Cybersecurity firm Bridewell has highlighted the critical trends and emerging dangers cyber teams must watch out for in 2024.
Its report, Cyber Security: What to Expect in 2024, is informed by insights collected through continuous monitoring from its 24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC) and input from its dedicated consultants and cyber experts.
Martin Riley, Director of Managed Security Services at Bridewell, said: “Looking ahead to 2024, we can see how emerging technology tools, sophisticated attack methods and the eruption of AI are transforming how criminals organise and operate, but also how legitimate organisations can defend themselves. To strengthen their security posture at a time of great change, organisations must avoid dependence on technology as the sole answer.
“They must acquire greater visibility and threat intelligence and develop their processes and technologies to ensure they are leveraging sophisticated threat-informed managed detection and response (MDR) and extended detection and response (XDR) capabilities.”
Among the challenges on the horizon for next year are the growth of Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS); the rise of malware that thinks for itself; cyber strikes to the supply chain; the energy sector facing heightened risks; and cyberattacks corresponding with major political events with the UK government stepping up security to prevent threat actors from entering networks or disrupting proceedings during 2024.
