Prioritizing Security Now

Join host Brad Koontz and Cybersecurity expert Michael Steel as they discuss the top trends in enterprise security and how to navigate them for your business. 
Our experts discuss their top 3 security concerns in 2024:

1. Ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure
2. Deepfakes and disinformation campaigns
3. Insider threats and identity breaches

To begin, let's dive deeper into each of these concerns:

1. Ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure - With cybercriminals increasingly targeting vital systems, organizations should be prepared for the potential impact of ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure. This involves not only securing IT networks but also investing in robust cybersecurity measures for operational technology (OT) systems.
2. Deepfakes and disinformation campaigns - The rapid advancement of AI and machine learning has led to the rise of deepfakes, synthetic media that can manipulate and deceive even experts. Businesses must be aware of the potential harm from deepfake-based disinformation campaigns and invest in countermeasures to detect and mitigate their impact on brand reputation and public trust.
3. Insider threats and identity breaches - Insider threats, whether intentional or accidental, pose a significant risk to organizations. As remote work becomes the norm, ensuring strong access management, user training, and monitoring of user behavior will be crucial in preventing and mitigating insider threats and potential identity breaches.

By taking proactive steps to address these security concerns, business leaders can help their organizations stay ahead of the curve and maintain a strong security posture in 2024 and beyond.
