OT, IT convergence, automation and AI continue to dominate cyber security landscape.
Vendor consolidation, artificial intelligence and automation have emerged as central components of cyber security strategies as businesses deal with an ever-changing and growing threat landscape.
“Attackers are now using a combination of old and new techniques, including wiper malware in which attackers infiltrate your system and wipe your data. Our research shows that in the last quarter of 2022, we recorded 52% wipe malware incidents. Ransomware also continues at peak levels,” said Ricardo Ferreira, field CISO in EMEA for Fortinet.
In order to address this challenge and disparate siloed systems that cannot communicate, CISOs are looking more closely at consolidation and automation of Security Operations Centre to adapt the overall cyber security strategy. Doros Hadjizenonos, regional director for Southern Africa at Fortinet, also underlined the importance of AI and machine learning within cyber security. “It is being used as part of the fabric of security, to automate processes and for business enablement.”
