SANS Institute's annual report identifies the most dangerous cyberattack techniques of 2024.During the RSA conference keynote, five new cyberattack techniques were discussed.AI-powered child sextortion is among the new attack techniques and requires careful education and awareness.Use of generative AI can negatively impact public trust in political campaigns, thereby requiring increased security protocols.Offensive cyber operations can also be automated with AI, leading to quicker exploitation of vulnerabilities.Technical debt is becoming increasingly critical in enterprise cybersecurity, posing challenges to the security infrastructure.The decreasing cost of creating deepfakes is complicating identity verification, requiring a risk-based approach.Collaboration between tech companies, political parties, academia, and grassroots organizations is important for ensuring accountability.Leveraging automation and intelligence on the defensive side is recommended to combat offensive cyber operationsOrganizations need to assess the likelihood of cyber breaches and invest in appropriate identity verification measures.
