__It's no secret that cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving. Every year we see new and more sophisticated attacks that take advantage of the latest technology trends. __ As we head into 2022, here are five new challenges that businesses need to be aware of:

1. Increase in Cyberattacks As the number of cyberattacks increases, businesses need to be prepared. They need to have strong cybersecurity policies and procedures in place to protect their data and systems. These attacks can have a devastating effect on a business, causing data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage.

2. Supply Chain Attacks Are on the Rise One of the most common types of cyberattacks is known as a supply chain attack. This is where an attacker targets a business by compromising one of its suppliers or other third-party vendors. These attacks are becoming more common as companies rely on the service of third-party providers. The danger of these attacks is that they can be challenging to detect and can have a ripple effect, compromising the security of multiple businesses.

3. The Cyber Pandemic Continues The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the cybersecurity landscape. The remote working boom has created new opportunities for attackers, who have taken advantage of the situation with a dramatic increase in phishing and other social engineering attacks. This trend is expected to continue as more businesses transition to remote work in the new year.

4. Cloud Services Are A Primary Target As businesses move more data and applications to the cloud, they become a prime target for attackers. Cloud services are often seen as an easy way for attackers to access sensitive data. This is a significant concern for businesses, as a recent study found that nearly 60% of companies have experienced a cloud-related security incident in the past year.

This attack can be devastating for a business, resulting in lost data and downtime. To defend against ransomware attacks, companies need to ensure a robust backup and disaster recovery plan are in place. Ransomware attacks are rising, with a recent report finding that they will increase by nearly 300% in 2021. This trend is expected to continue in the new year as attackers become more sophisticated and target more businesses.

As we move into the new year, businesses need to be aware of these trends and take steps to protect themselves. To defend against these threats, businesses need to invest in robust security solutions to detect and block the latest attacks. They also need to keep their employees up-to-date on cybersecurity best practices and ensure they have a solid backup and disaster recovery plan. By understanding the risks, they can take steps to protect themselves against these sophisticated attacks.
