The global cost of a data breach last year was £3.5 million. This is an increase of 15% over three years. As we step into 2024, it’s crucial to be aware of emerging technology threats. Ones that could potentially disrupt and harm your business.
Data poisoning involves corrupting datasets used to train AI models. Businesses should use AI-generated data cautiously. It should be heavily augmented by human intelligence and data from other sources.
The widespread adoption of 5G technology introduces new attack surfaces. IoT devices, reliant on 5G, might become targets for cyberattacks.
Quantum computing poses a threat. Its immense processing capabilities could crack currently secure encryption methods.
AI, while transformative, can be manipulated. Cybercriminals can exploit AI algorithms to spread misinformation. Vigilance is essential as AI-driven threats become more sophisticated. It demands robust detection mechanisms to discern genuine from malicious AI-generated content.
Ransomware attacks have evolved beyond simple data encryption. Threat actors now steal sensitive data before encrypting files.
Biometric authentication methods, such as fingerprints or facial recognition, are becoming commonplace. However, users can’t change biometric data once compromised. Protect biometric data through secure encryption.
