It is Time to Overcome CyberSecurity Breaches by Following a New Approach

Gone are those days when stolen data and IT security breaches were rampant. Hackers were enjoying a gala time, and companies were spending a fortune to safeguard the systems from unwanted access and loss.

It looks like fiction if you pick some old issue of Electronic Security Magazine of a few years back.

How did the change happen? Is there no risk today? Is every system foolproof and free from risks? Well, it isn’t, and it can’t be. No security system can be claimed unbreakable.

Those who want to breach security are always searching for better and faster methods. Hence, those who want to keep the system safe need to be updated about the latest techniques.

Still, a long way to go for total cybersecurity

Indeed, there has been tremendous development in the past two decades. However, you can see articles related to a data breach or IT security breakage in every second Security Industry Magazine.

Where is the gap? Why are companies repeating the mistakes?

Experts say that the time has come when the industry has to adopt an entirely new mindset as far as data and network security is concerned. Instead of using the old ways, the experts are required to think beyond the hackers.

If one looks at the data security, then the majority of security thinking has been restricted to network security.  It leaves many doors wide open. In the modern situation, the corporate network spreads across corporate locations; the data centers, private and public clouds and so on.

The data is distributed amongst not just employees but devices and third-party systems.

Hence, the controlling mechanism has to be revamped and data security should be at the forefront. The best approach is to build a security strategy beyond the infrastructure and to secure the data.
