| | DECEMBER - 2021ENTERPRISE SECURITY6The fact that the technology landscape is constantly changing isn't a new phenomenon, but it's certainly been taken to new heights in the last year. The word "disruption" adequately describes the experiences of countless organizations amid COVID-19--no one could have predicted its impact on business, technology and cybersecurity.It's no surprise that COVID-19 and the resulting shift to remote work had major implications for the world of cybersecurity. For many, it involved unplanned cloud migrations and swift procurement of IT products and services to accommodate a newly remote landscape. In the effort to keep business operations running, many companies rushed typical security measures or even side-stepped them entirely, creating new levels of vulnerability and risk across all industries.The sophistication of techniques criminals are using is growing, too. There's an increasing emphasis on extortion attacks, where criminals steal a company's data and encrypt it so they can't access it. Afterward, cybercriminals will blackmail the company, threatening to release its private data unless a ransom is paid. The burden of this cyberthreat is significant given the sensitive data on the line as well as the economic impact of paying the ransom.While AI presents a major opportunity for stronger threat detection among businesses, the evolution and increased use of this technology goes both ways. Criminal networks are taking advantage of AI to automate their attacks, and they are turning to data-poisoning and model-stealing techniques to do so. With the rapid and widespread adoption of remote work following COVID-19, the necessity for cloud-based services and infrastructure increased drastically. Going into 2022 and beyond, this trend will only continue to grow as more businesses adopt cloud-hosted processes. From what we've seen so far, many of the cybersecurity trends that we've seen in the last few years have been accelerated by COVID-19, and organizations should take these risks seriously. Being proactive will be one of the most important actions businesses can take in 2022-- organizations who come to terms with the fact that security is no longer an optional investment will more successfully withstand the cybersecurity challenges they now face.Here, we have analyze the emerging threat landscape that's come as a result, and what cybersecurity trends pose the most risk in 2022 and beyond.
