Imagine a world full of possibilities, free from worry. A world where technology cannot be hijacked and code is secure by default. Such a world is accessible, creating cybersecurity that can connect businesses around the world. Building this future requires fostering cybersecurity technologies that are both intuitive and scalable. In this perfect world, developers don’t need to have deep cybersecurity knowledge, and cyber protection technologies are designed to grow with businesses.
The cyber ecosystem requires rock-solid adaptability
In recent years, attacks on the supply chain have developed. They can affect all businesses, even those that believe they are immune. When a company is part of a global supply chain, it must take care to keep it safe, not only for itself but also for the other companies they work with. This is how we become a good citizen of our digital society.
Companies in the cyber ecosystem – all together – are building this future hand in hand with their customers and partners. We cannot objectively content ourselves today with selling products. The needs and the importance of the task are so great that we must understand them and enter the era of co-construction to offer new protection capabilities. Constantly in motion, experts and researchers try to maintain the best level of protection for society.
And tomorrow, when smart cities will fully emerge and new threats will be born with them, the cyber ecosystem will be able, through its adaptability and its community ties, to create offers that respond to the evolution of cyber threats.
Means of attack never really go away
It is common knowledge that hackers carry out opportunistic attacks: anyone and any technology can be targeted. And even if a technology seems for a time neglected by hackers, we must not stop securing it. E-mail attacks are a good example: for a time, they were in sharp decline, which could suggest that mailboxes would eventually cease to serve as vectors of infection. However, they continued to be monitored and protected. And it’s a success…
Currently, 50% of threats come from malicious emails. As long as a given technology remains in use, it can be misused. The saying “prevention is better than cure” can be very useful when designing cyber protection capabilities. In the face of cyberattacks, speed and efficiency are essential.
Co-construction to build a strong, fast and efficient cyber ecosystem
Knowing cybersecurity does not make it possible to claim to know all the needs. This is why it is important to be in a process of permanent co-construction with intuitive technologies, but also scalable, capable of meeting future needs. It is no longer a question of being the best and creating “cool” technologies, but of creating effective, easy-to-use tools to secure all digital ecosystems. This is why all cybersecurity products are designed according to a multi-level approach and make use of preventive analysis. If this is circumvented, then behavioral analysis comes into play. To do this, it is important that all players share their data on a global scale to better identify malicious activities.
As we know, attacks that imitate user behavior are more difficult to prevent. To better counter them, it is a question of identifying the normal operating patterns on systems and networks in order to effectively detect abnormal behavior. This is only possible by interconnecting each other in order to obtain a complete and global mapping of threats.
The future will be made up of tens of billions of electronic devices. And human beings will almost all be citizens of the digital world. Imagine the possibilities offered by this world to come… Imagine also the dangers and let’s co-build a safer digital society.
