2024 Cybersecurity Trends

As we enter the second quarter of 2024, staying ahead of the cybersecurity curve is not just a competitive advantage – it’s crucial for survival. In keeping with ProTech’s mission to create a layered security approach that helps mitigate risks and keeps users informed, understanding and adapting to emerging trends is one of the reasons for our success.

From sneaky AI-powered threats to the rise of sophisticated ransomware attacks, this year’s cybersecurity scene continues to promise both opportunities and challenges. In fact, the cliche “it’s a jungle out there” may prove to be accurate! At ProTech, we know you need a compass and a map to navigate a jungle successfully – so we keep our fingers on the pulse of cybersecurity trends.

Let’s take a look at the pivotal trends shaping the 2024 cybersecurity landscape from a few of the top thought leaders in the business:

The World Economic Forum forecasts the adoption of specialized language models that provide more tailored and actionable insights to adapt swiftly to evolving threats. In addition, newly required regulations will encourage cybersecurity expertise in the boardroom.

Forbes predicts eight trends to watch, including the rise of cybersecurity AI, the escalation of ransomware attacks, and the progression of data privacy regulations.

Code Intelligence also offers eight predictors – some overlap with both Forbes and the World Economic Forum. However, the team at Code Intelligence adds vulnerable cloud environments, supply chain compromises, and nation-state attacks to the list.
