Prospects for cybersecurity in 2022.

Significance

The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified multiple cybersecurity issues that are likely to be salient in 2022 and beyond. Organisations face increased pressure to provide security for remote workers, prevent phishing and ransomware attacks, and deploy new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) systems safely. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions in cyberspace have also intensified, particularly since the damaging cyberattacks against prominent US targets by Russian and Chinese state actors and criminal hackers.
