2022 has seen an increase in the automation of security threats , increasing risks for remote workers and bringing in more nation-state attacks on national infrastructure . With COVID forcing rapid change , cyber security transformation has unfortunately been left behind in many cases and , as technology evolves and businesses adopt new tools , organisations must now mature security strategies to guard themselves against sophisticated threats .
