TAMPA BAY, Fla.: KnowBe4, the provider of the world’s largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, announced its 2024 cybersecurity predictions from its team of global industry experts.

Cyber threats are more sophisticated and complex than ever and evolving quickly with new technology like AI becoming increasingly advanced every day. Cultivating a solid security culture is paramount to strengthen an organization’s human firewall.

The top five predicted cybersecurity trends for 2024 include:

“Cyber attacks like phishing are getting more difficult to detect,” said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. “It is imperative that employees keep the threat of phishing attacks top of mind and not become complacent. This is only made possible by recurrent security awareness training and simulated phishing so that end users have the knowledge to identify phishing attacks, report them and better protect their organizations. It comes down to building a strong security culture and we will see organizations continue to focus and build on this in 2024.”
