Date : March 24, 2016

The goal of this review is to present the trends regarding attacks and threats, and to help readers to better protect their assets.

For 2015, Cert-IST identified several major topics:

  • Attacks on Adobe Flash software
  • Offensive security unveiled: the case of "Hacking-Team"
  • Dridex and Crypto-Locker: very well-orchestrated nuisances
  • TV5-Monde: the rise of sabotage attacks
  • Data theft: more and more cases publicized
  • SCADA, connected cars and Internet of things: targets for future attacks
  • ...

The report presents also (in Chapter 3) the different productions of the Cert-IST in 2015 and associated statistics. We can see a constant increase of the various publications over the past six years.
