Malware as a Service (MaaS) allows cybercriminals with limited expertise to access sophisticated tools for cyberattacks through a subscription model. Sitting alongside software as a service (SaaS), MaaS has gained rapid popularity, with research indicating it was responsible for 57% of cyber threats in the second half of 2024. The model significantly lowers barriers for attackers, enabling them to operate similarly to legitimate businesses. This trend was marked by a staggering 300% increase in malware threats during the third quarter of 2024.
MaaS offers advanced capabilities to those lacking the technical expertise to develop the tools themselves, driving rapid growth in the MaaS market.
Recent research found the MaaS model was responsible for 57% of all cyber threats detected in the second half of 2024, a significant increase from earlier in the year.
