In 2022, we saw that cybercriminals targeted critical infrastructure in the region, including information technology, financial services, healthcare, and energy sectors globally, with headline-grabbing incidents. The core cybercrime methods have not changed, but the sophistication of them has increased. Hence, it is more crucial than ever to focus on adapting defenses against modern cybercrime and the time for Zero Trust Security approach is now!”, commented Avinash Advani, the Founder & CEO at CyberKnight.
