The Hottest issues in cyber defense are:
Ransomware Attacks- this continues to be a major concern for businesses dealing with cyber threats, with growing attacks of cybercriminals using increasingly sophisticated techniques to gain access to sensitive data even using free AI knowledge on protected systems, and demand payment in exchange for restoring access.
Data Breaches -these remain a major threat to organizations, with hackers exploiting vulnerabilities in software and systems to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Phishing - those attacks continue to be a popular way for cybercriminals to steal sensitive data, with scammers using increasingly sophisticated techniques to trick users into divulging personal information or downloading malicious software.
Internet of Things (IoT) security threats - With the proliferation of IoT devices indoors and outdoor controlling traffic and other major infrastructures also within a business, securing these devices has become a major challenge, as many are not designed with security in mind.
Transformation to Cloud Security threats - As more and more businesses move their data and applications to the cloud, ensuring the security of these systems has become a top priority, as cybercriminals look for ways to exploit vulnerabilities in a cloud-based infrastructure.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) threat of control and misuse - As AI becomes more prevalent in both consumer and enterprise applications, there is a growing concern about how it can be used to exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems and perpetrate cyber attacks.
Cyber Threat Intelligence - The ability to gather and analyze data on emerging threats is critical to effective cybersecurity, as organizations need to be able to stay ahead of the latest trends and techniques used by cybercriminals. and to protect their data that today is protected by regulations in some countries, by trying to keep business as usual.
