2304: WatchGuard Cybersecurity Predictions

Corey Nachreiner, CSO at WatchGuard, joins me in a conversation about the latest cybersecurity predictions for 2023 from WatchGuard's Threat Lab research team. Our guest then shares the story behind the batch of predictions for 2023, offering different takes on potential hacks and attacks in various categories.

We discuss two matchups: "Insurers Going Vertical" and "Targeting Vendors and Partners." Then, moving on, we explore the hype around the metaverse and web3 and question whether we could see a Big Metaverse Hack this year too.

One of the standout predictions is the potential surge in MFA-targeted Social Engineering Attacks. Our guest expands on this trend and explains the prediction regarding Hacking AI Robotaxis in a simple and accessible way as if explaining it to a five-year-old. The podcast also explores the prediction regarding Vulnerability Proliferation through AI Coding Tools, discussing how AI tools could empower script kiddies to write malware and write more convincing phishing emails.
