As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, it's essential to stay ahead of the curve by implementing the latest security technologies. Here are some of the top cybersecurity trends to watch out for.
Key Takeaways:- Ransomware attacks are rising, with threat actors deploying more sophisticated phishing attacks through machine learning, Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS), and more coordinated sharing on the dark web
- Social engineering attacks are growing more sophisticated
- Increased adoption of IoT devices creates more potential entry points for malicious actors
- The widespread adoption of remote working has increased the need for cloud-based services and infrastructure, bringing new security concerns for businesses, such as misconfiguration, exposed data, and account compromise
- The zero-trust security model is emerging as an effective method to prevent data breaches
- Organizations are moving towards multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions such as Google Authenticator, Authy, and Microsoft Authenticator to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks
1. Artificial Intelligence risk detection
AI risk detection is a technology that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect suspicious activity on a company's networks and systems. AI risk detection can identify potential cyber-attacks quickly by analyzing patterns or anomalies that may indicate malicious activity. This technology can also analyze user behavior on a system or network and alert administrators if anything looks out of place. Furthermore, AI can detect malicious activity faster than humans and help identify patterns in large data sets that might otherwise go unnoticed. In 2020, organizations that embraced AI technology and suffered a data breach saved an average of $3.58 million – undeniably proving the cost-effectiveness of this solution.2. Cloud-based security trends
More and more businesses are turning to cloud-based solutions to securely and efficiently manage their data, which is now vulnerable to cyber threats. So, to be safe from cloud-based cyber vulnerabilities, organizations must ensure that they have robust security measures such as encryption, authorization controls, and access management protocols. Organizations should take steps to protect themselves from cloud-based threats, as the average cost of a data breach stands at an astronomical $3.86 million. When it comes to safeguarding against cyber-attacks, organizations must be mindful of not only data breaches but also the evolving trends in network security and cloud security issues such as:- Mitigating the risks of non-compliance across multiple regulatory bodies
- Ensuring a reliable IT staff to meet cloud computing needs
- Cloud migration challenges
- A plethora of access points introduces more chances for malicious attackers to breach security
- Remote access without authorization, weak passwords, unsecured networks, and the misapplication of personal devices can create insider threats – some unwitting and some deliberate
