Cybersecurity Trends That CISOs Must Consider in 2022

Cybersecurity Trends That CISOs Must Consider in 2022

We must be aware of the newest trends in cybersecurity as we enter the new year. Pandemic has taught us that businesses need to be prepared for cyberattacks.

Since then, companies have recognized the importance of cybersecurity and have been implementing measures to secure their networks. However, with new threats emerging constantly, it’s important to stay up-to-date with the latest trends in cybersecurity.

This post will share some of the most critical trends that CISOs must consider during 2022.

Rise of Ransomware

CISOs need to be aware that ransomware and data hijacking will continue to be a major threat in 2022. This is because working from home has created a large gap that cybercriminals have been able to exploit.

We need to ensure that their company’s networks are secure and that employees are trained to protect themselves from cyberattacks. The companies need to plan to deal with ransomware and data hijacking attacks.

All businesses, especially the banking sector, must be prepared for ransomware and have contingency plans. CISOs must ensure that their bank’s security measures are up to date and effective.

Use of AI by Cybercriminals

AI can be used to create more sophisticated and effective attacks, so CISOs need to be aware of the potential threats posed by AI. We need to take steps to protect our networks from these threats. And for that, we might want to dive deep into AI research and development.

Website Cloning

One of the critical trends that CISOs and other cybersecurity personnel must notice is the increasing use of website cloning by cybercriminals. Companies need to develop better methods for verifying the legitimacy of websites and educating their users on how to do this.

Increasing Use of Cryptocurrency

Another critical trend towards ensuring cybersecurity CISCOs must follow the increasing use of cryptocurrencies for criminal activities. Companies must implement measures to protect their users from being scammed using cryptocurrencies and educate them on using these currencies safely.

Cryptocurrency payment methods make holders easy targets for cybercriminals, who can use any type of ransomware to hijack and use their data. This is a serious threat that must be considered when developing cybersecurity strategies.

Use of Personal Devices

The use of personal devices in the workplace has increased during the pandemic, which has created new cybersecurity risks. CISOs need to be aware of these risks and take steps to mitigate them. A personal device may be any machine, from a smartphone to a laptop.

Personal devices are often less protected than corporate devices and are more vulnerable to attacks. As more and more people bring their devices to work, the risk of cyberattacks increases.

As technology evolves, so do the methods used by cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities. Therefore, we must continuously update their cybersecurity strategies to protect their organizations against all types of attacks.

Contactless Payment

Cybersecurity personnel must protect customer data, especially when contactless payments become more prevalent. Companies must ensure that all systems handling customer data are secure and PCI-compliant.

Finally, businesses must ensure that their cybersecurity teams are well-equipped to deal with these new threats. They must allocate resources to stay ahead of the curve and focus on website cloning, AI-assisted cyber-attacks, ransomware, the use of personal devices, cryptocurrency, and contactless payments.
