A New Year Message
Risk X Group
Risk X Group is a proudly SA business consisting of Risk X, Secure X and DAWN
Dear All,
What a year 2023 has been!
?
While many will remember this year for the Springbok's stunning triumph at the Rugby World Cup in France and the end of COVID-19 travel restrictions, 2023 has also brought with it a spiralling cost of living, climate change and the horror of armed conflict in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. ?For all the good in the world, we have a long way yet to go as a species before we can pat ourselves on the back!
?
From a cybersecurity perspective, 2023 has brought us some spectacular data breaches against a background of another year of ongoing cryptocurrency thefts and ransomware attacks. Artificial intelligence is now in the hands of the ordinary Internet user, creating new attack vectors as well as opportunities for interdiction. Cybersecurity professionals have never been in more demand, nor have the challenges facing them been greater.
?
We expect this trend to continue into 2024 with increasingly sophisticated threats from generative AI and attacks on IoT and OT systems and networks. C-level executives will come under increasing pressure to report on and ensure the sustainability of their organisations to stakeholders and will be demanding greater insight into information security risks.
?
In responding to these challenges, Risk X will be focused on AI-driven predictive threat intelligence, continuous monitoring and real-time automated incident response. The demand for accreditation to standards such as ISO27001:2022, PCI-DSS and SOC 2 reporting and compliance with best practice frameworks will continue to grow.?????????????????????
