What’s Next in Cybersecurity?
Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Cognixia podcast. We are back with another interesting episode today. Every week, we get together to discuss a new topic from the world of emerging digital technologies – from new developments to hands-on guides, from things you should know to what you can do to embrace new tools and best practices, and so much more.
Did you know that in 2022, the world spent over $150 billion worldwide to stop or fight hackers, without seeing all that much success? The Russian government continues its cyberattacks against Ukraine, ransomware attacks are at an all-time high, especially against hospitals and schools, or even entire governments, crypto hacks continue, and they are getting increasingly expensive, the hackers are getting younger and the hacked are becoming increasingly high-profile.
So, what can we expect in the world of cybersecurity in the coming time?
Remember the cyberattack on ViaSat in Ukraine last year? ViaSat is a US satellite communications company, whose services were being used by civilians as well as troops in Ukraine. The cyberattack on ViaSat caused a major communications breakdown at the start of the Russia-Ukraine war. Since then, there have been countless cyberattacks involving a variety of wiper malware, malicious computer code, and much more. This does account for and in a way contributes to cyber warfare. Cases of cyberespionage are also on the rise and will continue to be so.
While we are on this topic, did you know the difference between cyber warfare and cyber espionage? Let us tell you that.
The biggest difference between cyber warfare and cyber espionage lies in their primary goal. The primary goal of cyber warfare is to disrupt the activities of a country or state or territory. In contrast, the primary goal of cyber espionage is for the attacker to remain hidden for as long as possible and gather maximum possible intelligence. While the former is all about disruption and an outright attack, the latter is more about stealing information and valuable secrets.
