The everlasting battle between protectors and attackers will never seize to exist. What results from such dynamic is either material and non-material losses or, in the better scenario, an innovation. Innovative solutions in the cybersecurity landscape happen almost by the hour. Here are 10 of the most trending cybersecurity topics, and a brief definition of what they are, and why the industry cares so much about them now.
Cybersecurity trends in 2022
1. Securing the remote workforce
With COVID-19 forcing the vast majority of businesses to adapt their operating models, new threats and vulnerabilities manifested themselves, and faced no resistance in the process. Technology providers like SonicWall and Barracuda offer dedicated solutions to secure those who need to operate remotely wherever they are. The solutions cover a wide spectrum of needs from simple file sharing to remotely accessing the organization's most valuable digital assets.

The widest occurring prey-cases happen to professionals using the same mobile device for both their business and personal communication. This poses as a challenge for security teams, since the user is by far the weakest link between the security provider and exploiter. Securing a device from within the organization is doable to a far extent, but what could be done when the user decides to download a shady application or browse a non-secured webpage? Only highly focused and agile solutions like XDR with high reliance on machine learning and artificial intelligence are able to keep up with the unaware user. Which brings us to the second trend of 2022, security awareness.
