Factors driving the Predictive Maintenance Market growth
(Rise in the usage of analytical techniques, an increase in need for reduction in maintenance costs of various structures/equipments, etc. are propelling the market growth worldwide)

  • The rise in usage of various analytical techniques like Motor Circuit Analysis, Acoustic-Analysis Monitoring, Infrared Analysis, Vibration Analysis, etc. are fuelling the market growth extensively. SMR’s research reported that in 2021, Vibration Analysis covered almost 23.91% (i.e., around USD 1.02 Billion) of the entire market share. The demand for Vibration Analysis is growing exponentially as it adequately measures the different vibration and frequency levels of the machineries and accurately detects its efficacy. The research study also stated that in almost 90% of all the 3p Induction motors worldwide, the Motor Circuit Analysis technique is used in order to test its performance level each year. 
  • Apart from the surge in demand of a variety of analytical techniques, governments worldwide are sheer-focusing on predictive maintenance to reduce their maintenance expenditure on houses, machineries, etc. As per Property Reporter UK, an average British homeowner’s maintenance cost in 2022 is almost 2,699 pounds (nearly USD 3132.58), which is an increase of around 12% compared to last year. In the North-Western part of the UK, the house maintenance cost has surged by approximately 17% in 2022 compared to the previous year.

The In-Car Connectivity segment is expected to dominate the digital connected living services market.
There services are expected to be available to customers at an annual cost of $1,600 by 2035. Over the next decade, OEMs must identify their connectivity and subscription revenue strategy – in-car experience is expected to earn the lion’s share of revenue at 87% with health, energy, and aftermarket developing as formidable segments. However, the key challenge is to strike the right balance between subscription costs and customer willingness to pay.
The wider ecosystem of connected car offers further growth potential.
OEMs stand to gain further through developing competencies in the wider automotive ecosystem such as energy management services and connected insurance. Tesla, Hyundai, GM, and Ford are not just selling EVs but the entire spectrum of services such as renewable energy generation, energy storage, and V2G technology, required for energy independence. Tesla, GM, and JLR are leveraging connected vehicle data to offer connected insurance services underwritten by insurance companies. A third revenue stream is data monetization partnerships with various stakeholders such as cities, automotive workshops, and others. Several other revenue streams could emerge from a single connected car.
From being able to communicate with drivers, offering AR based driver assist and autonomous driving systems and automatically managed maintenance systems, to managing energy services, insurance and healthcare through the car’s ecosystem. 6G connectivity, V2X technology, and VR repair and maintenance will change the way customers experience the car.

Latest VIPRE Security Group Email Threat Trends Research Exposes Global Phishing and Malware Threat Landscape

Published

on

latest-vipre-security-group-email-threat-trends-research-exposes-global-phishing-and-malware-threat-landscape

The US, UK, Ireland, and Japan emerge as the main source of spam; manufacturing, government, and IT sectors are most victimized; Pikabot top malware family 
LONDON, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — VIPRE Security Group, a global leader and award-winning cybersecurity, privacy, and data protection company, today released its Q1 2024 Email Threat Trends report, based on an analysis of 1.8 billion emails. The findings reveal the evolving landscape of email-based threats and emerging tactics malicious actors are employing.

The US, UK, Ireland, and Japan top the spam sources listThe report identifies the US as the top source of spam emails globally, followed by the U.K., Ireland, and Japan. The US, UK, and Canada are the top three countries most subjected to email-based attacks.
Attackers aim at the manufacturing sectorThe manufacturing, government, and IT sectors are the most victimized by malicious actors. In Q1 2024, the manufacturing sector suffered 43% of email-based attacks, with the government (15%) and IT (11%) trailing well behind. This is a change from Q1 2023, when attackers targeted the financial (25%), healthcare (22%), and education (15%) sectors most often.
Scams surpassing phishing This research warns that ‘scams’ within the spam category are growing in popularity among cybercriminals, overtaking phishing emails in the first quarter of 2024.
There’s been a notable increase in phishing emails masquerading as communications from Human Resources, falsely claiming to relate to employee benefits, compensation, or insurance within a company. These emails contain malicious attachments in .html or .pdf formats, featuring phishing QR codes that redirect recipients to phishing sites upon scanning.
New phishing trends and techniquesIn email phishing campaigns, 75% of emails leverage links, 24% favor attachments, and 1% use QR codes. Attackers are employing links in phishing emails for URL redirection (54%), compromised websites (22%), and newly created domains (15%).
Emerging tactics employed by cybercriminals to execute phishing attacks include the use of .ics calendar invite and .rtf attachment file formats to trick recipients into opening malicious content.
Malspam links and top malware familyEncouraged by the success of password-oriented phishing emails that use links, cybercriminals are opting for malicious links in malspam emails instead of attachments. Malware is increasingly being hidden in cloud storage platforms such as Google Drive. The use of malware-based emails employing attachments has increased to 22% in Q1 2024, from only 3% in Q1 2023.
Due to the void left by the dismantled Qakbot malware, Pikabot has emerged as the top malware family, with IceID a distant second.
Exploiting software vulnerabilitiesCriminals are exploiting a web application vulnerability, most notably Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), focusing on the tag attribute “href”, to circumvent detection by using a variety of tactics such as images as the entire email content, encoding URLs, and directing the victim through multiple URLs.
Malicious actors are also finding success with thread hijacking of NTLM (NT LAN Manager), a security protocol used by Microsoft Windows operating systems for authentication. By hijacking the authentication thread, attackers extract NTLM challenge-response hashes from legitimate SMB (Server Message Block) sessions, to enable them to impersonate authenticated users and gain unauthorized access.
“Criminals are using email with success to scam, infiltrate networks, and unleash malicious payloads,” warns Usman Choudhary, Chief Product and Technology Officer, VIPRE Security Group. “We’re witnessing bad actors relentlessly exploiting human vulnerabilities and software flaws, circumventing email gateways and security measures with alarming precision. Robust email and endpoint defenses, coupled with a vigilant human frontline, remain our strongest defense against these unyielding attacks.”
