Experts name main targets of cyber-attacks for 2019

Next year, the security of cyberspace will be one of the key issues of investing effort and money. RBC published cybersecurity research and forecast data for the coming year.
 
Global government agencies operating in the field of communications, personal data and energy will be under the threat of hacker invasion. In this connection, several countries have already put forward legislations involving the monetization of personal data held by private entities.
 
In 2019, hackers will target in the first place bank inquiry systems’ servers, on-line storages, and the Internet of “smart” things. So the number of unauthorized information leaks will grow. The reason for such a threat is that the development of cybersecurity fails to keep pace with that of multi-level digital services and data warehouses.
 
Besides, information outflow can be caused by the employees themselves, which gives prerequisites for enhancing the work of security departments of globally significant organizations, Planet Today reports.
