LW ROUNDTABLE: Lessons learned from the headline-grabbing cybersecurity incidents of 2024
- Experts reflect on the cybersecurity incidents of 2024, emphasizing the need for risk management, supply chain visibility, and identity protection.
- Software supply chain attacks targeting commercial software were a major threat in 2024 and require rigorous independent testing and verification.
- Organizations must prioritize risk management beyond reactive patching to manage software sprawl and reduce vulnerabilities, ensuring better supply chain risk management.
- Nation-state APTs and cybercriminals pose an escalating risk, and countermeasures could become far more aggressive if the U.S. treats ransomware as state-sponsored terrorism.
- Organizations must diversify systems to reduce the risk of uniform digital infrastructure and prevent potentially catastrophic consequences.
- API-powered infrastructure faces increasing attacks, and defenders must prioritize full API visibility and evaluate AI integrations for preventing subtle targeted attacks.
- Supply chain breaches highlighted the need for vendor visibility, strong security contracts, and proactive supply chain risk management to mitigate breaches and protect sensitive data.
- Identify-based attacks are prompting insurers to intensify scrutiny, shifting questions from MFA implementation to assessments of least privilege and real-time identity protection.
- Building a strong culture of security and preparedness helps organizations respond quickly and effectively, keeping operations steady when disruptions happen.
- Defensive teams must understand how to integrate AI into the full range of people, process, and technology to stop attackers sooner with more precision and with broad coverage.
