Predicting What 2022 Holds for Cybersecurity
2021 was a fascinating and somewhat terrifying year for cybersecurity, as all our fears regarding cyber-threats have come true in one way or another. 2021 was tricky, as many organizations have been slow to adapt to the new security climate. Predictions aside, complacency is not an option if you plan to survive and thrive in 2022. Rest assured, the future of cybersecurity is bright, but it will come with its own set of challenges. We look forward into the future because the sooner we can start adapting strategy, policies, and technologies, the better off everyone will be in the long run. Predictions can be both exciting and terrifying at the same time, so please put on your seat belt and helmets.
|The Cybersecurity Talent Drought Will Get Much Worse
The cybersecurity talent shortage that affects the industry is only going to get worse. At one point in 2021, there were 500,000 unfilled cybersecurity jobs in the U.S. That's a figure that is likely to increase due to the continued growth of ransomware, data breaches, and other cyberattacks.
Faced with this challenge, businesses will find it increasingly difficult to protect their networks and data. Services and specific technology partnerships will continue help fill and protect that which is sacred, but further help may be on the way from an unlikely place: artificial intelligence (AI). AI has the potential to detect malware on networks before it is spotted by employees. Along with machine learning, these technologies can better analyze vast quantities of data more quickly than humans, detecting sneaky issues such as phishing attacks, privilege escalations, data exfiltration, and insider threats.
