Nation-state hacking reduced the use of complex malware and appears to go towards low profile social engineering attacks. Another element of concern is the diffusion of IoT devices that are poorly protected. “The need for generic IoT protection architectures/good practices will remain pressing.”

Not long ago, it was revealed that T-Mobile had been breached by bad actors who convinced employees to switch their SIM cards to let them bypass two-factor identification — reminding us how effective social engineering can still be. Once this communication is blocked, the malicious software essentially becomes inert.

Limited tests can focus on narrower targets such as networks, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, physical security, cloud security, web applications, or other system components. Known as black , white , and gray box pentests, these differ in how much information is provided to the pentester before running the simulated attacks.

Cyberattacks and data breaches will continue to arise because of credential theft, social engineering (phishing, smishing, vishing etc), vulnerabilities in third party software and supply chain processes, forged or stolen machine identities, and misconfigured cloud computing. Here are my predictions for 2023. Types of attacks.
