Organizations are being transformed as a result of technological breakthroughs that are occurring at a rapid rate. Emerging technologies such as cloud computing, AI, automation, and the IoT provide organizations with significant opportunities to create new value. This includes a dearth of experienced cyber-security personnel as well as a steady evolution of cyberattacks and dangerous insider threats.
2021's Key Trends
in Cybersecurity
1.
Threats to the
Clouds
With more and more enterprises moving to the cloud, security measures must be constantly checked and upgraded to prevent data leaks. This has led to a number of cybercriminals devising new techniques to exploit this transition. Many firms are becoming increasingly concerned about cloud security.
2.
Implementation of
AI
AI integration tactics can be implemented by smaller firms that do not have a cyber security team. Programming AI to evaluate enormous volumes of data can help detect potential risks. Cybercriminals, on the other hand, can utilize the same technologies to find flaws in an organization's technology resources.
3. IoT Security
The IoT and 5G networks will be the next hot topics in cyber security in 2021. With the global rollout of 5G networks in 2020, the Internet of Things will enter a new era of interconnectivity. There is a greater risk of cyber attacks due to a lack of security architecture and awareness among equipment.
4.
Automating the
Security Processes
Cyber security experts automate business and information technology activities to save costs and improve efficiency. Robotic process automation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence are among the automation methods that these people are familiar with.
5.
Phishing Attacks
Phishing attacks are especially dangerous because they deceive people into submitting personal information that can be exploited to get access to confidential data.
6.
Ransomware Attacks
Attackers launch ransomware attacks in order to steal confidential information from organizations' databases. Because of this, cybercriminals would demand ransom payments from their victims in order to gain access to databases.
7.
5G
Now, corporations and people may communicate data in a more efficient manner thanks to this next-generation technology. DDoS cyberattacks are becoming increasingly common in industries.
8.
Extended
Detection and Response (XDR)
Users of XDR can easily access data from
endpoints, servers, email, and networks in real-time. They can spot possible
hazards, and gain knowledge into how to mitigate them because they have this
visibility.
9. Remote
Work
"Work from home" is the future of the workplace for many companies, and they've realized it. In order for organizations' remote access capabilities to be secure and patched efficiently, there are technologies that can be implemented.
10. Threats from the
inside
Unrestricted remote access, weak passwords, unsecured networks, and the exploitation of personal devices make it difficult for companies to detect or identify insider threats.
