Cyber attacks will be more refined in 2023

The last two years have seen a surge in cybersecurity attacks globally, catapulting cybersecurity issues to the forefront of the agendas of companies and governments. The 2023 threat landscape, unfortunately, does not look like things will get any easier for techies working in cybersecurity. But companies and governments do have far more hi-tech tools at their disposal now to deal with threats.

Vijendra Katiyar, country manager for India & Saarc at Trend Micro, says the severe attacks on India’s critical infrastructure, such as the recent ransomware attacks on AIIMS and the Tata Power, teach us one thing: cybercriminals will spend 2023 continuously fine-tuning their methods and becoming more professional. “Better-armed security teams, and legislators clamping down on crime, will finally push beleaguered ransomware actors into regrouping and refining their playbooks,” he says.
