- In Q3 2022, the global number of data breaches increased by
70% compared to the previous quarter. The trend continues, with an
estimated $10.5 trillion in costs caused by cybercrimes by
2025.
- According to DataGuard experts, the biggest Information
Security threats for businesses in 2023 are a lack of funding in
the SME space and cloud breaches from improper configurations, data
sharing, and compromised credentials.
- Increasing cyber-attacks, Bring Your Own Device issues, and
remote working keep being at the top of the list.
- The new EU NIS2 Directive for increased cybersecurity: The
UK Government is currently reviewing its effectiveness, and
businesses should prepare for a UK-modified version.
- ISO 27001 keeps being a key requirement for strong
information security processes.
Compliance Software-as-a-Service company DataGuard has released
its 2023 Trend Report for Information Security, covering the
increase in cybercrime, the importance of ISO 27001 or
Policy-as-Code for long-term business safety and success, and the
introduction of the EU’s new NIS2 Cybersecurity Directive and its
impact on UK businesses.
Author of the report and certified ISO 27001 Lead Auditor and
Information Security Consultant Emrick Etheridge says: "Information
Security is no longer just a technical concern, but a critical
aspect of any successful business. With the increasing reliance on
technology and the rise of cyber threats, protecting sensitive data
has become a fundamental necessity for organisations of all
sizes.”
Information Security is an ever-evolving field with new
vulnerabilities and frameworks arising regularly, and rapid
technological advancements such as virtual reality, AI, and
autonomous driving cover both risks and chances for businesses. The
DataGuard report looks at new technologies and directives to help
organisations build their Information Security roadmap for 2023 and
mitigate risks.
