Cybercriminals have always been quick to exploit evolving technologies, and as cybercrime evolves, so should your security strategy. So, what trends should you watch over the next five years, and where can you find expert help?

Zero Trust matters

Respondents to a urgent action is required to address this growing cyber inequity between organisations. While approximately half of executives say that advances in adversarial capabilities (phishing, malware, deepfakes) present the most concerning impact of generative AI on cyber.

A growing awareness and fear of cyberattacks will drive a continuing trend towards a “zero-trust” approach to security. Simply put, Zero Trust moves security principles from a ”.

Part of implementing a Zero Trust approach is to Typically, it’s a vulnerable part of securing data, not least because the people operating them are easily manipulated by malicious actors.

Zero Trust means checking that a device is what it says it is, watching out for insecure networks, introducing two and three factor authentications to ensure that someone is who they say they are and has a legitimate reason to be there.

For organisations looking to bolster their Zero Trust approach, there are a number of tools available. allows organisations to gain control of their endpoints for the hybrid workforce with an integrated security approach. For example, this suite of products includes the HP Wolf Protect and Trace Service, which protects data and tracks your fleet of HP devices to prevent unauthorised users from accessing files and documents on your network.

Artificial Intelligence – threats and solutions

As Artificial Intelligence reaches a tipping point, criminals will inevitably use it to deliver ransomware and develop smarter phishing attacks. Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT empower hackers to write swathes of malicious code in seconds. Plus, AI voice generators are becoming more intelligent and can pass for human beings so that they could pose as your IT security provider. Image and audio generators can create deep fakes.

However, AI is also a game-changer for the cybersecurity industry, and products to tackle cybercriminals are becoming smarter every day. AI can review and analyse vast quantities of data and identify potential threats with a higher degree of accuracy. For example, spotting suspicious emails and messages deployed in phishing scams.

It’s impossible to completely eradicate threats, but they can be contained. HP’s TechPulse is a cloud-based system that measures the health data points from mill0ns of remote endpoints and aggregates them into a single, cloud-based platform. Once the system has collected the data, it delivers AI-driven insights that inform better decision-making.

strengthens security at your computer’s most vulnerable points by isolating specific applications. So, rather than trying to recognise specific malware, it opens files in isolated virtual containers called micro-virtual machines. Where there is malicious code, these micro-VMs trick the malware into a virtual machine and so it is unable to affect your OC, access your files or even access browser tabs.

Cybersecurity skills remain a top priority

In-house skills are in huge demand to combat the cybercrime arms race. Yet, there is a global shortage of people with the right expertise. More than half of business and cybersecurity leaders report they do not have enough people and skills,

Against this backdrop, organisations need trusted managed services partnerships and IT security systems. HP offers endpoint security solutions that safeguard people, devices, and data. One example is HP , where files, applications and webpages open inside micro virtual machines. Even if a file contains malware, it’s trapped, and endpoints and user data stay protected. So, there are multiple layers of protection and someone to manage them.

Cloud computing and anywhere working

Cultural post-pandemic shifts and cloud computing means everyone increasingly works in hybrid patterns – or works ‘anywhere’ – a trend that is set to stay. But it can also create a cybersecurity nightmare, as people access information on remote hotspots, insecure networks and from their own devices.

revealed that 85% of security leaders have already changed their cybersecurity strategy to accommodate hybrid employees. HP Endpoint Security Solutions safeguard people, devices, and data wherever they are. Services include Sure Click Enterprise, which protects against ransomware.

Cybercriminals are quick to embrace the latest technology as tools of their trade. Fortunately, HP’s security products can help ensure your organisations’ data is safe today – and for years to come.
