Nine Network Security Topics Grabbing Headlines in Q1 2020

The security landscape is getting more complex as threats like IoT device attacks, fileless malware, and non-email phishing attacks continue to rise. The cost of failing to protect against these attacks has never been higher. In fact, Ponemon’s recent Data Breach Report found that the average cost of a data breach is now a staggering $3.92 million per incident. As threat actors change their methods, experiment with new technologies, and try out new attack vectors, it can be difficult for organizations to keep up with the rapid pace of change. With that in mind, here are 9 security topics grabbing headlines that you should know about

The exact definition of these buzzwords changes depending on who you ask, but in general, they refer to a framework (and sometimes the set of products used to implement that framework) where users and devices are not trusted by default, even if they are inside the network perimeter. Instead of authenticating a user once and then giving them blanket access, in zero-trust model users must authenticate every time they access a network service.

Many enterprises are interested in moving towards this model (thanks to the increase in remote workers and BYOD), but a lack of knowledge and mature products that offer the necessary capabilities are slowing them down. Read more about zero trusts in BizTech Magazine, Dark Reading or check out the new NIST zero trust guidelines from March 2020.

The current administration’s budget proposal for 2021 includes $18.8 billion allocated for cybersecurity, with approximately $9 billion dedicated to civilian agencies for network security, protecting critical infrastructure and boosting the cybersecurity workforce. Read more about how this budget will be used in software engineering vs computer science.
