In 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, the continuing shift to hybrid work has become an advantage for cybercriminals. For 2022, we can assume more of the same as well as several worsening threats to keep us on our toes.
McAfee and FireEye released their 2022 Threat Predictions, inspecting the top cybersecurity threats they expect businesses will face in 2022.
Bad actors have taken the word of success techniques from 2021, which includes the ones making headlines tied to ransomware, nation-states, social media, and the moving reliance on a remote workforce. They are expected to pivot the ones into next year’s campaigns and grow in sophistication, wielding the capability to wreak more havoc across the globe.
In the recently combined entity, skilled engineers and security architects offer a preview of how the threat landscape might look in 2021 and how these new or evolving threats could potentially impact enterprises, countries, and civilians.
“Over this past year, we have seen cyber criminals get smarter and quicker at retooling their tactics to follow new bad actor schemes — from ransomware to nation-states — and we don’t anticipate that changing in 2022,” said Raj Samani, fellow and chief scientist at McAfee.
With the evolving threat landscape and the continued impact of the global pandemic, it is crucial that enterprises stay aware of the cybersecurity trends so that they can be proactive and actionable in protecting their information.
