The Unseen Threats: Anticipating Cybersecurity Risks in 2024

Matthew Rosenquist, Cybersecurity Insights

Cybersecurity risks increase every year and bludgeon victims who fail to prepare properly. It can feel like crossing a major highway while blindfolded. Many never see the catastrophe about to happen, until it occurs. Cybersecurity predictions offer a glimpse at the dangerous oncoming traffic and help leaders develop strategies to navigate their journey safely. If we blindly step off the curb it will eventually end poorly when the luck runs out. For those interested in a better understanding of the oncoming risks, this is the information you are looking for.

Some dangers are familiar and persistent. We know the pool of threats and attackers will increase, more hacks will occur, credentials will be haphazardly mismanaged, disinformation will run rampant, new buzzwords and acronyms will be born, troves of data will be harvested, the battle to keep technology patched will continue to be problematic, ransomware and cybercrime will continue to thrive, and the headlines will be regularly filled with sad stories of digital victimization. This is the normal cadence the industry expects and although difficult to keep pace, the cybersecurity world is able to tread these waters.
