Business Leaders are Now Part of the Conversation
An estimated 48% of the board are involved in cybersecurity strategy discussions, showing the line between business and cybersecurity is blurring. Business leaders are recognizing that they must have an understanding of risk and a working knowledge of their organization’s level of cybersecurity and compliance preparedness.
Business leaders must have a working knowledge of the current protections in place, as well as their business’s cyber insurance liability coverage to determine if it is sufficient. To that end, decision-makers need a clear understanding of a company’s cybersecurity posture as it relates to trends and new and developing threats.
As the year progresses, we have noticed a rise of a variety of cybersecurity trends, threats, and other concerns. In this article, we will uncover the three most prominent threats for 2022, as well as how businesses can combat these concerns.
Top Cybersecurity Concerns in 2022
Remote Workforce
As offices gradually re-open their doors, employees are pushing to continue with a work from home or hybrid work model. While businesses want to adapt to employee needs, having a remote workforce carries a variety of security concerns as well.
Increase in Cyberattacks
Today, there is a new attack somewhere on the internet every 39 seconds. These attacks can be extremely harmful to a business, costing millions or even billions of dollars in remediation.
Lack of Resources and Tools
The Great Reshuffle has further depleted already stretched cybersecurity resources, bringing on a lack of modern security tools or no in-house security experts or bandwidth to support these processes.
