Attackers are employing cutting-edge methods to sneak into networks more frequently, making it challenging for businesses to rely on conventional cybersecurity measures. Real-time detection and automated attack responses heavily rely on AI and machine learning. Throughout 2021 and 2025, it is anticipated that the global market for AI-based cybersecurity technology and solutions will increase by $19 billion due to the advantages of having a single system for monitoring, predicting, and responding, along with integrated apps and tools.
Here are the ten most efficient technologies that will help an organization’s security:
1. Endpoint detection and response (EDR)
The difficulties in identifying and reacting to advanced attacks that can escape traditional endpoint security solutions are tackled by EDR. It employs behavioural analysis to quickly identify attacks. EDR has additionally shown to be useful in assisting SOC analysts and security teams in identifying and responding to ransomware and other attack methods that can go beyond conventional signature-based antivirus software and platforms. CISOs use EDR to safeguard their most valuable assets first.
2. Endpoint protection platforms (EPPs)
Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPPs) are critical for merging technology stacks and safeguarding endpoints. They efficiently tackle new threats, such as malware exploits. Vendors are becoming data-driven by concentrating on sophisticated analytics, endpoint visibility, and control.
3. Extended detection and response (XDR)
Security alarms and data from multiple sources are combined and correlated by XDR systems, exceeding older solutions in threat detection, investigation, and automated action. When properly implemented, it minimises costs, improves security efficiency, and decreases risk.
4. Identity threat detection and response (ITDR)
Platforms for ITDR enable monitoring, threat detection, and response, defending businesses’ identity infrastructure against complex attacks. In industries like healthcare and manufacturing, where attackers target soft targets, combining ITDR and IAM improvements is essential.
5. Mobile threat defence (MTD)
Solutions for mobile threat denial (MTD) protect tablets and smartphones from identity theft, phishing, and other sophisticated threats. Built on Ivanti Neurons for MTD and Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile clients, and capable of being deployed on controlled Android, iOS, and iPad devices, Ivanti’s MTD solution is the gold standard in regulated industries.
6. Microsegmentation
A key tool for cybersecurity and zero trust is microsegmentation, a technology that divides workloads based on identification and lowers illegal communication and attack blast radius. It has been successfully employed by CISOs to speed up deployments, isolate high-risk workloads, and formulate situation-specific policy recommendations.
7. Secure access service edge (SASE)
CISOs advise SASE to use zero-trust network access (ZTNA) to safeguard endpoints and identities to streamline consolidation plans. With cloud-based workloads, legacy network designs are unable to keep up, which causes poor user experiences and security holes. Zero trust, identity, authentication, access control, and privilege are the main topics of SASE. Zero-trust network access (ZTNA) and secure access service edge have attracted attention as network and security services for distributed workforces have been reexamined in response to the pandemic.
8. Secure service edge (SSE)
SSE combines ZTNA, Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and Secure Web Gateway (SWG) into a unified cloud platform to secure SaaS, online, and private applications. The handling of various point tools is being made simpler by SSE’s workflows. Also, SSE works well for streamlining, protecting, and enhancing remote user interfaces.
The main benefit for CISOs is how SSE can simplify policy enforcement and combine security technologies on a single cloud platform.
9. Unified endpoint security (UES)
CISOs advise SASE to use zero-trust network access (ZTNA) to safeguard endpoints and identities to streamline consolidation plans. With cloud-based workloads, legacy network designs are unable to keep up, which causes poor user experiences and security holes. Zero trust, identity, authentication, access control, and privilege are the main topics of SASE. Zero-trust network access (ZTNA) and secure access service edge have attracted attention as network and security services for distributed workforces have been re-examined in response to the pandemic.
10. Zero-trust network access (ZTNA)
Zero-trust network access (ZTNA), which operates under the assumption that no connection or resource request can be trusted, imposes least-privileged access to all network applications, resources, and endpoints. Based on confirmed identity and context, it limits connections to authorized individuals, devices, and applications. ZTNA’s integration into the security service edge is facilitated by the high adoption driver of hybrid work (SSE). ZTNA assists businesses in shifting their reliance from username/password to contextual elements including time of day, location, and device security posture.
Conclusion
Attackers take advantage of holes in outdated tech stacks, notably those between endpoint security and identities. Leaders in the industry are attempting to close this gap. CISOs can balance digital activities by combining tech stacks, lowering risks, and guaranteeing consistent policy enforcement with the use of AI-based platforms, cloud-based models, and ZTNA.
