For the fiscal year 2025, the government of the United States proposed nearly 13 billion U.S. dollar budget for cybersecurity, representing an increase from the previous fiscal year. These federal resources for cybersecurity are set to support a broad-based cybersecurity strategy for securing the government and enhancing the security of critical infrastructure and essential technologies.

In 2023, spending in the cybersecurity industry reached around 80 billion U.S. dollars, with forecasts suggesting that the market will eclipse 87 billion U.S. dollars by 2024. Global spending on cybersecurity has been increasing since 2021.

Cybersecurity remains a priority

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations worldwide have sent their employees into the home office for work. This decentralization of an organization’s IT landscape created new vulnerabilities of malicious actors to exploit which is concurred by IT professionals’ observation that there is an increase in cyber attacks following the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, cybersecurity remains a priority among business leaders to ensure operability of the company and data security.

Cybersecurity solutions

Among solutions for cybersecurity are endpoint security, identity access management, data security, and network security. These technologies are leveraged to protect sensitive information and critical systems from attacks. More specifically, these measures are designed to protect threats originating both from inside and outside an organization. This underscores the need to think of cybersecurity as a comprehensive strategy made up of practices and technologies.

Computer networks face vulnerability to numerous attacks, which pose significant threats to our data security and the freedom of communication. This paper introduces a novel intrusion detection technique that diverges from traditional methods by leveraging Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) for both data preprocessing and feature extraction. The proposed process is based on the following steps: (1) training the data using RNNs, (2) extracting features from their hidden layers, and (3) applying various classification algorithms. This methodology offers significant advantages and greatly differs from existing intrusion detection practices. The effectiveness of our method is demonstrated through trials on the Network Security Laboratory (NSL) and Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity (CIC) 2017 datasets, where the application of RNNs for intrusion detection shows substantial practical implications. Specifically, we achieved accuracy scores of 99.6% with Decision Tree, Random Forest, and CatBoost classifiers on the NSL dataset, and 99.8% and 99.9%, respectively, on the CIC 2017 dataset. By reversing the conventional sequence of training data with RNNs and then extracting features before applying classification algorithms, our approach provides a major shift in intrusion detection methodologies. This modification in the pipeline underscores the benefits of utilizing RNNs for feature extraction and data preprocessing, meeting the critical need to safeguard data security and communication freedom against ever-evolving network threats.

Objective: The rapid adoption of health information technology (IT) coupled with growing reports of ransomware, and hacking has made cybersecurity a priority in health care. This study leverages federal data in order to better understand current cybersecurity threats in the context of health IT.

Materials and Methods: Retrospective observational study of all available reported data breaches in the United States from 2013 to 2017, downloaded from a publicly available federal regulatory database.

Results: There were 1512 data breaches affecting 154 415 257 patient records from a heterogeneous distribution of covered entities (P < .001). There were 128 electronic medical record-related breaches of 4 867 920 patient records, while 363 hacking incidents affected 130 702 378 records.

Discussion and Conclusion: Despite making up less than 25% of all breaches, hacking was responsible for nearly 85% of all affected patient records. As medicine becomes increasingly interconnected and inform...

This statistic gives information on the cyber security risks and threats that would have the most detrimental impact according to businesses in Canada in 2017. According to the findings, 55 percent of businesses reported that unauthorized access, manipulation, and theft of data would be damaging to their business.

In 2024, the number of data compromises in the United States stood at 3,158 cases. Meanwhile, over 1.35 billion individuals were affected in the same year by data compromises, including data breaches, leakage, and exposure. While these are three different events, they have one thing in common. As a result of all three incidents, the sensitive data is accessed by an unauthorized threat actor. Industries most vulnerable to data breaches Some industry sectors usually see more significant cases of private data violations than others. This is determined by the type and volume of the personal information organizations of these sectors store. In 2024 the financial services, healthcare, and professional services were the three industry sectors that recorded most data breaches. Overall, the number of healthcare data breaches in some industry sectors in the United States has gradually increased within the past few years. However, some sectors saw decrease. Largest data exposures worldwide In 2020, an adult streaming website, CAM4, experienced a leakage of nearly 11 billion records. This, by far, is the most extensive reported data leakage. This case, though, is unique because cyber security researchers found the vulnerability before the cyber criminals. The second-largest data breach is the Yahoo data breach, dating back to 2013. The company first reported about one billion exposed records, then later, in 2017, came up with an updated number of leaked records, which was three billion. In March 2018, the third biggest data breach happened, involving India’s national identification database Aadhaar. As a result of this incident, over 1.1 billion records were exposed.

As of July 2023, Malaysia reached the highest score on the National Cyber Security Index among countries in the Asia-Pacific region, 79.22 out of 100. In contrast, Myanmar received 10.39 index points, the lowest score across APAC. Cybercrime and industry composition in APAC Cybercrime in the Asia-Pacific region has experienced a surge recently, not least attributable to rapid digital transformations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Another important reason for the substantial number of attacks is the prevalence of manufacturing industries in the APAC region - cybercrime in the manufacturing industry is more common relative to other industries. In 2022, about a quarter of cyberattacks across industries worldwide occurred in the manufacturing industry. The industry’s economic significance, richness in intellectual property, and digitalized industrial processes tied to other sectors make it an attractive target for cybercriminals. Cybersecurity in Malaysia In 2022, the revenue growth of the cybersecurity market in the Asia-Pacific region was led by Malaysia, with a 15 percent growth. Even though Malaysia ranked highest in the national cyber security index in the region in 2023, a year earlier, the share of businesses that experienced cyber incidents in the Asia-Pacific region was largest in Malaysia, with about three-quarters of local companies experiencing such incidents. The Malaysian government has taken steps to create a safer cyber environment, including the establishment of the National Cyber Security Agency in 2017.
