Ten Cybersecurity Resolutions for 2024

Micaela McMurrough’s commentary was included in a Cybersecurity Law Report article exploring the challenges facing companies in the cybersecurity space in 2024 and how they can work to mitigate cyber risk. Micaela provided commentary on key points of consideration for companies in the year ahead.

Micaela recommended prioritizing an update process for cybersecurity training and awareness programs and ensuring “that employees in different roles and departments are made aware of the latest cybersecurity threats and trends, including cyberattacks that take advantage of new generative AI technologies.”

She added that “although the various rules and frameworks differ, one common emerging theme is the expectation that cybersecurity risk will not be managed solely through IT or security channels, but rather through an enterprise-wide approach that involves senior executives and the board.” Looking ahead, Micaela also pointed out that “we can expect 2024 to be a time of adjustment as companies and regulators both work through expectations in order to reach a ‘new normal’ in connection with all of the new rules and frameworks.”
