An evolving landscape of threats The world is seeing an evolving landscape of threats and opportunities to tackle them , according to DXC Technology , and 2023 will be another busy year for the global cybersecurity industry .
“ If someone were to tell you that duelling AI bots , rogue avatars and digital warfare would be a staple of 2023 , you might not want to leave the house ,” says Mark Hughes , President of Security at DXC . “ But then cybercriminals are also expected to target critical infrastructure that could see your lights go out at any moment , so the cyber threat could reach you there , too .”
But the fact is that the rate of cyberattacks is increasing , says Hughes .“ There are currently over two million of them per year with an estimated economic cost of US $ 10.5 tn worldwide by 2025 – up from US $ 3tn in 2015 and growing 15 % per year .”
