Cybercriminals combine social engineering techniques with ongoing application vulnerabilities to install advanced malware on both customer devices to compromise financial accounts and employee devices to compromise corporate networks. Advanced malware effectively bypasses authentication technologies and readily evades anti-virus applications. Although some of the more advanced prevention techniques are more successful, they are virtually unmanageable due to the substantial effort required for configuration and ongoing maintenance. A new approach to cybercrime protection is desperately needed.
