4 Global Cybersecurity Threats for 2019

In the year ahead, organizations of all sizes must prepare for the unknown, so they have the flexibility to withstand unexpected, high-impact cybersecurity events. To take advantage of emerging trends in both technology and cyberspace, businesses need to manage risks in ways beyond those traditionally handled by the information security function, since new attacks will impact both shareholder value and business reputation.

After reviewing the current threat landscape, there are four dominant security threats that we at the Information Security Forum believe businesses need to prepare for in 2019. These include, but are not limited to:

• The Increased Sophistication of Cybercrime and Ransomware
• The Impact of Legislation
• Smart Devices Challenge Data Integrity
• The Myth of Supply Chain Assurance
