Cybersecurity Predictions for 2023: My Reflections

Jane Frankland

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.

Securing the Supply Chain During Shipping Challenges

CyberSecurity Insiders

Implement Zero-Trust Architecture. Verifying machine identities before enabling access can help secure Internet of Things (IoT) networks, which would otherwise expand supply chains’ attack surfaces. Distracted workers are particularly vulnerable to social engineering attacks, but thorough training can mitigate these risks.

A Reactive Cybersecurity Strategy Is No Strategy at All

CyberSecurity Insiders

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.
