2024's Plot Twists and What Lies Ahead
The Numbers That Matter
A staggering 369.01 million detections across 8.44 million endpoints marked 2024's threat landscape.
That translates to 702 potential security threats every minute - imagine eleven new cyber threats emerging every second somewhere in India.
If these numbers don't make you rethink your security posture, what will?
Evolution of Threats
The shift in detection patterns tells an interesting story - behaviour-based detections rose from 12.5% to 14.5% in 2024.
This isn't just a number game; it's evidence that attackers are evolving faster than our traditional security playbooks.
No Industry Left Behind
Healthcare emerged as the prime target (21.82% of all attacks), followed by hospitality (19.57%) and banking (17.38%).
The cloud security landscape shifted dramatically, with 62% of all detections occurring in cloud environments - a clear signal for 2025's security priorities.

The Road Ahead
The Bottom Line
2024 taught us a crucial lesson - cybersecurity isn't about securing everything. That's like attempting to eat every dish at a buffet - ambitious but impractical.?
The real win lies in identifying and protecting what drives your business forward, not building Fort Knox.
As we step into 2025, the question isn't whether we'll face new threats, but how we'll evolve to meet them.
The future belongs to those who can align their security strategies with business objectives, turning security from a roadblock into a business enabler.
Stay tuned for my next piece where we'll dive into industry-specific impacts and what they mean for your security strategy.
