2024 saw record instances of cyber-attacks and widespread outages driven by user behaviours and software updates, impacting widely-used providers. This shone a spotlight on the need for ever more sophisticated approaches to ensure continuity of service. Emerging approaches include zero-trust architecture with its principles of continuous verification and "never trust, always verify", multi-factor authentication and quantum-safe practices.
