The latest Network Security Technologies for your Business
You
don't have to be a digital service provider; you don't even have to run a
website. Yet digital attacks affect you. Today, computer networks are
an integral part of every organization - without an Internet connection,
data sharing, sensitive information and electronic communication, running a
business is simply impossible.
Each
network is a potential source of opportunity for attackers. We're
not just talking about the financial ones; the ego of attackers will
also be satisfied by shutting down corporate servers or permanently deleting
them.
Aren't
you interesting for cyber criminals? It's not true. The difference
between attacking an international corporation and your business lies in
publicity - while blocking a multinational's servers will provoke a massive
media response, "only" your employees, customers and business
partners will find out about the attack on your company.
IT
trends shape and will shape the future of healthcare, education and
industry. Applications and machines controlled by artificial intelligence
are constantly increasing, and automation and digitization are involved in
regular customer services and business processes.
The Use of New Generation Firewalls with
IPS platform
New
defense firewalls (NGFW), equipped with the so-called IPS (Intrusion Prevention
System) platform, provide effective defense against today's threats. It
prevents infected data from entering the system by recognizing features typical
of attack preparation. Therefore, make sure that your corporate network is
protected by a similar system.
The Behavioral Analytics
Many
IT security vendors declare that their system uses learning and is gradually
increasing their ability to detect malicious activity. Absolutely all
suppliers claim that even though the databases of malicious codes (virus
definitions - signatures, etc.) still have an irreplaceable role, malicious
activities are detected not only on the basis of static information, but mainly
according to suspicious behavior.
Artificial Intelligence
One
of the methods of artificial intelligence is machine learning. MIT's Computer
Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory recently introduced the AI
??Squared platform. The system can reportedly detect up to 85 percent of
attacks at low false alarms (which doesn't look very impressive, but of course
it depends on the methodology). The basic teaching method is simply
machine learning, when the program receives about the success of its detection
response from the human operator.
Blockchain Technology in Network Security
One
of the latest data protection tools is blockchain. One of the main advantages
of blockchain is the ability to solve a key problem of the Internet of Things:
cybersecurity. Blockchain is everywhere today. If we turn to the
combination of blockchain and the Internet of Things, then it is even more difficult
for the user to understand the intricacies of technology. Those who do not
fully understand it see it as an idealized abstraction of the ledger. They
see tremendous opportunities, but they do not think about the difficulties
associated with putting this concept into practice.
The Zero Trust Model
Until
ten years ago, this approach did an excellent job with the tasks. Problems
began to appear when it became necessary to provide access to applications from
the Internet, as well as remote user access to internal services. To
address infrastructure protection issues, the concept of a "demilitarized
zone" appeared, when there were a number of applications available from
the Internet, but separated from the internal infrastructure. If such applications
were compromised, they could not in any way affect the security of the internal
infrastructure as a whole.
