Cybersecurity Is Non-negotiable In 2020
In 2020, we’re more connected than ever with current world events shaping our lives so that we’re online for our work, social lives, personal administration and banking, and entertainment.
While it’s completely normalized to spend time online, with an exponential trend towards this being our mainstream means of connectivity, in all areas cybersecurity is of non-negotiable importance.
As both individuals and organizations digitize sensitive components of their processes and systems, cybersecurity should be at the forefront of our strategy as a precaution for protection of our valuable data plus how we ensure we can keep operations on track.
Rather than wait for the repercussions of failing to protect ourselves from threats, with hacks attempted on computers attached to the internet every 39 seconds on average, check out these trends Paradyn collated so we can all develop protocols that keep us secure whenever we’re online.
Essential Trends In Cybersecurity To Know Right Now
Global Data Protection
There’s now a global move among governments and industry watchdogs to make up for lost time when it comes to cybersecurity for individuals as well as restricting tech companies’ management of user data. The EU introduced the General Data Protection Regulation in May 2018 with similar frameworks now starting to appear across other regions and countries worldwide. Consider checking these data protection guidelines if you’re someone who travels regularly or works internationally.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is now being used in cybersecurity to gather data quickly, recognize patterns, and mitigate risks. AI has particular value in the precautionary side of threat management and is likely to be used in tandem with other measures — it’s definitely not just for robotics and automated processes.
Cloud Security
As so many people shift to working remotely, we’re all running cloud storage programs virtually non-stop — in fact, the Office 365 suite is the world’s most used system for business processes with many organizations running its OneDrive and SharePoint functions for remote file access. Our cloud data has real security imperatives and we should be treating this system with the same priority as locking our homes whenever we head out.
Security With Hyperconnectivity
With the Internet of Things, these devices are now in our houses and connected to the net yet how much do we know about our data security when we’re using a Google Home? The use of these devices was quickly commonplace so much so that many of us haven’t considered this a vulnerability point. Without end-to-end security, these are a risk point both while we’re home and away from the house.
Next-Gen Authentication Technology
Even complex passwords can be compromised so two-factor authentication is becoming the norm especially with financial institutions. In 2020 and beyond, this authentication tech will be used even more widely to secure any gaps that exist in user’s accounts as well as for remote access for professional and personal accounts.
