2023 Cybersecurity Predictions and IBM Data Fabric

Key Points

  • IBM X‑Force predicts a 2023 surge in ransomware attacks—especially in regions hit hard previously—while a looming recession fuels the growth of cyber‑crime‑as‑a‑service and pushes hackers to target MFA and EDR defenses.
  • Cyber‑criminals are expected to rapidly circumvent new security tools, leveraging low‑barrier‑to‑entry services that let less‑technical actors launch attacks.
  • IBM announced three IBM Data Fabric solutions now available on AWS: (1) Data Science & MLOps for trustworthy AI at scale, (2) Multi‑cloud Data Integration for fast, hybrid data access, and (3) Data Governance & Privacy to automate data‑protection policies.
  • The forthcoming IBM Cloud Pak for Data Express will bundle three pre‑built, pre‑sized offerings to simplify deployment of data‑fabric capabilities.
