Cybersecurity Hindsight And A Look Ahead At 2015 Here are five of the most prominent cybersecurity market trends that authors Yoav Leitersdorf and Ofer Schreiber, partners at YL Ventures, believe will define the sector next year: The Rise of Automated Incident Response Today, enterprises must not only detect and prevent potential threats; they must also be prepared to react quickly when breaches occur. Enterprises like Target are successfully being sued by banks for failing to act on security alerts. One of the clear lessons from Target’s attack is that the traditional Incident Response process, which is mostly based on manual processes, is broken. Reducing the time from detection to remediation could dramatically minimize an attack’s damage. That’s where Automated Incident Response solutions come in – they don’t leave alerts unhandled, and can react instantly (much faster than humans) when bad scenarios unfold. Expect chief information security officers (“CISOs”) to turn to Automated Incident Response solutions in 2015. Cloud Security Becomes a Shared Responsibility Enterprise IT departments are generally behind in keeping the cloud secure, heavily relying on security features provided by cloud vendors. In 2014, many CIOs and CISOs have realized that maintaining enterprise-grade security in cloud application usage is a shared responsibility, and we expect that in 2015 they will act on that. Advanced Persistent Threats Surge In 2015, cybersecurity departments should be particularly careful about advanced persistent threats (APTs). Credit card numbers will still be valuable to hackers throughout 2015 because the deadline for retailers to upgrade to point-of-sale systems capable of processing chip-and-PIN credit cards is not until October 2015, and we foresee this deadline being extended. “Cloud-first” detection solutions that leverage multiple sources of threat intelligence (for example: botnet interception + log analysis + sandboxing) and are easy for...
