Cybersecurity predictions and best practices in 2022

We continued to see more ransomware attacks on organizations around the world, wreaking havoc on their security networks. Technology, food production and critical infrastructure companies were hit with nearly $320 million worth of ransomware attacks in 2021, including the largest publicly known demand to date. The bad actors behind the attacks are making millions as companies struggle to recover from a breach. As we enter 2022, it’s safe to expect that a curbing of this trend is unlikely to occur. So, if it’s not a question of “will a ransomware attack occur”, it begs the question of “how does your organization prepare for this eventuality”?

Preparation is crucial, but antivirus software will only take you so far. Once an attacker has infiltrated the network, you need to mitigate the impact. To do this, as part of your overall network security strategy, I highly recommend Micro-segmentation, a proven best practice to reduce the attack surface and ensure a network is not relegated to a linear thread, safeguarding against large-scale disruptions. Staff also need to know what to do when the network is under attack. They need to study up, understand the company playbook and take immediate action. It is also important to consider the form and frequency of back-ups and ensure they are offline and inaccessible to hackers. This is an issue that should be addressed in the 2022 security budgets.
