I don’t think the problem is “we” securing things (we being cybersecurity professionals). I think the problem is companies seeing that it’s cheaper to take the PR hit, pay the ransom, pay for cybersecurity insurance, etc than it is to pay for a properly secured network.
Cybersecurity is hard (citation needed) and costs a lot of money (citation needed). If a company figures it’s cheaper to have a breach and deal with the fallout than it is to properly secure shit I can promise you what will happen.
I bet 2024 will have more. More stuff is online and we don’t seem to be getting any better at securing it.
