The document provides CYFIRMA's predictions for cybersecurity threats and risks in 2022. Some of the top predictions include: 1) Cybercriminals will increasingly arm IoT/IIoT devices and operational technology for cybercrime as the number of connected devices grows dramatically. 2) Cybercrime will become more specialized and targeted, behaving more like a legitimate industry and making cybercrime an investment-worthy asset class. 3) Cybercriminals may embark on kinetic cyberattacks that cause real-world physical damage beyond just non-violent attacks. 4) The war for intellectual property theft will intensify as state-sponsored groups target industries like health research and pharmaceuticals.

The document provides 10 predictions for the cybersecurity industry in 2022. It predicts that critical infrastructure will be a prime target for both cybercriminals and nation-states. Ransomware attacks will grow significantly in scope and impact, potentially disrupting entire societies. Cyber attacks will increasingly be used as a tool of foreign policy and domestic control by oppressive governments. Artificial intelligence and quantum computing developments will further escalate the arms race between attackers and defenders. Overall, 2022 will be a very challenging year for cybersecurity as threats become more powerful and widespread.

Most respondents to the survey say they plan to increase their security spending in 2016, with the majority planning to spend between $50,000-$100,000, compared to 2015 where most spent $0-10,000. Experts predict the global cybersecurity market will increase nearly 8% in 2016 to $81 billion total. The statistics are seen as conservative, with one expert believing over 80% of organizations will spend over $100,000 due to increased geo-political conflicts playing out through hacktivism and cybercriminals transitioning to data exfiltration for profit, often exploiting DNS vulnerabilities. There was also a sharp rise in awareness of ransomware among respondents.

Due to the high value of its supply chain, commodities, transactions, and intellectual property, the oil and gas industry is an ideal target for socially-engineered email attacks. Oil producers, brokers, and transporters must learn how to use preventative measures to mitigate the risks of falling prey to a spear phishing attack.

Cyberspace is rapidly transforming our lives – how we live, interact, govern and create value. With the JAM (Jan Dhan, Aadhaar and Mobile) trinity, India is at the forefront of global digital transformation. “Digital India” is being hailed as the world's largest technology led programme of its kind. While internet, smartphones and modern information and communication devices have been great force multipliers, endless connectivity and proliferation of IoT devices is giving rise to vulnerabilities, risks and concerns. Cyber security is today ranked among top threats by governments and corporates. Heightened concerns about data security and privacy have resulted in a spate of regulations in India and across the world. India is in the process of discussing and enacting its own comprehensive data security and privacy regulation, as well as vertical specific ones. Cyber security is an ecosystem where laws, organisations, skills, cooperation and technical implementation would need to be in harmony to be effective. Overall, a robust regulatory framework based on global and country-specific regulations, development of a holistic cyber security eco-system (academia and industry as well as entrepreneurial) and a coordinated global approach through proactive cyber diplomacy would help to secure cyber space and promote confidence and trust of key stakeholders including citizens, businesses, political and security leaders. CII has been actively working in the cyber security space. The CII Task Force on Public Private Partnership for Security of the Cyber Space has been set up to bring about improvements in the legal framework to strengthen and maintain a safe cyberspace ecosystem by capacity building through education and training programmes. We would facilitate collaboration and cooperation between Government and Industry in the area of cyber security in general and protection of critical information infrastructure in particular, covering cyber threats, vulnerabilities, breaches, potential protective measures, and adoption of best practices.

The document discusses 5 of the most costly network security threats faced by enterprises: 1) botnets, 2) phishing, 3) malware, 4) distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, and 5) increasingly sophisticated attacks. It recommends implementing key layers of control through network perimeter protections, cloud-based security services, mobile device security, and partnering with a managed security provider to help prevent threats and do more with less.

The document provides a cybersecurity impact assessment of the COVID-19 outbreak. It finds that while the work from home shift has changed the attack surface, there is no clear evidence of a significant outbreak of cyber attacks. However, cybercriminals are exploiting COVID-19 in social engineering and phishing attacks. VPN and RDP usage has increased to enable remote work but these protocols have ongoing security issues. The document recommends adopting a zero trust approach and improving security awareness as a long term strategy.

The unfortunate reality is that because of the critical nature of the technology and the services that it provides, the grid becomes a prime target for acts of terrorism and cyberattacks. In January 2008, a CIA analyst reported that hackers had attacked foreign utilities, turning out the lights in several foreign cities. Even if the motivation behind a targeted attack on the energy infrastructure is not terror or disruption, the evolving threat landscape dictates that the potential financial gains of such action can be alluring to the cybercriminal network.

Email fraud, also known as business email compromise (BEC), is one of today's greatest cyber threats. These highly targeted attacks, sent in low volumes, target people rather than technologies. As a result, they are difficult for traditional security solutions to detect. To better understand how email fraud is affecting companies like yours, Proofpoint commissioned a survey of more than 2,250 IT decision makers across the U.S., the U.K., Australia, France, and Germany. This infographic highlights our findings.
