Cybersecurity (Zero Trust) risks and enforcements for connected devices
Syed Rehan
Abstract:
Cybercrime costs to grow by 15 percent per year over the next five years, reaching $10.5 trillion USD annually by 2025, up from $3 trillion USD in 2015, Cyber threat intelligence is always a crucial part of any organisation which has connecting devices, as we connect more devices to external networks or through external networks we expose our self to all sort of attacks. The volume of cyber threats is increasing exponentially and likely will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Manual actions simply will not keep pace. As a result, it is imperative we can leverage the power of cloud and augment with Machine learning with data we generate. The internet of things (IoT) covers billions of interconnected devices reachable through the internet from any location and device. Too often, “reachable” can include unauthorized entities as well as intended users. Consequently, new IoT security-related threats have arisen that have the potential to profoundly impact your workloads. In this session, learn how a security strategy that includes using cloud services to mitigate, prevent and provide dynamic measures that can be further enforced with Zero Trust principles.
