Experts warn that zero-day flaws will be exploited at mass scale, while the adoption of AI technology will lead to a rise in advanced social engineering attacks.
The cybersecurity landscape is always in a state of flux, but certain developments in 2023 shook up the sector.
Constant tech developments led to new threats, with the rise of AI technology creating new ways to defend and attack security systems. A report at the end of 2023 suggest most Irish businesses faced a cyberattack during the year, highlighting the dangers.
Meanwhile, cyberattacks continue to target larger businesses and critical infrastructure, with examples such as the disruption to most of Iran’s petrol stations showing just how damaging and widespread a successful attack can be.
As we move into the unknown of 2024, various cybersecurity experts have shared their predictions for how cybersecurity will evolve this year.
Zero-day flaws will be exploited at scale
With everyday devices getting constant updates, it seems inevitable that vulnerabilities manage to slip through the net and go undiscovered – until either security researchers or attackers manage to find it.
But…
