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.

helping to protect against cyber threats. By sharing valuable insights through

2024, it is important to recognise and plan for advancing threats to help
increase organisational resilience.

 

"We hope that our report is useful in helping raise awareness of the critical
importance of having robust cybersecurity defences in place."
