Hikvision Proactive About Cybersecurity
SecurityInfoWatch.com surveyed CSOs, CISOs and other cyber experts to offer their predictions for 2019 cyber threats, and found a consensus among experts that being proactive with cybersecurity challenges is critical to reducing security concerns.
“From cyberattacks on major corporations to breaches on vulnerable industrial control systems and the potential weaponization of AI to an exploding IoT universe traversed with threats, cybercriminals are constantly evolving their tactics as the landscape of digital technology expands. Protecting information that is stored in the corporate cloud or carried in the smartphone of employees leaves security professionals in a constant struggle to find mitigation strategies that work,” according to the article.
SIW received a range of responses on 2019 cybersecurity threats, such as public awareness of cybersecurity, mitigation and resilience; artificial intelligence and IoT security; cloud servers and supply chain servers; zero trust; and authentication protocols.
One respondent suggested that two-factor authentication will need to change to keep up with mobile malware, stating that “it has remained steady over the last few years and will continue to be a problem in 2019 as cybercriminals find new ways to target the high-powered computers we carry around with us every day.” The recommendation is to shift away from 6-digit secret codes sent via text message and instead move to push notifications as a two-factor authentication method that is more difficult for hackers to intercept.
