EXPERT OPINION to provide the data organisations require , they must be deeply interconnected .
The growth of hyperconnectivity enables things like smart businesses , vehicles , buildings and even cities , and will continue to expand at the same rate as other changes affecting the network . They also compound the challenges around securing devices .
Not only are perimeters disappearing but possible attack vectors are also constantly changing . This requires security that operates as a seamless ,

Fourth , with data becoming the fuel to digital business , there ’ s more regulatory pressure to protect data and privacy . As a result , beyond the protection of their IT infrastructure , organisations now need to understand their state of security , which now makes cybersecurity part of the broader risk management strategy of the enterprise . This requires constant assessment of the state of security across the network , especially as data becomes more mobile . It also requires new levels of automation that can automatically ensure compliance even as physical and virtual network devices , workflows and endpoints constantly change the potential attack surface .
Fifth , this challenge goes far beyond issues of scalability and performance . In order for new devices and applications integrated fabric that sees and adapts as connections , devices and workflows change . As the threat landscape continues to become more complex and more difficult to fight , it forces security to adapt to meet the demands of automation , agility and analytics .
To meet these new demands , not only do devices need to be able to work as a single , holistic system but threat intelligence also needs to evolve and adapt quickly .
Which is why the new generation of security solutions need to be able to leverage machine learning and AI for better visibility and greater automation in fighting the volume and sophistication of attacks targeting today ’ s networks . u www . intelligentciso . com | Issue 03
