With the increase in digital transformation that companies have been undergoing over the last 2 years, the number of cyber threats to critical infrastructure and government entities has also increased exponentially, and it is expected that by 2022 they will be more frequent and with greater scope.
That is why today we will talk about what challenges companies face this year.
First of all, studies warn that data theft will generate new forms of extortion, involving new factors such as IOT devices or new devices enabled to operate outside local area networks. In addition, this type of crime will have greater reach thanks to the implementation of 5G networks.
On the other hand, the cybersecurity sector will reveal a huge crisis in the shortage of qualified personnel to deal with these threats and optimally shield companies. This will generate an imbalance between demand and supply, thus increasing salary remuneration.
Another of the issues that are raised about cybersecurity in 2022 are smart cities, which are expected to be an easy target for cybercriminals who will find services such as transportation, lighting, and resource management connected to the networks, generating an opportunity to breach them.
And last but not least are cryptocurrencies, because of their increasingly widespread use and dependence on digital wallets and payment platforms, smartphones have become the target of cyberattacks, it is believed that hackers will be able to use these vulnerabilities to create large-scale attacks.
Currently, many companies have had to digitize their most critical processes. But only a few have created policies and implemented the necessary good practices to prevent these attacks, so it is very important to evaluate what is being done, what can be improved, and how not to have a leak of resources, affect your processes or even worse leak important information.
