geopolitical ends via cyber warfare.

Hyperscaler protocols dictate terms to operators: Complex encryption protocols, such as Google’s QUIC, based on UDP, were meant to keep subscribers safe and improve web and video performance, and they have.

However, they’ve left operators scrambling to maintain the traffic visibility they need to stay in the game, the report states. Expect more trouble ahead as UDP dominates traffic, and newer encryption protocols like eSNI and DoH/DoT become the norm.

Video delivery shifts to new edge clouds: According to analysts, the edge cloud market for mobile operators is set to grow significantly in 2022. Ultra-low latency applications like live multi-angle sports streaming and cloud gaming will be at the forefront of this growth. While Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) have been bringing content and users closer together for many years, the nature of the edge cloud tilts the game in favour of mobile operators, who have ready-to-go locations across thousands of towns and cities.

Ransomware, attacker behaviour to shape IT security in 2021


Mumbai, Nov 23 (IANS): Ransomware and fast-changing attacker behaviours from the advanced to entry level will shape the threat landscape and IT security in 2021, says a report by cybersecurity company Sophos on Monday.

The gap between ransomware operators at different ends of the skills and resource spectrum will increase, according to the “Sophos 2021 Threat Report”.

At the high end, the big-game hunting ransomware families will continue to refine and change their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) to become more evasive and nation-state-like in sophistication, targeting larger organisations with multimillion-dollar ransom demands.

In 2020, such families included Ryuk and RagnarLocker.

At the other end of the spectrum, Sophos anticipates an increase in the number of entry level, apprentice-type attackers looking for menu-driven, ransomware-for-rent, such as Dharma, that allows them to target high volumes of smaller prey.

Another ransomware trend is “secondary extortion”, where alongside the data encryption the attackers steal and threaten to publish sensitive or confidential information if their demands are not met.

In 2020, Sophos reported on Maze, RagnarLocker, Netwalker, REvil, and others using this approach.

“The ransomware business model is dynamic and complex. During 2020, Sophos saw a clear trend towards adversaries differentiating themselves in terms of their skills and targets,” Chester Wisniewski, Principal Research Scientist, Sophos, said in a statement.

“However, we’ve also seen ransomware families sharing best-of-breed tools and forming self-styled collaborative ‘cartels’,” said Chester Wisniewski, principal research scientist, Sophos.

The company also anticipates that next year, everyday threats such as commodity malware, including loaders and botnets, or human-operated Initial Access Brokers, will demand serious security attention.

Moreover, all ranks of adversaries will increasingly abuse legitimate tools, well known utilities and common network destinations to evade detection and security measures and thwart analysis and attribution, said the report.

Additional trends analysed in the report include the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on IT…
