Trend Micro Incorporated has published its Security Predictions Report for 2024, titled ‘Critical Scalability‘.
The report emphasises the essential requirement for organisations to adopt an advanced multi layered security approach to counter the expanding attack surface.
Trend Micro’s insights
In 2024, the report highlights an increasing number of enterprises embracing artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) technologies, with around 69% of IT leaders considering the integration of machine learning as a crucial operational priority.
While these technological advancements are expected to drive organisational growth, they also bring significant risks, as malicious actors exploit these innovations to orchestrate attacks.
Moreover, the report predicts a notable shift in the phishing landscape due to the widespread adoption and enhanced capabilities of Generative AI (GenAI) and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs).
The evolution allows for the creation of highly realistic audio and video content at a lower cost, leading to a rise in sophisticated scams such as business email compromise (BEC), virtual kidnapping and similar frauds.
Additionally, the 2024 landscape is anticipated to witness increased vulnerabilities in cloud environments, alongside targeted attacks on software supply chains and blockchain technology, potentially resulting in ransom demands or attempts to encrypt entire blockchains.
The 2024 Trend Micro Security Predictions Report underscores the company‘s steadfast commitment to cybersecurity.
“Vital for organisations”
Dr. Moataz Bin Ali, Regional Vice President and Managing Director, MMEA, Trend Micro commented: “Understanding cybersecurity trends is vital for organisations navigating the rapidly shifting tech landscape.
“With the launch of our Security Predictions Report for 2024, we aim to illuminate the path forward for enterprises in these dynamic times.
“Trend Micro is committed to not only identifying emerging cyber-threats but also equipping businesses and individuals with the strategies and tools to navigate this complex digital terrain.
“This report is a testament to our dedication to proactive security, empowering regional organisations to stay ahead in an ever evolving cyber landscape.”
