8 Cybersecurity Predictions Shaping The Future Of Cyber Defense
HelpNet Security, Monday, March 25th, 2024
Among Gartner's top predictions are the collapse of the cybersecurity skills gap and the reduction of employee-driven cybersecurity incidents through the adoption of generative AI (GenAI).
Two-thirds of global 100 organizations are expected to extend directors' and officers' insurance to cybersecurity leaders due to personal legal exposure. Furthermore, battling malinformation is projected to cost enterprises more than $500 billion.
'As we start moving beyond what's possible with GenAI, solid opportunities are emerging to help solve a number of perennial issues plaguing cybersecurity, particularly the skills shortage and unsecure human behavior. The scope of the top predictions this year is clearly not on technology, as the human element continues to gain far more attention. Any CISO looking to build an effective and sustainable cybersecurity program must make this a priority,' said Deepti Gopal, Director Analyst at Gartner.
