In this episode of the Business of Tech, we delve into the world of cybersecurity. Firstly, we discuss Gartner's prediction of a 14.3% boost in security spending by 2024, driven by factors such as the adoption of cloud, hybrid workforce, generative AI, and evolving regulatory environment. We then explore the cautionary message from the FBI on evolving ransomware tactics, including dual attacks within 48 hours. Next, we touch on Patching Metrics 101, which offers new ways to measure cybersecurity health. Lastly, we examine how tech giants and startups are tackling security, with updates on email, MFA, and SBOM. Additionally, we discuss the decrease in ransomware attacks in August, the surge in cyber insurance claims due to ransomware attacks, and the specific targeting of large companies with revenues over $100 million.
