Weathering 2024: Storm Watch Predictions for the Year Ahead | Grey Noise Blog
Summary: GreyNoise's Storm Watch hosts predict 2024 will bring a continuation of 2023's trends - ongoing kinetic and cyber wars, disruptive ransomware, legal scrutiny of the CISO role, and mainstream AI adoption - with an exponential increase in AI use on both attack and defense sides. Specific forecasts include back-office and B2B software as popular targets due to improper internet exposure, nation-state espionage and disinformation aimed at the 2024 U.S. presidential election, and at least three-to-five punishing breaches at well-recognized organizations, one hitting a major financial services firm.
Why it matters: The hosts expect tighter cyber insurance policies to raise the stakes on ransomware that they say will continue unabated, and they forecast a breach at a major financial services firm causing major market distress for days - a scenario that lands on the CISO's desk, not the attacker's.
