Discover key insights into top threat trends, including the explosive growth of attacks on operational technology (OT) in the enterprise, increasing destructive attacks - with ransomware attacks up 67 percent in 2019 - and the most common initial infection vectors.
The annual X-Force threat intelligence index sheds light on the biggest cyber risks that organisations face today, with data and insights collected over the past year.
Based on IBM X-Force analysis of threat data from hundreds of millions of endpoints and servers, spam sensors, and IBM Security-managed services and incident response engagements, the X-Force threat intelligence index gives security, risk management and IT teams clear insights into attack methods and the weaknesses threat actors attempt to exploit.
Amid cyberattacks, how does the supply chain stay resilient?

How to protect our critical infrastructure from attack
On February 2
nd the largest ever compilation of breached usernames and passwords was leaked online. Known as COMB, it contained 3.2 billion unique email/password pairs, including the credentials for the Oldsmar water plant in Florida (not pictured here).
Three days later an unknown attacker entered Oldsmar’s computer systems and attempted to manipulate the pH in the city’s water to dangerously high acidic levels by increasing sodium hydroxide (lye) by 100 times. Although the attack was foiled and the lye levels returned to normal, the incident highlighted the ease with which cybercriminals are increasingly able to target critical national infrastructure (CNI).

Cyberattacks evolved in 2020 as threat actors sought to profit from the unprecedented socioeconomic, business and political challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.
In 2020, IBM Security X-Force observed attackers pivoting their attacks to businesses for which global Covid-19 response efforts heavily relied, such as hospitals, medical and pharmaceutical manufacturers, as well as energy companies powering the Covid-19 supply chain.
According to the 2021 X-Force Threat Intelligence Index, cyberattacks on healthcare, manufacturing, and energy doubled from the year prior, with threat actors targeting organisations that could not afford downtime due to risks of disrupting medical efforts or critical supply chains.
In fact, manufacturing and energy were the most attacked industries in 2020, second only to the finance and insurance sector. Contributing to this was attackers taking advantage of the nearly 50% increase in vulnerabilities in industrial control systems (I
