Turnaround and Transformation in Cybersecurity: Technology, Key Findings from The Global State of Information Security® Survey 2016

Technology companies are spearheading industry-spanning innovations that underpin the Internet of Things (IoT), bigger data analytics and cloud-based “everything as a service.” Ultimately, these platforms will coalesce into a globally interconnected ecosystem of data-driven technologies that will bring entirely new business opportunities and consumer conveniences. It will also very likely open new security gaps that will exacerbate the ongoing surge of cyberattacks. To address these rising risks, the technology sector is taking the lead in implementing tools such as cloud-based cybersecurity, advanced authentication and Big Data analytics.
