What to Expect in Cybersecurity Trends for the Next 3-5 Years

The world of cybersecurity is constantly evolving, and it's becoming increasingly important for companies to stay ahead of the curve. With the rise of mobile platforms, remote work, and the collection of more customer data than ever before, the demand for easy access to data has never been higher. However, this also means that there's a higher risk of breaches, and with the use of advanced technologies like AI, automation, and machine learning, hackers are becoming smarter and more sophisticated in their attacks. On top of that, organizations are facing more regulations and resource challenges, making it difficult to keep up with the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape. Here are some of the key cybersecurity trends to keep an eye on in the next 3-5 years:

  • More demand for easy access to data: As we rely more on mobile platforms and remote work, we need quick and easy access to large amounts of data. But this also means there's a higher risk of breaches. With organizations collecting more customer data than ever, we need better technology to store, manage, and protect that data.

  • Hackers getting smarter with AI and other tech: Gone are the days of the lone hacker in a hoodie. Nowadays, hacking has turned into a big business with fancy tools like AI, automation, and machine learning. These technologies are making attacks more sophisticated and faster, reducing the time it takes to pull off an attack from weeks to just days or even hours. Even old tricks like ransomware and phishing are becoming easier and more common.

  • Dealing with more regulations and resource challenges: Organizations are facing more and more regulations when it comes to cybersecurity. But the problem is, many of them don't have enough know-how or talent in this area. It's getting harder to keep up with the ever-changing regulatory landscape and the increasing demands for cybersecurity expertise.


These are the projected cybersecurity trends for the next few years, and it's clear that organizations need to stay on their toes and keep evolving their cybersecurity approach to tackle these challenges effectively. And that's where we come in to help. Companies in four continents and over 20 countries are taking proactive steps to enhance their security posture with 12iD's technology. Implementing a secure single sign-on (SSO) allows customers and employees to securely access multiple applications and systems with just one set of credentials, reducing the risk of weak or reused passwords. By incorporating our zero-knowledge protocols, our architecture allows for authentication without revealing any sensitive information, and the security of the authentication process is further strengthened. This can help protect against potential data breaches and unauthorized access while simplifying the user experience.
