Cybersecurity attacks became a lot more sophisticated in 2021 with remote workers reaching a record high worldwide under the pandemic circumstances.
According to the Identity Theft Research Center (ITRC), there was a 17% increase in the number of recorded breaches last year compared to the previous year. The Security Magazine has published a very interesting article on the Top 9 Security Predictions for 2022 with advice on nine key trends that organisations need to consider for this year ahead, including the Bad Bot Tsunami, the Rise of Digital Wallets, and the convergence of IT and operational technology (OT). Gaining knowledge of predictions such as these assists organisations in determining the relevant methods to deal with the threats that they will most likely be exposed to which can only have beneficial effects. Any delays in trying to deal with such threats, on the other hand, can result in detrimental consequences that can have unnecessary serious financial costs for an organisation.
