Battles in today’s technological world are no longer viewed as the use of tanks or guns but rather the use of weaponized cyber security threats to destroy an entire city. The internet faces many challenges, placing information security in great danger. Unfortunately, the cybersecurity exercises remain a cat-and-mouse game, a very reactive activity in that the organization keeps developing solutions for an already successful attacker. This means that the attackers have committed themselves to make internet users’ lives miserable. They are constantly developing more sophisticated attack technologies, making it nearly impossible to completely avoid cyber threats. As a result of this cyber security future, organizations need to institute mechanisms and measures to eliminate these insecurities. It implies that organizations incorporate technological tools, practices, and processes designed to safeguard the utilized computers and networks, the running programs, and the digital data. If this is not implemented, organizations are vulnerable to having their data phished out and destroyed by being manipulated by cyber criminals and terrorists.

Technology is increasingly becoming so diverse in contemporary society. Advancements in the technology sector are happening at a very high rate. Moreover, developments and complexities in technology are extremely compelling, requiring everyone to be extremely cautious about the security of all of their computerized information. However, the bitter truth is that the continued advancements in technology are also accompanied by increased cybersecurity sophistication (Khando et al., 2021). This necessitates the development of more advanced techniques and mechanisms for dealing with these threats by technology engineers. Artificial intelligence systems are rapidly expanding in today’s society. Coincidentally, there is a high probability that more automated and sophisticated attacks on social engineering will develop. Because of the growing population of social media users, technology and internet systems are at risk of increasing cyberbullying.

The internet is explosively growing at a very high rate; indeed, it can be anticipated to continue expanding its usage. With current projections indicating that more than 40 billion people will use the internet by 2030, a massive amount of data will need to be collected. In other words, sophisticated security measures and mechanisms must be implemented to counter any threats that may jeopardize a large amount of data (Khando et al., 2021).

Cyberthreat scenarios are reported daily. This includes cases such as data theft on social media sites such as Facebook. Particularly, it involves using individuals’ data to commit crimes. The criminals use the owners’ credentials and data to falsely represent or impersonate themselves to commit crimes alongside them (Alshaikh et al., 2019). This means that one may be accused of criminal activities while innocent simply because someone wrongly used their data. No one is safe from this. Software developers and engineers need to anticipate the future and develop technological mechanisms and measures that would be able to identify individual biometrics.

Cyber threats also affect financial institutions. While financial institutions are doing much to improve their customers’ experiences, such as having internet banking, these are creating more avenues for cyber-attacks in that some criminals have created software for manipulating other people’s accounts to steal money from them, such as by moving money to fake accounts. Moreover, banks have been blaming cybercriminals for the loss of enormous quantities of money (Wang et al., 2021). These demagogues steal millions of dollars by installing viruses that disrupt the bank’s computer systems.

There is no doubt that future cyber threats will be at stake and even worse than what is being witnessed today if correct mechanisms and measures are not instituted to change the situation at hand. There are a number of imminent issues of concern regarding cybersecurity globally (Bayl et al., 2022). One of these issues is increased government enrollment. Most governments throughout the world, particularly the US, will act to address the threat of cyber insecurity since it is the duty of the state to defend its people. Laws will be passed to limit hacktivism-related actions. Legislation that prohibits cyberbullying and imposes harsh penalties on people who commit cybercrimes are both things that might be approved.

However, given the rate at which cyber threats are increasing, governments must work together to develop international laws that will foster a challenge to cyber criminals. To get away with cybersecurity, governments must collaborate with organizations responsible for providing networks such as Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox (Alshaikh
