In our last episode of the year, we replay our predictions for 2023 reviewing what we got right and what we didn’t. We cover various topics, such as Twitter’s influence, the future of Mastodon, the ban of TikTok in certain states, and the rising issue of ransomware. In addition, we give credit to Scott for accurately predicting multiple cybersecurity events during the year! We also share our expectations for 2024 — predicting increased AI adoption, many more cybersecurity layoffs, more consolidation in InfoSec, and implementation of flawed legislation targeting symptoms instead of causes.
