Critical events across the world will continue to affect the global economy in 2023. It will be a year of caution because of the uncertain political climate, erratic supply chains, inflation, and pressing trade concerns. These ambiguous conditions will compel everyone, including cybercriminals, to shelter in place and mainly rely on tried and tested methods. Cybercriminals will still be active and create new schemes, but many will stick to old tools and techniques. Security and protection from these motivated groups should be paramount for enterprises, however, corporate spending on cybersecurity tools will be limited by fiscal concerns.

In terms of the workforce, many office employees have become comfortable with remote work in a post-pandemic world. In fact, hybrid environments have not only become the norm, but the preferred situation for many employees. This environment, as well as new technologies being adopted, presents a unique and expanded attack surface.
