Supply and Demand: Closing the Growing Gap in Cybersecurity Skills

At a time when the threat landscape ever expanding, two out of three organizations worldwide claim to have a lack of the IT security staff needed. The need for cybersecurity professionals is at an all-time high. The deficit of qualified individuals has made the need for automated security tools more of a requirement than a desire in order to maintain a strong security foundation. Today's products and technologies can enable even small teams to appropriately secure multiple websites and applications, offering potential answers to the pressing recruitment issues.

Takeaways;

• There is a critical lack of qualified IT specialists
• Staffing deficits increase the need for automated tools
• New products can assist small teams facing big security challenges

Digitalisation Transformation -

In 2019, data breaches endured yet again as the largest security threat noted by organizations and IT security professionals alike. If data remains as a high valued commodity, ensuring data privacy and securing personal data will continue to be at the top of the list of an organization's concerns. The increases in privacy legislation, such as GDPR and CCPA, and the understanding of the ramifications stemming from a breach have allowed these concerns to remain heavily in the spotlight. Web application flaws have been identified as the top cause of data breaches. As such, establishing and maintaining web application security has developed into a high priority for all organizations.

Takeaways;

• Data breaches are the biggest security concern
• Data continues to be a high value asset but the need to protect it is even higher
• New laws like GDPR and CCPA enforce consequences for failing to secure data

Private 4G/5G Networks for Verticals

Converged mobile private networks for operational and business-critical communications are now mandatory to keep pace with the global digitization of vertical sectors. Private 4G is a real breakthrough and a necessary first step before the 5G revolution and the generalization of IOT for verticals on their operational site (airports, train stations, ports, mines, etc). 

It is today's new challenge for verticals to be able to provide the best connectivity (adapted coverage, bandwidth, latency, independence from climatic hazards or events that saturate (strikes, attacks) public networks with the best SLAs to be as aligned as possible with business needs. 

The interconnection between public and private networks is also a new challenge, ultimately to adapt telecommunications networks to the needs of businesses and not the other way around. Industry 4.0 or other innovation topics (IIOT) must start today with POCs to prepare the deployment, the choice of application and data solutions, but also the choice of connectivity (private, public or both).
