Trends In Cybersecurity That You Didn't Know About

#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.

#2 IRM (Integrated Risk Management) is trending

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.

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.

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

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.

#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.

#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 –

Cloud Network as a Service (CNaaS)

VPN as a Service (VPNaaS) and

Firewall as a Service (FWaaS).
