Which technology trend do most cyber

Contents Cybersecurity is a day-to-day operation for many businesses. A lack of data protection, side effects of a global pandemic, and an increase in exploit sophistication have led to a huge incline in hacked and breached data from sources that are increasingly common in the workplace, such as mobile and IoT (internet of things) devices. On top of this, COVID-19 has ramped up remote workforces, making inroads for cyberattacks. Recent security research suggests most companies have poor cybersecurity practices in place, making them vulnerable to data loss. To successfully fight against malicious intent, it’s imperative that companies make cybersecurity awareness, prevention, and security best practices a part of their culture.

Global cyber futuristic financial network security concept. Fast speed internet connection. Block ... [+] chain network getty Most business ventures rely on lessons learned to improve outcomes. They analyze what they did right or wrong to fill gaps and adapt strategies is often a barometer of future success. The cybersecurity industry needs to follow this heuristic model. In 2021 we are already facing a variety of cyber-attacks and look to lessons learned to close cyber vulnerabilities. Three trends to focus on include 1) the expanding cyber-attack surface (remote work, IoT supply chain), 2) Ransomware as a cyber weapon of choice, 3) threats to critical infrastructure via ICS, OT/IT cyber-threat convergence. There are several factors that have led to the Malthusian expansion of the global cyber-attack surface. These influences include digital transformation and the commercial model of more people doing business over the internet. We have moved into the early stages of the Fourth Industrial Revolution that is highlighted by digital interactions and the meshing of machine and human. Our way of life is increasingly online. The digital transformation was rapidly pushed by Covid19 and the need to move individuals working in offices to working remotely from their homes. That led to essentially millions of connected offices. It is estimated that nearly estimatedthat digital transformation was advanced by up to seven years. But at the same time, threat actors and cyber criminals a...

This means that we will continue to see an accelerated rate of digitization and virtualization of business and society. However, as we move into a new year, the need for sustainability, ever-increasing data volumes, and increasing compute and network speeds will begin to regain their status as the most important drivers of digital transformation. For many individuals and organizations, the most important lesson of the last two years or so has been that truly transformative change isn’t as difficult to implement as might have once been thought, if the motivation is there! As a society, we will undoubtedly continue to harness this newfound openness to flexibility, agility, and innovative thinking, as the focus shifts from merely attempting to survive in a changing world to thriving in it. Editor AI has permeated the tools we use to carry out everyday work – from the ubiquitous voice assistants to language translation and tools that allow us to extract structured data from pictures, whiteboard scribblings, and hand-written notes. It also powers much of the robotic process automation that has enabled workloads to be lightened in admin, logistics, accounting, and HR departments. Whatever your industry or job function, you’re likely to find there’s an AI-powered solution designed to make your life easier. This broad trend encompasses AI, the in...

A host of new technologies promise to simplify the mechanics of data-sharing across and between organizations while preserving the veil of privacy. As part of a growing trend, organizations are unlocking more value from their own sensitive data while leveraging enormous volumes of externally sourced data that has traditionally been off limits. This can open up a new arena of data-driven opportunities. Indeed, the ability to share secured data with others within an ecosystem or value chain is giving rise to new business models and products. For example, by pooling clinical data on shared platforms in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers, medical authorities, and drug makers were able to accelerate the development of treatments and vaccines. Moreover, these same data-sharing protocols have helped drug makers, government agencies, hospitals, and pharmacies coordinate and execute expansive vaccination programs that prioritize efficiency and safety, and preserve intellectual property. Read the full trend to learn more. The center of gravity around digital transformation has shifted from meeting the IT needs of an industry-agnostic organization to meeting the unique strategic and operational needs of each sector and even subsector. Hyperscalers and SaaS vendors are working with global system integrators and clients to provide modularized, vertical-specific business services and accelerators that can be easily adopted and built upon for unique differentiation.

Nothing illustrates this so well as the SolarWinds hack, described by Microsoft president Brad Smith as the most sophisticated cyberattack of all time, the reverberations of which have been felt throughout 2021. Homeworking, the ongoing digitization of society, and the increasingly online nature of our lives mean opportunities about for phishers, hackers, scammers, and extortionists. As we head into 2022, there is, unfortunately, no sign of this letting up. This is why it's essential for individuals and businesses to be aware of the ever-growing avenues of attack as well as what can be done to mitigate the risks! AI-powered cybersecurity Similar to the way in which it is used in financial services for fraud detection, artificial intelligence (AI) can counteract cybercrime by identifying patterns of behavior that signify something out-of-the-ordinary may be taking place. Crucially, AI means this can be done in systems that need to cope with thousands of events taking place every second, which is typically where cybercriminals will try to strike. Editor It's the predictive powers of AI that make it so useful here, which is why more and more companies will be investing in these solutions as we go into 2022. Unfortunately, cybercriminals are also aware of the benefits of AI, and ne...
