Organizations are continuously fortifying their offerings through patching, updating systems, strengthening real-time defences with the right firewalls, antivirus packages, and encryption tools to protect their networks and data from unauthorized access attempts, and eventually improving information security and business continuity management. The changing threat landscape requires organizations to rope in and balance two additional critical factors--people and processes--alongside technology. The efficiency of a successful cybersecurity plan correlating with an organization's security goals, however, requires uniquely tailored security strategies bolstered by intelligence.Today, AI is deployed to perform a myriad of security tasks ranging from identifying phishing emails to monitoring the network and zeroing in on any unusual activities of the user. Additionally, solution providers have excited the use of blockchain, behavioral analytics, and machine learning technologies to further strengthen their offerings from unknown threats. While assuring advanced endpoint protection, in addition to crowdsourcing threat intelligence, the shift over to secure and fortified cloud services and embedded chip-security is in the right direction toward enhancing security initiatives.Though big or small, the vulnerability quotient for a cyber breach remains the same for all enterprises across sectors. Success in this arena is a product of a plethora of lessons learned, and the numerous failures, which can be studied upon to reveal added security features that can anchor a robust cybersecurity portfolio. Leafing through these pages will keep you abreast of the trends, as the articles attest the key to future proof your valuable assets and secure the cyber landscape.Let us know your thoughts.Managing EditorJoe PhillipEditorial StaffBen JacksonDaniel HolmesNaomi DaleSinchana Nagesh*Some of the Insights are based on the interviews with respective CIOs and CXOs to our editorial staffVolume 04 - 05Published by ValleyMedia, Inc.
