The Future of Security

Book description

The cybersecurity arms race is escalating. As businesses turn to technologies like cloud computing and mobile devices, security threats such as ransomware are increasing in both number and sophistication. The cloud age is forcing companies to embrace a new approach that includes automation, analytics, and context-aware capabilities for providing advanced threat protection.

In this report, Christina Morillo examines why companies today need to take further steps to secure their networks, data, and identities. IT and infosec leaders, security engineers, and architects will dive into the latest strategies for countering ongoing and increasingly complex intrusions into their systems.

With this report, you'll explore how:

  • Identity-driven, zero trust strategies ensure that only authorized devices are granted access to corporate resources
  • Ransomware threats and attacks are growing in sophistication to include mobile device-related cybersecurity threats
  • Mobile devices are most vulnerable to threats because they're usually not as well-protected as company networks
  • Cloud security and automation introduce a new set of security concerns by moving from on-premises to the cloud or hybrid cloud
