3 cybersecurity trends for 2021
These techniques , tools and approaches were revealed by analysts at Gartner ’ s Security & Risk Management Summit APAC in March . The summit is further planned globally : London and Florida , in September , and Tokyo in October .
Breach and Attack Simulation Breach and Attack Simulation ( BAS ) tools are emerging to provide continuous defensive posture assessments . When CISOs include BAS as a part of their regular security assessments , they can help their teams identify gaps in their security posture more effectively and prioritise security initiatives more efficiently .
Privacy-Enhancing Computation These techniques protect data while it ’ s being used , rather than while it ’ s at rest or in motion , enabling secure data processing , sharing , cross-border transfers and analytics , even in untrusted environments . Implantations of this are on the rise in fraud analysis , intelligence , data sharing , financial services , pharma and healthcare , and Gartner predicts that by 2025 , 50 % of large organisations will adopt privacyenhancing computation for processing data .
Cybersecurity Mesh This is a modern security approach that consists of deploying controls where they are most needed . Rather than every security tool running in a silo , a cybersecurity mesh enables tools to interoperate by providing foundational security services and centralised policy management and orchestration . With many IT assets now outside traditional enterprise perimeters , a mesh architecture allows firms to extend security controls to distributed assets .
