2024 Vulnerability Management Predictions Report
The cyber threat landscape is constantly changing, with new vulnerabilities emerging and existing ones becoming more complex. To effectively deal with these challenges, organisations must stay updated on the latest predictions for vulnerability management and implement efficient strategies to mitigate potential risks.
This report provides insights on predicted cyber threats for 2024 and practical strategies for vulnerability management, empowering organisations to safeguard their assets.
Threats predicted in our report
Patch timing & vulnerability exploitation
Patch timing & vulnerability exploitation
The persistent delay between vulnerability discovery and patch deployment allows cybercriminals time to exploit vulnerabilities with precision, posing significant risks to organisations.
Human element in ransomware & phishing attacks
Despite investments in technical defences, employee susceptibility to ransomware and phishing attacks persists due to poor work ethic and operational practices.
Role of AI & machine learning in cyber
AI and ML will be increasingly integrated into cyber security for vulnerability management in the coming year. AI-powered solutions will categorise vulnerabilities more efficiently. However, cybercriminals may exploit AI for phishing attacks.
Neglected assets & the risk they pose to your organisation
Overlooked assets will persist as a major cyber threat for organisations. Cybercriminals exploit unprotected systems due to slow vulnerability fixes and non-adherence to critical policies, increasing vulnerability to ransomware and other threats.
Rise of zero-day exploits
As attackers take advantage of unknown vulnerabilities and employ advanced techniques and tools, the frequency of attacks is expected to increase.
Minimum cyber readiness for cyber insurance eligibility
As the year progresses, companies may require Cyber Essentials Plus certification for cyber insurance eligibility, driven by escalating threats and human error risks.
Expansion of IOT device management
Ensuring the security of connected devices is crucial for organisations due to the prevalent vulnerabilities caused by insecure firmware and unprotected channels.
