As we look to 2021 and beyond, BT's Dónal Munnelly looks at the cybersecurity trends that businesses can expect.
What sort of trends do you see? growing in cybersecurity in 2021 and beyond?
>>In 2021 I think we're going to see bigger growth in the number of ransomware attacks, we're seeing. We're already seeing, you know, standard ransomware attacks but we're starting to see DDoS with the ransom notes attached. Companies have been asked to, you know, provide a certain amount of bitcoin or they'll get hit with a DDoS attack. This year it's probably more prevalent because we have the homeworker as well as the internet connection that supports the customer's websites so getting hit with a DDoS attack not only takes out your e-commerce site but it might also take out your home workers.
How has Covid-19 changed how organizations need to plan for such a thing in the year ahead and going ahead?
>>Well I think with Covid-19, it's actually an alternate the working framework for us now, you know, we're most certainly not all in the workplace, we're all out in the wild so normally, you know, network security was based around the sort of 'stronghold dividers approach'. So individuals were inside those stronghold dividers, they, you know, had their entrance checked upon at that port of call all things considered and once they were inside the manor then everyone was cheerful also, you know, security groups developed those dividers as high as possible to keep individuals from getting in. Presently no one's in the manor except for everyone needs to get the information and now and then the information is currently not even in the palace so individuals are out in the wild and it's truly around, you know, having a zero trust model about how we access that information and how we divide information among the organization and others. A ton of organizations have moved to the cloud at a speed so we're seeing an outrageously enormous move for organizations to give administrations through the cloud to their telecommuters so there's a major change for organizations in that terms of how they would get to that information, how their representatives would get to that information and the security around moving to the cloud so it's just fine to move to the cloud yet you need to ensure it is proper security methodology set up for your staff to have the option to get to the correct cloud services in the opportune spot from the correct gadget.
And what kind of difficulties do they need to think about first as far as moving to the cloud?
Well, it's really around, do you need to move to the cloud?
>> What components of your business do you need to move to the cloud? A few organizations have legacy systems, which perhaps always will be unable to move to the cloud, you need to keep them on-prem. In any case, some different pieces of their business perhaps like CRM or call focus, that sort of stuff can move to the cloud effectively and have pre-arranged cases for it. There's plenty of diverse use cases for those kinds of situation, what's more, there's a great deal of clear security decides that would go with that so it's truly about, do you need to move to the cloud completely or on the other hand, are there sure components of your business with your own workers there that you need to help through cloud implies?
What territories of network safety do you think aren't being examined enough by business pioneers?
>>Well I figure a fascinating one that isn't being examined is the digital development appraisal, you know, so how developed is your business in terms of network safety? What components do Do you have a setup? A lot of organizations talk about point arrangements so we hear a ton about, you know, firewalls or um DDoS security or SIEM frameworks, however, they simply point arrangements, they're definitely not actually an all-encompassing perspective on your association also, how your association is protecting itself from the dangers inside your area, so having that sort of all-encompassing perspective on the 10,000-foot view of the organization truly helps clients and organizations push ahead with their digital appraisal, what's more, see where they fit inside that security model.
They can likewise sort of gauge themselves against different organizations to perceive what other organizations are doing inside their area and where they fit.
