Greg Young of Gartner presented top security trends for the region:
1. Social media companies will increasingly determine the threat landscape as attacks spread through their platforms, yet they do not prioritize security.
2. The growing Internet of Things expands the attack surface exponentially as more devices become connected but insecure.
3. Governments struggle to share threat intelligence with the private sector and prioritize control over collaboration.
4. Security spending yields diminishing returns due to a shortage of skilled professionals to implement and manage the growing number of tools.
The document discusses the need for organizations to build a "Digital Fortress" to protect against increasing cyber threats. Recent cyber attacks on large companies showed that cyber security needs to be a top priority. The author proposes a model called DRONE (Digital Resilience Operational Network Ecosystem) to help organizations establish real-time risk management, identity access management, and governance to improve their digital resilience through early threat recognition and response. Adopting the DRONE model can help organizations leverage security best practices and government initiatives to strengthen their cyber defenses.
The Future of Security in Australia: a Think Tank Report by BlackBerry. This white paper from BlackBerry, the mobile-native software and services company dedicated to securing the Enterprise of Things, features the analysis and thoughts from a 10-expert roundtable late last year looking at trends in cyber and mobile security.
Companies are developing their internal IoT security capabilities as they progress with IoT adoption in order to address lingering security concerns. While basic security issues like default passwords continue to put IoT devices at risk, more mature adopters are now enforcing stricter security specifications for devices and treating IoT security like corporate IT security through practices such as network segmentation, access controls and training users. Experts recommend that rather than fearing IoT, companies should find ways to benefit from it by developing internal expertise to ensure their IoT use is secure.
This document discusses mobile security for businesses. It begins by noting that mobile devices present new security risks that companies often only address reactively after a breach. However, mobile security allows businesses to capitalize on opportunities from mobile applications if done properly. The document then provides an overview of common mobile security threats like malware, privacy issues, and social engineering. It concludes by offering a 7-step checklist for better mobile security practices that IT administrators can implement, including securing devices with passwords and preparing phone location/remote wipe services.
The three main categories of the data network environment effecting IT security are all undergoing major change simultaneously. In the year ahead, these changes will manifest themselves as security challenges. These trends fall into three categories: client devices (the consumerization of IT); the external threat environment (the institutionalization of threat development); and the hosting environment (virtualization). Any one of these dynamics should shade the thinking of IT strategists inside companies and other organizations. Taken together, they may spur major re-evaluations of current practices.
Biometrics: A New Wrinkle Changes the Authentication Landscape mercatoradvisory
Criminal theft of passwords has made passwords obsolete, and so a new factor is required for authentication. Biometrics will be that new factor. It increases security and will prove more convenient for the consumer than passwords as it transitions into a persistent identity over the next 5 to 8 years. Increasingly smartphones are shipping with trusted execution environments that can displace traditional hardware security fobs. These new smartphones are critical to this fundamental shift in biometrics.
A new research report from Mercator Advisory Group titled Biometrics: A New Wrinkle Changes the Authentication Landscape explains the need for multimodal biometric authentication and describes many types of biometrics available from various technology providers. The report shows how biometrics technology has shifted from a primarily hardware-based solution to a software-and cloud-based solution enabled by smartphones that have become much more secure. With voice and face recognition, and now the addition of behavioral biometrics, this shift will drive rapid new innovation and will tip the market in favor of the mobile architecture.

Dr Dev Kambhampati | Strategic Principles for Securing the Internet of Things...Dr Dev Kambhampati
The document discusses the growth of internet-connected devices (IoT) and the risks posed by inadequate security for these devices. It provides strategic principles and best practices for securing IoT devices and systems. The key risks include malicious actors manipulating device data to cause privacy breaches, business disruptions, infrastructure failures. The principles are meant to guide IoT developers, manufacturers, service providers and users in designing, building and deploying secure IoT. Incorporating security from the start, through practices like unique passwords and up-to-date software, is emphasized to reduce risks and costs of breaches.
The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to change the way enterprises connect, communicate, operate, and compete. At the same time, the IoT has left enterprise networks and IoT devices extremely vulnerable to security breaches. Current IoT devices and infrastructures are simply not equipped to tackle today’s sophisticated attack methods. Vulnerabilities can be easily exploited unless security is embedded from the inside out – from conception, deployment, and maintenance, to the network edge and across connected devices and infrastructures.
The document discusses how hybrid IT, which combines mobile devices, cloud computing, and on-premises systems, is transforming enterprise productivity. It describes the "three-legged stool" model of hybrid IT, with mobility, cloud, and traditional IT as the three legs supporting today's knowledge workers. The rise of mobile devices, cloud computing adoption, and the need to access all types of applications and data from any location has led to widespread use of hybrid IT. However, managing security risks from the distributed hybrid IT environment poses challenges for organizations. With the right security tools, hybrid IT can be implemented securely to improve productivity while mitigating risks.
How the Internet of Things Leads to Better, Faster Crisis CommunicationBlackBerry
The Internet of Things promises to provide a wide range of futuristic benefits, but what is often overlooked is how deeply IoT sensors and data analytics already impact how we live and how we conduct business. This is especially true of crisis communications. Here, IoT has far-reaching implications, both in the present and in the future.
This whitepaper explores how IoT sensors powerfully expand the capabilities of networked crisis communication solutions. It also discusses typical scenarios for incorporating IoT sensor data within emergency preparedness scenarios. Finally, it demonstrates why AtHoc is particularly well suited for using IoT data to deliver faster, more accurate situational awareness in an intuitive manner, without inundating employees with excess data or forcing emergency management staff to become data scientists.
Cyberspace is rapidly transforming our lives – how we live, interact, govern and create value. With the JAM (Jan Dhan, Aadhaar and Mobile) trinity, India is at the forefront of global digital transformation. “Digital India” is being hailed as the world's largest technology led programme of its kind.
While internet, smartphones and modern information and
communication devices have been great force multipliers, endless connectivity and proliferation of IoT devices is giving rise to vulnerabilities, risks and concerns. Cyber security is today ranked among top threats by governments and corporates. Heightened concerns about data security and privacy have resulted in a spate of regulations in India and across the world. India is in the process of discussing and enacting its own comprehensive data security and privacy regulation, as well as vertical specific ones. Cyber security is an ecosystem where laws, organisations, skills, cooperation and
technical implementation would need to be in harmony to be
effective.
Overall, a robust regulatory framework based on global and
country-specific regulations, development of a holistic cyber
security eco-system (academia and industry as well as
entrepreneurial) and a coordinated global approach through
proactive cyber diplomacy would help to secure cyber space and promote confidence and trust of key stakeholders including
citizens, businesses, political and security leaders.
CII has been actively working in the cyber security space. The CII Task Force on Public Private Partnership for Security of the Cyber Space has been set up to bring about improvements in the legal framework to strengthen and maintain a safe cyberspace ecosystem by capacity building through education and training programmes. We would facilitate collaboration and cooperation between Government and Industry in the area of cyber security in general and protection of critical information infrastructure in particular, covering cyber threats, vulnerabilities, breaches, potential protective measures, and adoption of best practices.
Cybersecurity of Smart Cities is a controversial topic today.

Commercial Real Estate - Cyber Risk 2020CBIZ, Inc.
Commercial real estate has always been an attractive cyber target offering sophisticated hackers a wealth of personal information store in banking, lease, and employment records and multiple transaction points. Enter COVID-19. Almost overnight, nearly all routine activities are tied to remote capabilities. Now, it’s cyber threat and cyber risk on steroids. Here's a cyber professional’s view of the situation and links to several additional resources.
The document discusses several limitations of IoT-enabled automation solutions:
1. Cybersecurity and privacy concerns are significant as more devices are connected and hackers can more easily access building functions by exploiting vulnerabilities.
2. Lack of integration and interoperability standards means buildings use multiple incompatible protocols, increasing costs.
3. Data capturing and processing has limitations due to the expense of comprehensive sensor deployment and expert analysis needed to derive value from data.
The criticality-of-security-in-the-internet-of-things joa-eng_1115Devaraj Sl
This document discusses the growing use of smart devices and the lack of security and privacy controls built into many of these devices. It notes that while technologies are new, security concepts from decades past can still be applied. However, device manufacturers are often not considering security and privacy during design. This poses risks as these internet-connected devices collect and store personal data without user consent or knowledge. The document calls for security and privacy to be prioritized and built into devices through techniques like encryption, access controls and data minimization. It argues many common excuses for not implementing these controls are false. Information security professionals need to be aware of emerging smart devices and establish appropriate policies for their use.

From “Connected” to “Smart” Home: the future is IoT and InsurtechAndrea Silvello
Our lives are starting to be ruled by devices, wearables and other items that are in one way or another connected to the internet and in some cases between each other. We are now at the beginning of a journey which is still to be shaped by technology, practical applications and privacy and security implications of the Internet of Things and interconnectivity. One of the sectors that has started to grow in these last years is connected insurance, in particular motor telematics insurance which uses black boxes in order to gather driving behavior data in order to offer customized insurance policies and better loyalty schemes to clients. This ongoing and successful experience in telematics has served as a benchmark for other areas of connected insurance like home.
In September 2019, Unbound Tech surveyed 500 members of the Cyber Security Competency Group
(CSCG), a group of cybersecurity professionals (analysts, engineers, and architects) from different industries across North America. The survey addressed cryptographic key management and certificate management practices.
The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT) and its implications for insurance. It notes that as more "things" become connected to the internet and collect data, this creates opportunities for new types of insurance products based on device interactions and data-driven risk assessments. However, it also raises issues around data integrity, privacy, security and regulation that must be addressed. The insurance industry could gain over $1 trillion in new premiums if it properly manages risks related to data, cybersecurity, cloud computing and more.

Accounting for Cyber Risks - How much does Cyber actually cost the Industry?Jef Lacson
The document discusses how cyber risks are costly for the insurance industry. It provides statistics on the global costs of cybercrime and cyber security spending. While insurance can help mitigate some cyber risks, the full costs to the industry are difficult to quantify due to undetected breaches, slow-burn costs from attacks, and impacts on reputation. The insurance industry faces cyber risks both from covering policyholders and securing their own systems and data.
The document summarizes the findings of a global study on consumer confidence and trust in mobile technologies. It found that while mobile device usage is widespread, many users lack confidence in the security of their devices and the networks and services they access. The rapid growth of mobile threats has not been matched with adequate security precautions by users. Building greater trust will require coordinated efforts across the entire mobile industry to address security and reliability issues.

As we enter the digital economy, companies will quickly realize that the differentiator in the digital economy is information and information being a valuable resource is subject to theft, hacking, phishing and a host of other issues which compromise a company’s ability to participate in the digital economy. Cybersecurity misfires compromise the trust of buyers and partners necessary to participate in the digital economy. It is up to every company to ensure that the information shared with them is protected to the best of their ability and proactively notify persons and organizations who entrust their information necessary to transact business (any personal identity information including but not limited to addresses, credit card information, social security numbers, account information, credit information, medical records, etc.) with any potential compromises which can yield harm to them by that information either being used maliciously or shared with others.
This purpose of this writing is to cover some of the core requirements for implementing cybersecurity, the accountabilities for cybersecurity risks and the information used to manage a viable cybersecurity program.
Preparing today for tomorrow’s threats.
When companies hear the word “security,” what concepts come to mind
— safety, protection or perhaps comfort? To the average IT administrator,
security conjures up images of locked-down networks and virus-free devices.
An attacker, state-sponsored agent or hactivist, meanwhile, may view security
as a way to demonstrate expertise by infiltrating and bringing down corporate
or government networks for profit, military goals, political gain — or even fun.
We live in a world in which cybercrime is on the rise. A quick scan of the
timeline of major incidents (See Figure 1, Page 9) shows the increasing
frequency and severity of security breaches — a pattern that is likely
to continue for years to come. Few if any organizations are safe from
cybercriminals, to say nothing of national security. In fact, experts even
exposed authentication and encryption vulnerabilities in the U.S. Federal
Aviation Administration’s new state-of-the-art multibillion-dollar air
traffic control system
The document discusses the security challenges posed by the Internet of Things (IoT). It states that while the IoT concept and some security issues are not new, the scale of IoT networks, the heterogeneity of devices, reliance on cloud computing, and exposure of connected devices create new challenges for securing the IoT. Some key issues mentioned are that IoT is developing faster than laws and standards around security, different devices and platforms may have incompatible security measures, and many potential problems are simply existing security issues magnified by the massive scale of IoT infrastructure. Securing the IoT is seen as both a technological and business challenge that boards of directors need to address due to litigation risks for brands.
- Artificial intelligence/machine learning, GDPR compliance, and DevSecOps were ranked as the top three security trends for 2019 by survey respondents.
- Adoption of AI tools focused on security analytics, incident management, and endpoint protection, but proper integration and skills are needed to fully leverage AI.
- Implementing GDPR requirements such as data subject rights and third party contracts posed the greatest challenges for organizations impacted by the regulation.
- While DevSecOps aims to embed security in the development process, adoption of practices like automated responses and configuration controls remains limited, showing security is not fully integrated.
Securing the Internet of Things Opportunity: Putting Cybersecurity at the Hea...Capgemini
The potential trillion dollar Internet of Things (IoT) business opportunity rests precariously on one critical factor – security. 71% of executives in our survey agreed that security concerns will influence customers’ purchase decision for IoT products. However, despite increasing cyber attacks and ample warning from security experts, most organizations do not provide adequate security and privacy safeguards for their IoT products. In fact, only 33% of IoT executives in our survey believe that the IoT products in their industry are highly resilient to cyber security attacks. Further, despite rising consumer concerns regarding data privacy, 47% of organizations do not provide any privacy related information regarding their IoT products.
So, why are organizations lagging behind in securing their IoT products and systems? Key reasons for this include an expanded attack surface, inefficiencies in the IoT product development process, and the lack of specialized security skill-sets. For instance, our survey showed that only 48% of companies focus on securing their IoT products from the beginning of the product development phase. Building a secure IoT system begins with the recognition that security needs to be as much of a priority as the features and functionality of an IoT product. The report highlights the key measures that organizations must take in order to put security at the core of their IoT value proposition.

Response#1(Leburu)
Internet of Things (IoT):
The digital space has undergone major changes over the past two years and will continue to evolve, according to industry experts. The last entry in digital space is the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT can also be defined as an interaction between the software, telecommunications and electronic devices industries and promises to offer enormous opportunities for many sectors. With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), powered by sensors that will soon be available for billions of dollars, that will work with billions of intelligent systems and cover millions of applications, the Internet of Things will ignite a spark. Launch new consumer and business behaviors requiring increasingly intelligent industrial solutions, which in turn create billions of dollars of opportunities for the IT industry and even more for companies that benefit from the Internet of Things. (Shackelford, S. 2020).
The Internet of Things has three distinct parts: Sensors that collect data (including sensor / device identifier and address), Decision-making and data transfer to decision servers, An application that collects and analyzes this data for greater integration.
Big data analytics and mechanisms can be used to make decisions. Several countries, such as the United States, South Korea and China, have taken the will to exploit the Internet. The main players in IoT initiatives are citizens, governments, and industry. Participation and cooperation of all interested parties at an appropriate time. At this point, we require instructions to link and select key areas, then emphasize the answers to the accumulation, The Internet of Things needs to have a clear strategy and follow a simple goal with the Value-Added and Reduce-cost models. With industry associations, experience in global forums, knowledge of other major IoT countries, and the active participation of global partners, we can promote an approach. More creative based on innovation. The key to the success of the Internet lies in the development of open platforms for scalable, easy-to-use and inexpensive models and citizens, such as sensors. Data should be clearly collected and shared between functions to maximize benefits.
Lack Of Compliance On The Part Of IoT Manufacturers:
New IoT devices come out almost daily, all with undiscovered vulnerabilities. The primary source of most IoT security issues is that manufacturers do not spend enough time and resources on security.
For example, most fitness trackers with Bluetooth remain visible after the first pairing, a smart ref.
The insurance industry has high digital ambitions but is failing to take meaningful action and fully embrace digital technologies. While most insurers see digital capabilities as important, they spend less than 10% of budgets on digital and lack cohesive digital strategies and appropriate operating models. Legacy systems also inhibit digital growth. The industry struggles with bridging the gap between aspirations for digital and concrete plans with funding to achieve digital goals.

Greg Young presents Gartner's view of security trends
#1 Social media companies more than security companies will determine three year threat
trajectory
Since social media companies own so much of the data today, attackers try to bypass company
security scans by using social media links. A lot of attacks are coming from social media based
sites. Also social media companies do not want to block a lot of links since that is counter to
their business model. Social media sites have a certain level of security but threat actors are
channelling attacks from them. On social media, it is easy for threat actors to come up with a
new identity, but an identity that has been around for a few years and known to be good, that is a
powerful thing to get by a lot of security tools. Social media companies have a big and
increasing responsibility that they do not recognise and accept. It is unfortunate that social media
companies have to be pressured to do that, but they are the vector today for a lot of distribution,
rather than looking for problems with operating systems. Social media companies can have a
bigger impact on what happens today. More videos
Greg Young presents Gartner's view of security trends
#2 IoT attack surface is expanding exponentially
For threat actors, the Internet of Things IoT is a fantastic opportunity, since there are a lot more
connected devices than connected PCs, smartphones, and tablets. With everything connected
now, if your neighbour is vulnerable you are vulnerable. And if your neighbour is vulnerable
there are now two adversaries. Threat actors may not use IoT devices directly to stage an attack,
but they may use hundreds of IoT devices to launch a denial of service attack from a vulnerable
nearby site. With all the connected chips, IoT is a platform to be exploited.
In terms of securing IoT, vendors are saying they are protecting the edge of the IoT network or
they are protecting the IoT devices by hard coding security. Most of the hard coded security we
are seeing today is terrible. But securing IoT is no different from what we have today. One place
cannot fit everything and a layered approach to IoT security is required. People are making
mistakes with IoT by giving up one aspect and going for the other. Unfortunately for IoT both
are needed and more than that today. Manufacturers of IoT devices are not really interested in
security, since they believe security can come later or someone else will look after security.
Removing the hype, IoT is really just a lot more devices. More videos

Greg Young presents Gartner's view of security trends
#3 Public and private sector security trade offs
Governments are good at intelligence gathering but really bad at sharing intelligence to stop
attacks. It is a difficult cultural change for governments to be able to help even their own citizens
or their own companies to do that. Governments want to tell people how to secure things rather
than help people. They prefer to set up rules rather than technology.
For the private sector there are also difficult decisions for companies to make. By opting for
disclosure of security breaches they have to choose between risking reputation and helping out
competitors by sharing of information or keeping it secret. They have to choose between the
liability of giving up the privacy and information of their customers and putting their customers
at risk, versus operational cooperation. There are some really difficult choices that companies
and governments are trying to make. It is a shift that is slow and naturally difficult but it could
change.
Relatively in Germany there is a great concern for privacy, and the state of Quebec in Canada. In
the region there is a positive support and enabling of awareness. But around the world
governments are too often concerned about control, sometimes too much, and getting data on
their adversaries, rather than collaboration. That is going to change, since it cannot continue the
way it is. It is almost the dark age of government security right now. More videos
Greg Young presents Gartner's view of security trends
#4 Reducing returns from security spending
In the GCC region, because there are so many attacks going on and because of critical
infrastructure and resource based industries, there is an excellent level of security. However what
you have is too much spending and a shortage of people. When you have the same number of
people having to use more and more tools all the time, they cannot go on with it. So we are
seeing a lot of confusion. An estimated 40% of positions for security are unfilled right now, and
this will go up to 50% to 60% in a few years. So we cannot keep giving our carpenters more and
more tools into the tool bag and expect them to do their task, it is actually becoming a problem.
Some of the biggest attacks we have seen, people have a lot of tools, but there is just too much
work for them, so we have a people shortage. Money is not a problem, it is not going to slow
down, and CIOs are going to keep spending to keep their jobs. In the region itself shortage of
4. 11/22/2015 Lack of attention to security by social media players cause for concern, Gartner | Tech Channel MEA
http://techchannelmea.com/researchandsurveys/lackattentionsecuritysocialmediaplayerscauseconcerngartner 4/7
personnel is a real significant issue. While outsourcing is an option but even they are
struggling. More videos
Greg Young presents Gartner's view of security trends
#5 Exclusion of US and China in security projects
By 2020 10% of requests for proposals will exclude either China or US security companies from
bidding. While currently there is an informal process to exclude either, it is now becoming into a
formal process, due to state sponsored interference in products. This is affecting North America,
China, Asia Pacific. Other than Chinese and US there is everybody else but the choices are few.
The big message here is there is really a separation in the two markets.
State sponsored attacks are so smart that it is difficult to identify where they are coming from.
This can be executed by state actors at a country level, but not by companies. When a company
is targeted by a state that is unfair. State sponsored level of attack capability is so high and so
advanced it is often unfair when it is targeted at a company. States fight states and companies
fight companies. More videos
Greg Young presents Gartner's view of security trends
#6 Bad behaviour by security companies
With the gold rush of attacks and money there has come some bad behaviour by security
companies. Some of the security marketing that is going on is irresponsible. Some security
companies are spending more on marketing than they are making on revenue. This spending on
marketing has never been seen before, and in some case they are not security companies but
marketing companies. All security companies are competing for a narrow aperture of CIO
attention. With security in the news all the time, it can be very confusing. More videos

#7 Session encryption blinds inspection safeguards
Encryption is increasingly blinding security technology since you cannot see through encryption.
Instead of making us more secure, encryption is making us less secure, since you need to look
into it for security inspection. This is now an interesting challenge since encryption itself is
becoming into a problem with SSL vulnerabilities that cannot be monitored. More videos
Greg Young presents Gartner's view of security trends
#8 Securing the back door
Backdoor entry into products and services are built into them to allow governments to make
lawful intercepts. But threat actors are aware that products and services have this backdoor entry
for lawful intercept built into them, so they are targeting that because they know everything is
there. More videos

COMMENT
Share your views post your comment below
As business departments get frustrated with the technology people, they will leap ahead to
implement their own technology. While shadow IT is within the enterprise it is not as well
controlled by the IT organisation. Shadow IT is a great target because it often falls outside the
security management of the company. More videos

#10 New CIAS information security model
The thirty year old information security model has traditionally consisted of three corner stones
including confidentiality, availability, and integrity CIA. With increasing sophistication of threat
levels and associated damage concerns, the model now includes safety. With increasing
connectivity through IoT people can get hurt and safety has been added as a new vector. More

#11 Existing zero year threats are bigger problem than zero day
Most of the threats that are emerging everyday are based on vulnerabilities that we already
know. The number one 2014 malware is based on seven year old Windows vulnerability. The
business of ransomware grew by 113% last year. Phishing attacks are now extremely well
targeted, and are using .Doc and .Exe files. While the security vulnerability is the same in each
organisation, the exploits are different. If you patch the vulnerability you can stop the exploits.
Some of the best security practices around the world are from some of the banks using a grass
roots approach rather than top down. But this is not the case with all banks and some are
struggling. More videos
