During the three months between July and September 2024, the National KE-CIRT/CC detected over 657.8 million cyber threat events, which represented a 41.87 per cent decrease from the 1,131,696,878 threat events detected in the previous period, April - June 2024.
In response to the cyber threats observed, the Communication Authority continued to enhance the dissemination of cyber threat advisories to critical information infrastructure sectors.
In line with global trends, the ongoing exploitation of "system vulnerabilities" may be associated to the continued proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices which are inherently insecure.
Other weaknesses include system misconfigurations and deprecated
software, and the dynamism occasioned by new and emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI).
