Stay Alert: These Cybersecurity Trends Are
on the Rise
Beware of methods like pretexting, ransomware, and stolen devices threatening your business
security this year.
By Brandon Agostinelli, Managing Security Consultant at FoxPointe Solutions
Every year brings with it a new normal when it comes to cybersecurity concerns. Just a few months into
2024, we have already seen new and enduring threats arise that are changing the cyber landscape, and
it’s a good time to critically assess these new risks, prepare effective solutions, and plan ahead based
on what the rest of the year may bring.
Furthermore, industries that deal with sensitive and legally protected data, like education, healthcare,
finance, and more, face even greater threats that will require more focused attention this year as
technology advances and cyber criminals become more sophisticated.
