Data protection remains a priority across organizations as industries shift toward remote operations. IoT lies at the forefront of the paradigm shift, providing organizations with the capabilities to communicate and deliver data anytime and anywhere. However, the newfound capabilities pose a new wave of cybersecurity risks, leading to zero-trust policies.
Most cybersecurity threats originate from end-point issues, with user access and privileges being a common entry point for malicious attacks. The end-point use of tablets, laptops, and mobile phones serve as potential entry points for a data breach, especially in a BYOD workplace with device management procedures.
The good news is that a trusted ecosystem is still possible under a zero-trust environment, but it involves cutting-edge technology that exceeds traditional end-point security.
Understanding the Circle of Trust
The CoT (Circle of Trust) in an IoT ecosystem refers to every user and provider authorized in the IoT process. Organizations need to keep their CoT closely monitored and protected to repel cybersecurity threats. A CoT may include a device management platform, data analysts, and third-party partners involved in data transactions.
Zero trust network protocols require verification from external and internal users, heightening security, but they feature some disadvantages.
For example, the transition between legacy systems and zero trust setups require time and complex processes. Organizations may find it more cost-effective to build a brand new system. Additionally, application management becomes more complicated with zero-trust protocols, with multiple data storage locations and platforms. Data configuration becomes a more significant challenge for IoT device managers, who deal with various properties and communication protocols.
While a zero-trust framework results in more robust security, it requires complex IoT management and additional effort to keep systems in check. The implementation of a trusted advanced infrastructure can help provide optimal protection with improved effectiveness and consistency.
Applying an Advanced Endpoint Protection System (AEP)
AEP is the next generation of endpoint security management, built from the latest advancements in machine learning and predictive behavior. Traditional endpoint security systems operate via reactive responses to known threats in a system, which leaves systems vulnerable to novel risks.
Machine-learning provides security systems with capabilities that analyze, record, and interpret user behavior trends. AEPs will trigger warnings to network managers or activate automatic responses (i.e. freezing accounts and deleting suspicious files) when picking up a perceived threat. As such, advanced endpoint security fitted with machine learning can help prevent the dangers of complicated and novel threats.
AEPs can also benefit from real-time updates from cybersecurity threat detection agencies. AEPs can receive valuable data feeds from linked agencies to provide optimal security against newly reported patterns in the case of a novel attack. The process can help users contain novel threats faster, significantly reducing the chances of exploitation.
Additionally, an AEP incorporates quantum encryption practices, which creates a hybrid security structure that retains a quantum state. IoT systems utilizing quantum encryption eliminate the risks of unauthorized access and malicious activities by alerting data recipients of breached channels. AEP infrastructures can help organizations identify hidden threats in their networks with excellent reliability, based on suspicious user behavior and unidentified signatures, eliminating the guesswork.
Cybersecurity remains vital in the modern digital world, with Gartner reporting a stance of recognizing cybersecurity as an urgent business decision. The focus will continue to grow as malicious parties turn to more sophisticated attacks and methods, with commonly reported examples such as zero-day threats and multiple coordinated tactics that bypass traditional endpoint security.
The costs of cybercrime continue to rise, but organizations can safeguard their crown jewel data by implementing a trusted AEP that goes beyond the usual offerings.
