Cologne, Germany, 27 November, 2023. TÜV Rheinland’s Cybersecurity Trends 2024 reveal how companies can protect themselves from cyberattacks in an increasingly digital and connected world. The attack surface has expanded significantly, especially for small and medium-sized businesses, which often underestimate their vulnerability. But even large companies with high security standards are not immune to the advanced techniques of professional hacking organizations.

Top risks: Phishing, Faster Ransomware Attacks, AI Deployment

Top risks such as phishing and faster ransomware attacks continue to dominate the threat landscape, according to TÜV Rheinland experts. The growing number of connected devices exacerbates the threat of ever-increasing vulnerabilities. The use of AI takes the ability to exploit these vulnerabilities to a new level. New technologies are making cyberattacks more effective, while geopolitical crises are creating an environment of heightened risk. “The alarming increase in cyberattacks in recent years has made it clear that companies and institutions of all sizes should consider cybersecurity as a strategic priority,” says Petr Láhner, Business Executive Vice President Industrial Services & Cybersecurity at TÜV Rheinland.
