Every organization has to be a part of this never-ending race against cyber attackers. If you fail to keep yourself ahead of your adversaries, you are likely to become the victim of attacks. In the coming years, defenders have to prepare themselves for some of the most emerging security challenges and threats. These are the following:
Slow security adaptation: Unlike networking and cloud transformation, cyber security solutions are not evolving at the expected rate. The traditional network segmentation has been replaced with a simplified and flat architecture, removing lots of network complexity. However, security solutions still use the traditional zone-based approach to mitigate threats.
Human error: As per the IBM Security service report, more than 95 % of investigated cyber incidents occurred due to human errors, such as system misconfiguration and insufficient patch management.
Third-party vendor security risk: In the world of interconnected businesses, organizations have to let other organizations store and use their information for better business operations, however, this can also lead to a bigger risk. If a third-party gets compromised, the organization is at the risk of losing business data. Most supply-chain attacks use sophisticated attack vectors that manage to bypass existing security systems.
