What Paul Tracey can say in an interview on
The Biggest Risks Facing Companies & Organizations in 2022:

1. Cyber Attacks and Ransomware. 2022 is poised to be the most profitable year for cybercriminals to date. Protecting your companies’ technology infrastructure and data should be priority number one. In 2021 we saw the number of data compromise victims (160 million) is higher than Q1 and Q2 2021 combined (121 million).

Along with the increased risk for attack, companies also face increasing legislative and insurance requirements that can cause large monetary losses. Besides the financial loss, companies affected by a breach also include loss of vital data, damaged reputation, civil litigation, and compromised accounts for sale on the dark web.

2. Distributed Workforce (work-from-home). A distributed workforce has become an essential part of almost every business since the start of last year. 2022 will only increase the requirement for businesses to offer work-from-home options of some kind.

The risk is twofold: On one hand, if you send workers home without the proper systems and security, your risk for data breach increases exponentially. On the other hand, the longer you wait to allow work-from-home options, the more you risk losing current employees and a loss in recruitment.
3. Supply Chain Interruption. We have already seen the effects of supply chain disruption due to the pandemic and cyber attacks. The chaos caused by the colonial pipeline attack, and our current inability to get cream cheese are just a couple of examples. This trend will continue into 2022 and companies will need to be prepared for intermittent and long-term shortages in various supply chains.
How companies plan for these issues will have a direct result on their ability to produce and profit. Even if items are available, the cost can be driven up overnight and cause major financial problems throughout an organization.
