The 8 Cybercrime Trends to Watch Out For in 2024

AI changed everything last year. Now, in 2024, the real battle begins: Who will harness the power of new technologies and the psychology of human behavior more effectively – us or the cybercriminals?  

 In our talk, we’ll break down the top cybercrime trends to watch in 2024 so you can stay ahead of the curve with your security team and protect your organization from attacks. We’ll explore the ever-increasing involvement of AI in cyberattacks, which is changing the game for everyone involved. We’ll look at the double-edged sword of emerging technologies like 5G and quantum computing. As AI, they’re opening up new possibilities for us, but also for hackers.  

 We’ll also talk about the rise of hacktivism and the role of cyberattacks in global political tensions, the evolution of phishing attacks into more complex, multi-channel threats, the increasing use of disinformation campaigns to sway public opinion, and the worrying burnout rates among security teams. But we won’t just highlight the issues, we’ll also provide you with security best practices to help you improve your security approach in a year that will also change the history of cyber security.
