What are the 2022 trends?
Last year saw many disruptions in the world of cybersecurity, even as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to recede.

- Because of these remote workforces, cloud breaches will increase.
- The cyber security skill gaps will remain an issue as more jobs go unfilled.
- IoT devices will become more vulnerable to cyberattacks as 5G increases bandwidth to connected devices.
