Smarttech247 (AIM: S247), a multi-award-winning provider of AI-enhanced cybersecurity services providing automated managed detection and response for a portfolio of international clients, is pleased to announce the publication of its cybersecurity report, 'Global Cybersecurity: Perspectives and Trends for 2024' showing a 50% increase in cyber-attacks during 2023.

 

The in-depth report also highlights critical issues in cybersecurity and offers strategic perspectives on emerging threats, industry trends, and the geopolitical dynamics expected to shape the threat landscape throughout 2024. The report also finds that external malicious actors account for 83% of data breaches and financial motives are still the driving force behind over 94% of actual breaches.

 

The report aims to provide practical advice to help businesses protect themselves from emerging cyber threats, such as highlighting the key risks for suppliers and outlining a 10-step plan for Chief Information Security Officers to undertake in the first 90 days of a new role.

 

Smarttech247 invites cybersecurity professionals, business leaders, and all interested parties to access the report on its website: https://resource.smarttech247.com/global-cybersecurity-perspectives-and-trends-for-2024
