In The New Normal in Cybersecurity Part 1, we examined three leading trends in the cybersecurity community over the past year. In this installment, we will take a look into the future and make predictions about where the cybersecurity landscape is potentially headed in 2022 and beyond.
The past year has shown organizations that uncertainty and a transformed reality are the new normal in business. While remote work was intended as a temporary response to the global pandemic, it is now considered a regular part of the business environment—fundamentally altering the way companies operate. This means organizations have had to respond in real-time to shift their cybersecurity strategies and keep up with an expanding IT infrastructure, the explosion of IoT devices, and a new wave of threats from more sophisticated attackers.
The Log4Shell vulnerability, a serious remote code execution vulnerability in the Apache Log4j2 library, is one of the best candidates for winning several Pwnie awards in 2022.
The MITRE ATT&CK Framework was created in 2013 to create a comprehensive document of tactics, techniques, and procedures that cyber attackers were regularly using to breach the defenses of individuals and organizations. Since then, it has grown to be a global knowledge base that has helped to standardize defensive security and remains accessible to all security professionals.

It’s a well-known fact that TV shows and movies pride themselves on their complete and total accuracy when it comes to portraying historical events, illnesses, or jobs. That’s how we know that everyone in olden times spoke in British accents no matter what country they were in, people with tuberculosis casually cough up blood while otherwise carrying on as normal, and all doctors wander about in form fitting scrubs with only one patient to treat—right?
