“There are many trends out there, such as artificial intelligence and blockchain. However, we believe there are three major trends that will significantly impact the cybersecurity landscape,” explained Raekos.
“Firstly, data protection, which will be a major issue for small and large companies as this will push them to be compliant with regulations or face the consequences of data breaches.
“The second trend is the rise of cloud service providers. The establishment of local data centres by global cloud providers here in the Middle East will drive the next wave of cloud migrations as enterprise decision-makers feel more secure hosting their assets in the cloud. Lastly, the imminent roll out of 5G networks, which will drive the number of IoT devices that will bring both benefits and security risks for enterprises.”

To be effective in cybersecurity requires multiple layers of protection as well as human intelligence.
