The report outlines four cybersecurity trends for 2023: (1) recruiting and retaining cybersecurity talent amid burnout and competition from tech firms; (2) increased focus on preparing for nation-state cyberattacks, incident response, and reducing vulnerability blast radius; (3) adoption of software and IoT labeling driven by Executive Order 14028 and NIST guidance to improve supply-chain transparency and support timelines; and (4) planning for post-quantum risks to encrypted data. It recommends prioritising posture, detection, and faster response to reduce analyst burden and stop attacks before breaches occur.
