In 2024, one of the more subtle yet critical challenges that emerged was the rise of malinformation - deliberate misinformation aimed at manipulating and destabilising. Battling misinformation and reputational threats is becoming a top-line issue for all. By 2028, organisations will spend over $500 billion annually addressing malinformation, with impacts felt across marketing and cyber security budgets alike.
The scope of cyber security is not just tech-savvy but also human-centric. Organisations need a shift in mindset: prioritising secure human behaviours, leveraging technologies like GenAI, and addressing business risks as much as external threats.
CISOs need to also consider the following trends for their security strategies for the near future. Deepfake fraud, social engineering, and AI-driven scams are driving the need for enterprise-wide programmes led by CISOs. Companies must prioritise investments in resilience measures such as chaos engineering to prepare for these challenges.
Zero-trust has become a cyber security cornerstone, but its application has limits. By 2026, 75% of organisations will exclude legacy systems and operational environments from zero-trust strategies due to their unique constraints.
