For the past 30 years, ESET has witnessed the growth of malicious cyber activity, affecting individuals, businesses, and governments. While the outlook for the future remains challenging, with cybercriminals and advanced threat actors using increasingly sophisticated tools and techniques, we are working with our industry partners to leverage new technologies to keep us safe in the digital age. Today’s powerful technologies and AI improvements give us a glimpse into future threats deployed by cyber criminals and state-aligned groups. But these are also the same technologies that empower ESET to be future-ready and continuously adapt its detection and response capabilities to emerging threats. Sadly, the outlook remains challenging; we will continue to see more criminal activity, more nation-state operations, and increased sophistication in tools and techniques, with a steady stream of vulnerabilities for malicious actors to exploit.
