It ’ s therefore critical that enterprises make API security a priority this year . Organisations must ensure they have visibility of all application usage across their systems , with the ability to look at consumed APIs . Adopting a Zero Trust mindset will support this . It allows enterprises to maintain control over access to the network and all its instances , including applications and APIs , and restrict them if necessary .

Last year , as we began to recover from the pandemic , demonstrating effective cyber-resilience became more crucial than ever . This will continue to be a priority for organisations as we move further into 2022 , as the shift towards permanent hybrid working models for many enterprises will put continued pressure on their ability to detect threats . It ’ s essential that business leaders prioritise security , especially as the trusted perimeter expands to encompass remote users .
As businesses consider their 2022 hybrid workplace strategies , they need to revisit and re-evaluate security from the ground up and assess where they may have unwittingly created gaps in their security armour .

With intense scrutiny on how businesses prepare for and respond to breaches , it ’ s clear that security and compliance concerns will be the key determinant for any interactions with third parties – whether customers , partners , or vendors .
Following the pandemic , digital guides every third-party interaction – potentially exposing data as soon it moves outside of the business ’ digital walls . Endpoints have become beyond critical when it comes to securing data , but you can ’ t always control your endpoints if they exist within another organisation , right ? The answer is , you must , meaning that technology vendors who don ’ t rise to the occasion and implement the same standards as their enterprise customers will lose business , big time .

All indications are that AI technologies will be increasingly prevalent in cybersecurity . However , the types of AI that will be adopted in 2022 will be focused on specific , battle-tested techniques such as statistical learning , anomaly detection and ( in a more limited capacity ) NLP . Certain areas of AI research , such as large language models ( like GPT-3 ), will not be heavily adopted in 2022 for cybersecurity . This is because there is not yet a good use case match within cybersecurity for those technologies and also because the computationally expensive and non-transparent nature of these approaches do not lend themselves well to the SOC needs at present .

2022 will be a year of acceptance and experimentation . Companies are more comfortable with the idea of pilots and small-scale deployments . Innovation and failure are two sides of the same coin , so expect a number of trials and errors as companies find the model that fits them , but ultimately a far more innovative and differentiated market . We have been Zooming into meetings for nearly two years now . We have a generation of confident digital employees who feel able to challenge traditional structures and are less willing to accept a working model that does not meet their needs .
Innovation , acceleration and adaption will be the driving forces behind how businesses operate and deliver over the coming year . p
