How might this renewed focus on security start to play out in 2022? Ping Identity CEO and founder Andre Durand offers his take with nine cybersecurity predictions for the new year.

With greater investments in security needed to protect society, cybersecurity will become the fourth responsibility of ESG for corporations, according to Durand.

"We must have appropriate digital identity safeguards in place, or we will have online chaos and fraud running rampant, greatly inhibiting our economic prosperity. Governments need to emphasize and elevate digital security laws and enforcement to the same degree as physical laws and safety are handled today."

As only one of several steps required to improve security, MFA needs to start with key sectors such as government, healthcare, utilities, banking, and education.

Amid security changes, user experience must still be considered and prioritized.

"The office of the CISO helps to educate and keep employees fluent and aware of security risks to the business and to themselves. Having the CISO at the right level inside of the company can ensure high and critical security risks are being addressed in a timely manner."
