What Are Your Soft Targets For A Cyber Attack?

Based on analysis of cyber attack patterns in 2015,, a report from Hewlett Packard Enterprise predicts likely trends in attacks for this year. The report, released last month, is summarized by information technology writer Ericka Chickowski on DarkReading.Com. “The application layer,” she writes, “has become the biggest battlefield.” So-called banking Trojans, which exploit vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office, are first on her list of five areas to watch. Another finding, one that no doubt will surprise some Apple partisans, is that while it’s still relatively low, the rate of attacks on the iOS operating system is increasing at a faster rate than those on Android.
