Rise of a Secure Browser
As more work is completed through the browser and data breaches increasingly originate from browser vulnerabilities, security this gateway to the digital world is now non-negotiable. We are no longer living in an era where employees access business applications solely through desktops that are set up in an office. With the proliferation of remote work, bring your own device, and the ever-growing reliance on cloud services, it is more important than ever that organizations provide workers with safe and secure access to the digital tools required to get their work done, regardless of the location, device, or application. Secure browsers not only protect against attacks but also prevent accidental and intentional leakage of sensitive data, yet could be as easy to use as consumer browsers. As this technology becomes more adopted, it will fundamentally reshape how organizations approach their browser security, marking the beginning of a new era in secure digital transformation.
Investing in Smart and Secure Infrastructure Technology
We also expect that organizations will invest in modernized and secure systems, especially as nation-state attacks on critical infrastructure increase. This effort goes way beyond replacing outdated technology and focuses on deploying innovative technologies while also securing both legacy and new infrastructure to help meet the needs of a large, digitally connected world. Governments and organizations are also prioritizing investments in 5G technology to enable smart cities. These advancements will drive innovation in transportation, public, and energy services, supporting the transition to smarter infrastructure.
AI in Security Allows Organizations to Chip Away at Cybersecurity Skills Gaps
As cyber threats become much more sophisticated, the demand for skilled and professional cybersecurity professionals continues to outpace the supply. However, there are bright skies ahead as AI-powered copilots fill in the gaps as intelligent assistants designed to support cybersecurity professionals in their daily tasks.
