Cybersecurity Experts Predict 2023: Focus on Culture, Metaverse Threats

Cybersecurity experts have outlined their top predictions for 2023, highlighting a significant shift in focus towards fostering a strong security culture within organisations. KnowBe4, a leading security awareness training provider, has revealed these insights.

The report underscores the emergence of new threats in the Metaverse, expanding the attack surface. Additionally, deepfake attacks are expected to become more convincing and damaging, posing a significant risk.

Experts anticipate a rise in catastrophic attacks on critical infrastructure. This follows a trend of increasing threats to such facilities in recent years. Social engineering, a common tactic used at the social security office, will continue to dominate as a successful method for cybercriminals, with social media scams creating a new battleground.

The top five predicted trends for 2023 include a shift towards building a security culture, an increase in social media scams, a rise in attacks on critical infrastructure, and the growing threat of deepfakes and Metaverse-related attacks. Organisations are urged to stay vigilant and adapt their security strategies to address these emerging challenges.
