Experiencing the Cutting Edge of Cybersecurity: Discovering What’s New for 2022

Challenges are brought forth by

• The recent record-setting ransomware attacks.
• The increasing threats are targeting remote workforces and supply chains.
• New government regulations to meet the cybersecurity challenges, which make it more difficult for companies who are already struggling with their security measures put forth by this ever-changing environment.

The past year has seen a significant shift in how organizations operate due to the remote workforce and digital transformation. This has caused many companies to overlook specific security gaps in their incident response and business resiliency plans, creating a unique set of challenges. Studies have shown that organizations are feeling significantly strained by these changes, making it more difficult for them to keep up with the changing landscape of business operations and cyber resiliency.

With the threat of cyberattacks increasing, organizations will need to make sure they are prepared and have adequate security measures in place. This includes implementing robust access control measures, regularly patching systems, monitoring for suspicious activity, and ensuring employees are aware of cyber threats and best practices. Additionally, organizations should remain vigilant in their efforts by performing regular system updates, auditing infrastructure for vulnerabilities, and conducting penetration testing. With these steps in place, businesses can better handle any potential cyber threats this year.

• One such study is the recently released World Economic Forum (WEF)’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2022 report, which shows that less than one-fifth (17%) of cyber leaders feel confident that their organizations are cyber-resilient.
