The need for bigger cyber budgets and having the right people in place is critical

Dipesh Kaura, General Manager, Kaspersky (South Asia)

“Cybersecurity incidents were plentiful in 2022, causing many problems for industrial infrastructure owners and operators. In 2023, we will witness the formation of a more diverse behaviour-tracking market due to local law enforcement.
Ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure will become more likely - under the auspices of hostile countries or in countries unable to respond effectively to attacks.

We face a growing risk of politically motivated insiders and insiders working with criminals (primarily ransomware) and APT groups – both at enterprises and among technology developers and vendors.

There has been a large-scale shift to working from home around the world. It has led to a convergence between personal and work device usage, raising online privacy and security issues. The most crucial aspect of online privacy is ensuring that your data does not fall into the wrong hands.

We expect cyber threats to rise in 2023 as unrest in the world contributes to increased cybercrimes. IT teams should be prepared to deal with evolving threats posed by emerging technologies becoming widespread, such as geo-targeted phishing or attacks related to Cloud Security, IoT and AI. Employees should be educated and equipped to fight these mature attacks. End-users can prepare themselves with an easy-to-use security solution for upcoming challenges, whether phishing attacks or threats related to multiple layers of security.”
