Cyber Security always remains at the top of the priorities for the businesses. Businesses work together being connected through a network by utilizing data sets. Using information technology (IT) and its trends almost all the businesses are getting automated. They are using Artificial Intelligence, Robots as well as Automated Analytics. Even in the currencies, the technologies are everywhere to automate and transparent the datasets. The industries are making changes to their systems and storage using automation and network. Even in IoT or the Internet of Things too. Like the growing internet nowadays is being used by people almost all over the World. Taking all these things into consideration as the developing internet, etc., the businesses are facing data breach issues. As the data are someway or the other connected with the internet, and hence providing an opportunity to the hackers to hack it. And of course, the organizations are well aware of this, and protecting their networks by some re-designed system, by developing the new gateways, but still the problem remains.
What is Cyber Security?
In a formal definition, Cyber Security is a part of information technology, generally processed and used to protect the networks, devices, programs, and information from being attacked, hacked, damaged or acessed without any authorizations. The other term for Cyber Security is IT security. It is important to protect any kind of information and data sets that can be shared through a network or to store over a network, and thus the idea of Cyber Security takes over the place.
Some basic elements of Cyber Security are Network Security, Application Security, Data Security, Identity Management, Cloud Security, Disaster Security and also the Antiviruses, that are generally getting used in case of any security purposes.
Why Cyber Security is still Evolving?
Cyber Security is still evolving and will always because there is always something new in the technology and whenever there is something new, you need to make sure about the security measures. The traditional Cyber Security will not always work. With new technology, you will need a new security strategy. When not upgraded the security system, it gets easier for hackers to use the technology and hack the data. Hence there are requirements of the new technologies for Cyber Security to make win against these hackers.
As information technology is emerging throughout the times, the Cyber Security needs to be evolved to handle any kinds of threats from the cloud, mobile devices, as well as any wireless devices, and even also in the wearable gadgets too by using a variety of data centers, routers, hosts, etc.
The recognition software of Cyber Security is replacing the use of passwords dependent systems. Using biometric measures and other safety protocols, Cyber Security is now modifying the security level for businesses and their practices. Especially for the business to business networks or the platforms they are being connected with each other. Despite this, the IoT or the Internet of Things is getting developed and is going to be prone to at a risk to get hacked.
Some Emerging Technologies can be utilized to win against hackers:
The fighting or battle between the data defenders and the data hackers can be well described as the “cat and mouse chase game”. Once the data defenders make a way to get rid of the hackers and make a win against them, the thieves build some ugly strategies to get back on the track by using the updated technologies. Here are the five upcoming security technologies which can be utilized to win over the battle against those thieves.
Authentication through Hardware. There are several usernames and passwords present over the networks and the internet. And for this, a lot of authentication is required. By using this security technology, the authentication can be backed up into the user’s own hardware. A major popular business “Intel” is thinking to use this technology in their systems. The techniques behind these security systems are to combine the varieties of hardware-enhanced factors along with validating the user’s identity at a time. And this is extensively going to be used for the purpose of IoT, as the networks over the internet require to ensure the user’s authentication and authorized access to the accounts over it.
User Behaviour Analytics or UBA. In short UBA is a way to track the user’s behavior and generate the analytics of the behavior by comparing the user’s past and present behaviors in the platform over the network. It happens when a hacker gets the username and passwords of any user, they easily crawl to the account and do some malicious works which may put a red flag and make a bad impression for the platform and its user behavior analytics. This technology can be extensively used for social media channels and platforms.
Data Loss Prevention. Data or information are now extensively utilized by the industries and businesses that share information with each other by being connected over network. There are so many risks for the data or the information to be breached. The main purpose of this technology is to prevent the data loss and stop unauthorized access to the datasets, and the majorly used techniques behind this security technology are “Encryption” and “Tokenization” (using a token to get authorized access to a dataset or a piece of information). By this the data can be secured in a way that only an authorized token holder having access to the data sets can view or edit the data. This technology protects the data for any fields and their subfields too. Thus the data can be securely moved or shared over the networks. This technology is extensively used for payment purposes, health information purposes as well as individual personal identity purposes.
Deep Learning. This is a whole new technology extensively used for any business or the industries for security purposes. As the name implies, it deals with the technologies of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Same as user behavior analytics or UBA, it also focuses on the user’s autonomous behavior to detect any malicious behavior. Additionally, the machine learning technology assists to find out or to detect the advanced persistent threat by its ability to regarding advanced threat detection.
Cloud Storage. This is the more secure and safer kind of storage option that extensively being used across the businesses and industries over the World. It has more secure options like the security hardware as it enables the user to get authenticated using his/her own hardware, or building hardware to prevent any unknown or unauthorized user to get access to the datasets, and also prevent any unauthorized system to get accessed to the information and prevent them. The irony is that this technology does all these things virtually not physically and helps to store and share the data in a more secure way. Also, any data can be saved automatically on the cloud once entered.
The above mentioned five security technologies can assist the companies and their businesses over the World to get connected more securely and share information, and also provide a chance to fight against the data thieves or hackers.
