Year after year, security flaws are always a constant challenge for public and private organizations all round the world, who need to preserve their business while using increasingly more technology.
In this sense, as an example, Brazil is considered the fifth most persecuted country by cyber criminals, according to the 2021 SonicWall Cyber Threat Report.
Globally, it is expected that 80% of companies will be at risk of virtual attacks, with a high probability of having information from their customers affected in 2022, according to the same document produced by SonicWall.
As a result, these security flaws can cause various damage to organizations, from financial to the image in the market.
That's why we prepared this article with the tendencies of security flaws in 2022. Check it out!
Learn about the main security failure tendencies
Ransomware cyberattacks
One of the main tendencies of security flaws in 2022 continues to be the vulnerability of organizations to ransomware attacks.
In this type of crime, a company's database is invaded and is only released after payment of a kind of ransom, as if it were a virtual kidnapping.
In the first quarter of 2021 alone, Brazil recorded 3.2 billion attempts at cyberattacks, the most common of which were ransomware, according to data released by Eskive.
Home office and remote access
Following, a common challenge among organizations that have adopted the home office is the secure control of access to systems by employees who operate remotely.
This is because the decentralization of professionals provides gaps of vulnerability in several access points.
Thus, companies have less control over the actions of their employees in the same environment in which professional activities are performed.
5G implementation
The implementation of 5G in several countries, including Brazil, despite the high transfer speeds and the consequent practicality and agility of corporate routines, will also bring negative consequences.
This is due to the fact that this high throughput allows hackers to invade and infect a higher amount of company data.
Thus, despite the benefit of technology, 5G also opens doors to security flaws and new types of cyberattacks.
Corporate emails
In 2020, 67% of corporate breaches occurred from professional emails, according to the Verizon Business Data Breach Investigations Report.
This demonstrates that corporate email remains one of the most traditional methods used by hackers, since it is a channel used for business and is seemingly secure.
Attacks on financial systems
Still among the tendencies for security flaws for 2022 are financial systems, which are constantly the targets of various crimes, such as data leakage, for example.
In this sense, it is worth noting that, according to Industry drill-down report financial services, financial organizations suffer 300 times more security incidents than companies in other segments.
Identity management
The advancement of technology also allows criminals to perfect attacks and, currently, there are already scams carried out from synthetic identity. In practice, these are profiles created with real and false data, in which hackers apply financial scams.
Since the beginning of social isolation, this type of cybercrime has become so popular in the United States that McKinsey has elected identity management as one of the organizations' top investments to ensure cybersecurity in 2021.

As seen, these tendencies of security flaws demonstrate the importance of investing in secure systems and platforms to prevent cyber attacks, especially synthetic identity attacks.
For such, biometric resources have become increasingly more effective in preventing these types of hacker attacks.
A modern and robust facial biometrics system uses techniques with algorithms and artificial intelligence that make it difficult for cybercriminals to take action from identity management.
As an example, the Civil Police of the State of São Paulo itself already uses the technology and even inaugurated the Laboratory of Biometric, Facial and Digital Identification of the Civil Police in 2020.
To meet this demand, Vsoft offers BioPass ID, a modern cloud-based biometrics and artificial intelligence platform.
Our feature can be applied to any project with simplicity, efficiency, and is compatible with a wide variety of applications.
BioPass ID technology is used by law enforcement authorities and is available for your projects. Get professional results without having any expert knowledge in biometrics.
Get to know our differentials:
- Quick deployment from cloud-based APIs and ready-to-use model SDK;
- Everything you need to create complete applications with biometric support;
- Quickly integrate high-performance biometric and capture functions into your application;
- Constant updates to the API and Software Development Kit;
- Technical support by email, chat or phone;
- Documentation and source code of sample applications.
In practice, instead of developing a facial recognition system from scratch, it is possible to use BioPass ID in any project, in "White label" format.
Thus, you can include the feature in applications with the Low Code development option, which ensures an even faster development process.
