No one can predict the future of cybersecurity, but we can anticipate the ways in which economics, politics, privacy and technology might impact it.
Cybercrime is never far from the headlines, and with awareness of data security gaining momentum following the introduction of the GDPR, it’s important to consider what the future holds.
The Internet of Things (IoT) significantly influences cybersecurity.
Our homes and offices are being filled with smart devices that use internet connectivity to provide digital assistance and convenient ways to undertake everyday tasks.
Unfortunately, this has turned us into endpoints and therefore potential conduits into a network for hackers.
The IoT is a huge ecosystem with a diverse set of components, and therefore often blurs the lines between personal and business data. Hindering innovation of this kind isn’t the way forward, and the data used by IoT devices must be protected.
Users want more functionality but without fear that their data is capable of being intercepted, which is why the continued enhancement of IoT security is vital.
The future of cyber security is likely to be dynamic, and consisting of several layers:
Two-factor authentication and password policies are two examples of cyber security governance that shouldn’t be dictated by the culture of a business.
Instead, we need to look at the best governance for a particular company or industry and ensure it’s embedded into the culture. This can come from training and by embedding within business cultures the understanding that security is everyone’s responsibility.
As the future of cyber security moves towards the aforementioned layered approach, it’s important for partners to work together.
By working closely with partners on cyber security, businesses can ensure system integrations share security controls in order to improve the overall security posture of an industry.
Cybersecurity will increasingly become a team effort. The goal for every business should be to develop and maintain good partner relations in order to ensure that their systems and networks are secure, rather than focusing on individual components.
According to Cybersecurity Ventures, there’s likely to be a global shortfall of 3.5 million cyber security jobs by 2021.
This huge skills shortage can be addressed in part by allowing machine learning to enhance cyber security. The ability for software to react and respond based on an infrastructure’s baseline behaviour, means low level tasks can be left to the machines.
In turn, that will allow human resources to instead focus on the high level, high risk procedures and processes - an approach often referred to as ‘cognitive security’.
If we’re prepared to deal with the rising threat of cybercrime as a community, cyber security solutions will benefit from a partner-based approach and security-first business culture.
In reality, cybercriminals can’t be stopped entirely, and no system will ever be bulletproof, but the more difficult and expensive it becomes for adversaries to gain access to data, the more likely they are to move on.
