AUSTIN, Texas - August 20, 2024 -CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) released the 2024 Threat Hunting Report, highlighting the latest adversary trends, campaigns and tactics based on the frontline intelligence from CrowdStrike's elite threat hunters and intelligence analysts. The report reveals a rise in nation-state and eCrime adversaries exploiting legitimate credentials and identities to evade detection and bypass legacy security controls, as well as a rise in hands-on-keyboard intrusions, cross-domain attacks, and cloud control plane exploits.
Key findings include:
"For over a decade, we've vigilantly tracked the most prolific hacktivist, eCrime, and nation-state adversaries," said Adam Meyers, Head of Counter Adversary Operations at CrowdStrike.
