New Forms Of Malware

In addition to Malware-as-a-Service, Cisco said it is seeing new, emerging malware tactics. One trend the company found was around a rise in file-less malware, which evades endpoint security technology by staying resident in RAM and makes forensics difficult, Artes said. Cisco also saw rising trends around Fansomware-as-a-Service and anonymized and decentralized infrastructure for CNC, which both obfuscates hackers and allows for greater scalability, he said.
