5 Trends In Cybersecurity That You Didn't Know About


Both the global IT architecture and the cyber threat landscape are rapidly evolving. Thus it has become important for business owners to make sure that their employees, and digital assets, are secured online.

Securing employees and digital assets can only be done successfully when – 

  • User access

  • IoT devices

  • Networks

  • Mobile devices and

  • Cloud devices are all backed with the latest cybersecurity measures.

However, digitally securing online and offline assets of a venture are next to impossible if CTOs are not aware of the latest cybersecurity trends. This post, in the following sections, aims to bridge the gap highlighting the top 5 cybersecurity trends.

Here goes – 

#1 – Consolidated cybersecurity solutions are gaining popularity

According to the lead expert of a cyber security consulting service provider, traditionally, corporate IT security architectures were built using several standalone IT security solutions. 

Each IT security solution would entail a bespoke design that would address a specific security risk. This approach always results in a disconnected and complex IT security system. 

Furthermore, no thanks to the complexity of the system, the people tasked to manage the system would always be overwhelmed and won’t be able to monitor, let alone mitigate the security concerns. 

On top of this, this complex assortment of security solutions would give rise to a plethora of IT security gaps no thanks to overlapping cybersecurity technologies.

To mitigate the above scenario(s), starting this year, businesses around the world are choosing consolidated cybersecurity solutions that are developed and managed by a single vendor. 

This shift is now allowing enterprises of all sizes, sectors and ages to enjoy a cyber security solution that offers – 

  • Improved visibility

  • Enhanced efficiency and

  • Reduced TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).

#2 - IRM (Integrated Risk Management) is trending

CTOs of small, medium and large-scale enterprises have started seeking integrated risk management solutions from revered vendors and this trend is gaining a lot of traction.

Why?

Well, IRM solutions offer a lot of benefits to SMEs as well as established brands. 

Some of those benefits are as follows - 

  • Integrated risk management solutions cultivate a risk-awareness culture within the confines of a business.

  • IRM solutions enable technologies that allow the employees, IT security officials as well as the top brass of an enterprise to make decisions that won’t subject the enterprise to unnecessary cybersecurity risks. 

  • IRM solutions offer CTOs of SMEs and MNCs an integrated view of how the unique set of cyber risks pertaining to their organisation are being managed in real-time.

#3 – Developing applications by prioritising digital security from the get-go is the norm

Companies that offer cyber security consulting services to MNCs as well as SMEs associated with developing applications, often advise their clients to instruct their in-house developers to prioritise the online security of apps from the planning phase.

The pressure to launch an app on time, before the rival, is so immense that often application development companies instruct their in-house developers to leave building security measures within the source code of the under-development app until the project reaches the testing phase. 

This approach often results in newly launched applications with vulnerabilities that can lead a software development company to the ground!

To avoid such incidents, software development companies around the globe, under the instruction of their preferred cyber security consultants, are instructing their in-house software developers to incorporate security measures into a project from the planning phase. 

Integrating vulnerability scanning solutions into CI/CD pipelines from the get-go is allowing software development companies to – 

  • Reduce the cost of the project

  • Reduce the chances of cybersecurity mishaps and

  • Keep timelines as well as release dates unchanged!

#4 – Implementing CNAPP solutions is on the rise

Companies around the world are adopting cloud-based IT infrastructures. But ditching traditional onsite IT infrastructure security for cloud-based solutions entails their own unique assortment of security challenges.

This is why the demand for CNAPP solutions is skyrocketing starting this year. CNAPP stands for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms. A typical CNAPP solution would consist of –

  • Cloud Service Network Security (CSNS) solution

  • Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solution and 

  • Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) solution.

Integrating Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms enables businesses reliant on cloud based IT infrastructures to tie up loose ends pertaining to cloud visibility and cloud security. Implementing CNAPP solutions also allows enterprises to simplify cloud security architectures.

#5 – Increased reliance on managed cybersecurity services

In recent years, there has been a drastic drop in the availability of skilled personnel who are adept in cybersecurity-related skills. This is the reason why several MNCs as well as SMEs often go ahead and carry out their business operations without setting up an in-house cybersecurity cell. Hence, it is no surprise that those ventures end up getting attacked online or become the victim of digital espionage.

To put an end to it all, globally, CTOs of both SMEs and MNCs are now relying on managed services offered by revered third-party cybersecurity consultancy firms.

In this context, available managed cybersecurity services these days are – 

  • Managed detection and response (MDR) services

  • Managed security services (MSSs)

  • Cloud Network as a Service (CNaaS)

  • VPN as a Service (VPNaaS) and

  • Firewall as a Service (FWaaS).

The advantages of incorporating managed cybersecurity services in a business are many. 

Some of them are as follows – 

  • Each cybersecurity solution is customised and managed professionally 

  • Managed cybersecurity solutions offer more scalability and

  • The total cost of ownership for managed cybersecurity solutions is low compared to in-house solutions
