Cyber Defense eMagazine February Edition for 2023

Security decisions will be affected by tightening regulations.
This year will bring increasing pressure from federal regulations on critical industries such as utilities,
financial services, and healthcare. While standard regulations are forecasted to retain some flexibility, as
they cannot be "one size fits all," companies will need to adapt and respond quickly without the added
burden of unnecessary oversight.
Boards are also now seeing cybersecurity as a business risk rather than a mere IT problem. This means
that more leaders will be required to respond to the maturity of their plans and strategies. This will result
in security having a much larger impact on C-level executives’ performance reviews. Since security risks
have a direct impact on businesses’ bottom line, employment contracts may also include some of these
requirements.
The need to evolve faster than the threats.
Business leaders will need to evolve their strategies and mindsets at a faster pace than their attackers –
integrating out-of-the-box solutions to mitigate ongoing risks at bay. Companies falling behind will leave
themselves as a more vulnerable target for malicious actors and lose a competitive edge within their
industry.
