It’s still a dangerous cyber world as we enter 2022, but one that today’s attorneys and legal technologists are prepared to tackle. Here’s what they predict for cybersecurity in the new year.

Anya Korolyov​, vice president, cyber discovery services and custom solutions, HaystackID: “In 2021, cyber breaches have become front-page news with some of the largest brands in the world being targeted. Phishing attacks will become stronger and evolve, turning the focus to AI models, and ransomware’s impact will be felt even more than in 2021. Employees and customers are more in the know and frightened, and they want businesses to raise their security game.
