Security vendors are rapidly expanding their range of solutions to contain the ever-increasing scope and volume of cyber attacks. With strong data protection practices in demand, security vendors are poised to offer a more personalized approach, taking into account factors like IT infrastructure size and complexity, industry and budget. This customized approach will render organizations with solutions that are uniquely tailored to their requirements. To that end, it is foreseen that specialist cybersecurity software providers will enable organizations to establish stricter control over their IT infrastructures and have a better understanding of their weak points, so they can fix loopholes before a data breach occurs. A major breakthrough in the cybersecurity realm is the radical development of AI-enabled cybersecurity. Essentially utilizing machine learning to predict and identify attacks in real-time, AI has the capacity to learn the `norm' of a system and constantly check for any deviations. At the same time, with the threat landscape becoming complex with hackers launching targeted attacks on different organizations and their users, organizations are also realizing the need to add more security layers.Coupled with that, new blockchain platforms are also stepping up to address security concerns in the face of growing attacks. Since a blockchain system is protected with the help of ledgers and cryptographic keys, attacking and manipulating it becomes extremely difficult. Blockchain decentralizes the systems by distributing ledger data on several systems rather than storing them on one single network. This allows the technology to focus on gathering data rather than worrying about any data being stolen. As enablers at the helm of this transformation, CIO Applications' editorial board has evaluated the leading-edge cybersecurity providers in the market that are not only helping to identify and eliminate the new-age cyber threats but also evoking an era of swifter, more powerful, and highly sophisticated security solution.Let us know your thoughts.
