The rapid proliferation of new attack surfaces means more opportunities for threat actors than ever before, and this will only continue as new technologies are introduced, according to Vulcan Cyber’s Cyber Risk in 2022: A 360° View report.
The report, developed by the Vulcan Cyber in-house research team, Voyager18, highlights the biggest developments and underlying narratives to cyber risk in 2022 and suggests ways to improve and maintain security posture as we enter 2023.

With the avenues of attack growing in number, IT security teams cannot rely on outdated methods to stay secure.
The report explores a number of ways organizations can meet the increased demands of the cyber risk landscape, including:
