FEATURE : CYBERSECURITY
Reflecting on the past year : Considering its impact on the future
As the year draws to a close , Avkash Kathiriya , Sr . VP – Research and Innovation at Cyware , takes a look at the cybersecurity trends we ’ ve been party to over the last 12 months , as well as where the security ecosystem is heading as we approach 2024 .
The cybersecurity landscape in 2023 continues to be shaped by a range of opposing forces , perhaps most importantly , the growing sophistication of cyber threats and rapid innovation in protection technologies . The result is an environment where organisations and their adversaries are increasingly utilising automation , real-time data and AI-driven systems to gain an advantage .
Arguably , the pace of change across the security ecosystem is accelerating faster than at any time in recent years , driven by the widespread adoption of cloud technologies , the proliferation of Internet-of-Things ( IoT ) devices and , of course , the transformational emergence of Generative AI . With all this in mind , where is the security ecosystem heading as we approach the end of 2023 and what are the trends that will determine the direction of travel ?
1 . The evolution of SIEM
Security Information and Event Management ( SIEM ) solutions have long been a core component of enterprise security stacks . However , traditional SIEMs are losing some ground to newer platforms optimised for handling large volumes of fast-moving security data . For instance , security data lakes act as centralised repositories where security event data from multiple sources can be efficiently stored and accessed , while SecDataOps provides the tools and practices to ingest , manage and analyse security data flows .
