Top 5 Cyber Predictions for 2024: A CISO Perspective

Zscaler ThreatLabz provides a five-point 2024 threat forecast: generative AI will scale and sophisticate reconnaissance, exploitation, and phishing; Ransomware-as-a-Service and initial access brokers will expand, including encryption-less tactics; Man‑in‑the‑Middle attacks will rise without zero‑trust controls; supply‑chain attacks will increasingly target generative AI ecosystems and development pipelines; and attackers will adapt tactics to evade SEC breach‑disclosure requirements — the post recommends zero trust, AI‑based defenses, TLS/SSL inspection, FIDO2 MFA, and stronger supply‑chain and vendor security.
