The main problem is associated with a wider attack surface formed due to distributed and disparate infrastructures. This is an inevitable attribute of the remote work mode. This includes, in particular, the big issue of protecting "home offices."
Behavioral analysis
In this regard, I believe we should expect the development of behavioral analysis technologies. If earlier it was possible to make sure that it is exactly John Doe who came to the office and started to work, then, after the transition to distant work, an attacker who stole credentials could well act using the external connection and simulate the work of John Doe. An analysis of users’ behavior patterns will help to identify such incidents.
However, there are other approaches. It is possible to strengthen access rules and improve the authentication of remote users. The popularity of multi-factor authentication and one-time passwords can be expected to grow. Microsoft, for example, predicts a rapid global transition to the passwordless paradigm.
Data breaches
Another important topic that needs to be talked about is data breaches. We can say that the entire 2020 has been marked by the sign of data leaks and breaches. Most organizations had to urgently switch to the remote work mode. Hastily adjusted mechanisms for working from home created security gaps that attackers willingly exploited.
Phishing and social engineering
Another popular topic resonates with the one above. I expect the growth of psychological attacks like phishing and social engineering. The more data ends up in the hands of cybercriminals (as a result of data breaches), the more efficiently the crooks are able to create new convincing email messages and phishing websites. If victims are addressed by the first and last name and hackers know the place of work, address, phone number, and other info, then there is a big risk of assuming the attacker is a real partner or vendor.
Espionage
As usual, we may expect the growth of state-sponsored attacks and industrial espionage. They do not happen too often, but they also deserve to be noted. After all, if leaks of even relatively unimportant and ordinary data grow (which cannot be monetized), then attacks on really valuable information can be expected to grow with acceleration.
Machine learning and artificial intelligence
Machine learning and artificial intelligence are attractive to attackers and, at the same time important to information defenders. For the security industry, AI and ML are closely related to information security automation. There are more and more attacks. At the same time, there are not enough security professionals, and therefore, more tools and robots are needed. Machines will do the routine work, and live analysts will deal only with the most important tasks.
Financial crimes
The growth in the number of financial crimes is seen in the development of ransomware. Indeed, this type of malware does not give up its position as more and more high-profile victims and serious incidents appear. Such activity is unlikely to decline in the coming year.
Security as a service
The next big topic is security as a service and, in particular, the growth of the MSSP (Managed Security Service Providers) sector. Security experts believe that this is facilitated by the quarantine's consequences that blur the perimeters and reduce incomes. Companies need more experts, who cannot always be found inside. Businesses also require affordable prices that MSSP may offer and which look advantageous against on-premises solutions.
