TechTarget cites Flashpoint’s State of Cyber Threat Intelligence Report.
“The threat intelligence vendor warned that threat actors are increasingly combining known vulnerabilities, stolen credentials and exposed data to wreak maximum damage.”
Flashpoint warned that cyber threat actors are converging vulnerabilities, stolen credentials, and exposed data to maximize operational and financial damage, according to reporting by TechTarget.
What threat trend did Flashpoint highlight in TechTarget’s reporting?
Flashpoint warned that threat actors are increasingly combining multiple attack vectors rather than relying on a single technique. This convergence enables attackers to accelerate intrusions and amplify downstream impact.
Why does threat-vector convergence increase risk for organizations?
When vulnerabilities, stolen credentials, and exposed data are used together, attackers can bypass layered defenses more efficiently. Flashpoint notes this convergence significantly increases both the speed and severity of attacks.
How does Flashpoint track converging cyber threats?
Flashpoint analyzes threat actor behavior across vulnerabilities, credential exposure, and illicit data ecosystems to identify how attacks are chained together. These findings are detailed in the State of Cyber Threat Intelligence Report.
