And for 2024, several trends are shaping the landscape, demanding heightened attention from organizations. Let us explore some insights on pentest and other crucial trends for this year.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ember55\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>1. &#8220;Harvest Now, Decrypt Later&#8221;<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"ember56\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Advances in quantum computing are raising new concerns. &#8220;Harvest now, decrypt later&#8221; attacks are becoming a reality, where hackers steal data today with the expectation of decrypting it in the future using quantum computers. IBM and NIST are already developing &#8220;quantum-safe&#8221; encryption standards. It is crucial that organizations begin preparing for this transition now.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ember57\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>2. Generative Artificial Intelligence as a Tool for Attack and Defense<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"ember58\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Generative Artificial Intelligence is a double-edged sword. In 2023, we saw its potential both to strengthen cybersecurity and to facilitate attacks. AI can automate threat detection, but it can also create sophisticated malware and phishing attacks. For 2024, it is vital that organizations balance the use of AI for defense while protecting themselves against its possible malicious uses.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ember59\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>3. New Regulations and Compliance Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"ember60\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">With growing global concern over cybersecurity, new regulations are emerging. Brazil&#8217;s National Cybersecurity Policy and other international regulations require organizations to adapt to new security standards. Compliance will be a key factor, and proactive preparation can prevent penalties and strengthen stakeholder confidence.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ember61\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>4. Global Events and the Wave of Disinformation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"ember62\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">With significant events such as the Olympics and major elections, 2024 will be a year ripe for the spread of disinformation and phishing attacks. Employee education and training will be fundamental to mitigating these risks.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ember63\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>5. Supply Chain Attacks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"ember64\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Supply chain attacks will continue to grow. These attacks exploit the interconnectivity of systems, making not only suppliers but also their customers vulnerable. Measures such as periodic testing, rigorous security policies, and continuous monitoring are essential to reducing these risks.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ember65\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>The Importance of Pentest<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"ember66\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Pentest (penetration testing) is a vital tool for identifying and remediating vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by cybercriminals. Given the emerging trends, performing pentests regularly helps organizations stay secure and compliant with new regulations.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"ember67\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"ember68\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">ACTAR is here to help your organization navigate these complex cybersecurity landscapes.
