Security News > 2021 > December > How will the cybersecurity industry evolve in 2022?

This past year highlighted vulnerabilities and attack vectors that will drive trends and shape global expectations for security in 2022.

The notoriously stoic cybersecurity culture is changing; in 2022, we'll see more organizations adapting to this shift, changing traditional titles such as "Security Manager" to "Security Culture Manager" to align with the arguably overdue need to recognize that the culture a security team brings to the overall business is equally as important to the protections brought to the business.

While security protections were in place to protect the 2020 election, publicized conversations surrounding the uncertainty of its security will facilitate heightened awareness around every aspect of voting next year.

These expectations have propelled cybersecurity to the forefront of business operations and prompted an overall shift in security culture.

While there's no true way to definitively predict the trends that will shape the industry in the year ahead, the events of the past year highlight the undeniable fact that security is now a critical function of business and everyday life.

Whether it be midterm election security, cryptocurrency trading regulations, or changes in culture, the industry is rapidly pushing towards the future and it's on us to keep up.
