2023 Cyber Security Trends

In 2023, the world is becoming more digital, and as a result, the importance of cyber security continues to grow. Here are some key trends and developments in the field of cyber security that are expected to shape the year:

1. Cloud Security: With more organizations moving their data and applications to the cloud, cloud security will continue to be a major focus in 2023. This will require new approaches to securing cloud environments and protecting data stored in the cloud.

   
   

2. Effects of geopolitical tensions continue: It comes as no surprise that as geopolitical tensions continue to rise across the world, enterprises are increasingly hyper-focused on ensuring their resilience to such geopolitical risk by prioritising infrastructure security within 2023. However, cybersecurity within the public sector is still seriously lacking, especially as the security of the personal information of private citizens, which the sector is tasked with handling on a daily basis is vital to privacy and to compliance with data protection laws and regulations.

   
   

3. Over the course of 2022 we saw countless attacks on healthcare, education, utilities and other critical avenues of the public sector. Given rising tensions, tackling this is all the more crucial going into 2023 and it is something that will become a top priority on government agendas over this next year.

   
   

4. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: AI and ML will play an increasingly important role in detecting and preventing cyber attacks. They can help to automate security processes, identify threats more quickly, and improve incident response times.

   
   

5. Internet of Things (IoT) Security: The growing number of connected devices presents new security challenges that must be addressed. Ensuring the security of IoT devices will be a key concern for individuals and organizations alike.

   
   

6. Cryptojacking: Cryptojacking, or the unauthorized use of someone else’s computing resources to mine cryptocurrency, is becoming a growing threat. This type of attack can slow down devices, consume large amounts of energy, and even cause permanent damage.

   
   

7. 5G Security: With the widespread adoption of 5G networks, security will be a key concern in 2023. Protecting against attacks on 5G infrastructure and ensuring the privacy of 5G networks and devices will be a top priority.

In conclusion, 2023 will bring new challenges and opportunities in the field of cyber security. Organizations and individuals must stay vigilant and employ best practices to protect against cyber attacks and maintain the security of their digital assets.  Brockton Point Solutions is here to support you, please reach out today.
