TÜV Rheinland Identifies Pathways to Effective Cybersecurity
Tuesday, December 12, 2023
BOXBOROUGH, Mass., Dec. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- TÜV Rheinland's Cybersecurity Trends 2024 reveal how companies can protect themselves from cyberattacks in an increasingly digital and connected world. The attack surface has expanded significantly, especially for small and medium-sized businesses, which often underestimate their vulnerability. But even large companies with high security standards are not immune to the advanced techniques of professional hacking organizations.
"The alarming increase in cyberattacks in recent years has made it clear that companies and institutions of all sizes should consider cybersecurity as a strategic priority," says Petr Láhner, Business Executive Vice President Industrial Services & Cybersecurity at TÜV Rheinland.
"Beside the disturbing increase in cyberattacks, the rise in the average cost of cyber breaches is an additional concern. Attack methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and cybercrime has turned into a purchasable service. According to last year's FBI Internet Crime Report, the damage caused by cyberattacks increased by 48% from the prior year. Without investments in advanced security measures, training, and awareness, these trends will continue to grow at alarming levels," highlighted Sven Nowak, Head of Cybersecurity and Functional Safety at TÜV Rheinland North America.
Ten key trends for 2024
TÜV Rheinland's Cybersecurity Trends 2024 provide an overview of ten key trends that organizations need to prepare for. These include:
-- Stricter cybersecurity regulations: These will create a common framework
for increasing the resilience of targeted systems.
-- Faster ransomware attacks: Ransomware remains the number one threat and
poses an enormous challenge to government, business, and society.
-- Threat to economic survival from cyberattacks: The financial,
operational, legal, and reputational damage of cyber incidents are
higher than ever.
-- Supply chain attacks: In case of attacks within the supply chain of a
software or hardware product, malicious modules or components are
integrated into the product by third-party providers or suppliers.
-- Massive connectivity: Currently, there are reportedly nearly 42 billion
connected IoT devices, with the number expected to rise to 75 billion by
2035. And anything that is connected is vulnerable.
-- Organized Cybercrime: The cybercrime of the future will feature improved
organizational structures, and the formation of alliances and
partnerships.
-- Formation of cybersecurity alliances: Joint defense alliances and
coalitions of companies and institutions are becoming increasingly
important.
-- Use of AI in cyberattacks: Automated mass attacks via phishing that are
tailored individually to the targeted companies are becoming more and
more common.
-- Increase in vulnerabilities: The drastic increase in the number of
security vulnerabilities is making vulnerability management a monumental
task.
-- Automotive hacking: Advancing digitalization, autonomous driving and
increased connectivity pose new challenges for the for the
cybersecurity.
TÜV Rheinland offers solutions and recommendations to help organizations prepare for these challenges and improve their cyber defense capabilities. For detailed information on the ten Cybersecurity Trends 2024, visit www.tuv.com/cybersecurity-trends at TÜV Rheinland.
