\u201cThe only constant in life is change.\u201d I\u2019m very sure that when Heraclitus said this, he was not referring to the ever-changing cyber security<\/a> landscape. But had he been, he would have been spot on. In the rapidly evolving technological realm of cyber security, the conventional approach to addressing cyber security threats that businesses face is no longer sufficient.<\/p>\n With the increased reliance upon technology to help businesses meet their internal and external goals, there is a necessity for a more robust and adaptive approach towards cyber security.<\/p>\n According to a recent survey by Alludo – in partnership with Qualtrics, featuring nearly 500 IT professionals, eight out of ten respondents stated that security is a top priority. Even still, with this increased importance placed upon cyber security, there were more than 79 million breached records in August alone<\/a>.<\/p>\n It’s clear to see that the desire is there from companies to attack cyber security threats head-on, yet still, it wouldn\u2019t be out of the ordinary to wonder why many cyber security breaches take place.<\/p>\n From cloud computing to Artificial Intelligence<\/a>, the recent developments made in technology have led businesses from numerous sectors to implement new technologies to improve all aspects of business operations and customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n However, whilst doing this, reaping the benefits and capabilities of these technological advancements, they also at times inadvertently leave themselves exposed to cyber security threats.<\/p>\n An increased demand from both customers and employees for a more contactless on-demand experience has led businesses to invest in technology to meet both parties’ desires. At an ever-growing rate, cloud computing is being adopted to make data more readily available when customers and employees desire it.<\/p>\n 41.4% of IT leaders reported that they were increasing their use of the cloud<\/a>. A further 32.8% announced they were migrating on-premises workloads to the cloud<\/a>.<\/p>\n This sudden shift to the cloud has undeniably improved operations for businesses from a productivity, flexibility, and collaborative standpoint.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, it has also left behind traditional security enterprise controls, rooted in the firewall-centric approach, making it increasingly more apparent that such and often used cyber security approaches can\u2019t keep up with the new dynamic landscape.<\/p>\nTechnology is evolving faster than ever before<\/h3>\n
