Data Security Trends to Look Forward to in 2018

Data Security Trends to Look Forward to in 2018 Given the rapid advancements in the world of IT and networking infrastructure, data security is gaining a higher priority. Here, we are going to discuss a few top trends which are expected to rule the world of data security in the year 2018.

 Prioritise the Cloud­First IT Strategies: Many business enterprises are changing their existing systems running with the help of traditional networking and data security mechanisms into the cloud system. Given so many benefits, it is no wonder that the cloud­first IT strategies would get more priority in the coming year. To name a few, cloud

systems let you reduce the cost overhead of the business, enhance the scalability, anywhere access and the ease of use. However, apart from migrating the existing system into cloud system and integrating the rest of the IT infrastructure to it, there are things like cloud security, data protection and compliance factors. These things should be given a proper attention.  The Importance of Compliance: The business house is not relieved of its compliance responsibilities just because it is a client of the service provider and stores, uses or processes the data. Both the USA and the EU governments are going to implement the modified rules in this regard in the coming year of 2018.

As per the USA government decision, from 31 st December 2017 onwards, NIST Special Publication 800­171 will regulate the controlled unclassified information (CUI) in organisations and the non­federal information systems. The much anticipated GDPR or the General Data Protection Regulation would ensure that the global organisations which deal with the information handling relating to the European citizens should fully understand what sort of data they have, the place where it is stored and the institution responsible for them.  Quantum Cryptography: Since the inception of the quantum computing, it has been anticipated as a potential threat to the security of data. This is so because the malignant users might decrypt the encrypted codes leveraging the methods of the quantum mechanics.

This is a major threat to the future quantum revolution in the IT world.

One must rely upon quantum encryption methods to seal the weak points of the quantum computing.  Stronger Authentication: The passwords no longer guarantee the safety of data. They might be compromised anytime. In the past year, the search engine bigwig like Yahoo has reported a compromise of around 3 billion passwords. Well, the world is living up to the challenge with the help of multi­factor authentication. Particularly in the financial sector, the PSD2 (revised Directive on the Payment Services) regulations will make for a stronger customer authentication a necessary thing.  Open Source: There has been a complex debate running among the top­notch data security experts, whether or not the proprietary codes are better in the matters of cyber security or the open source codes are better. As too many eyes could keep a watch on the flaws/loopholes of the open source codes, it scores better in the matters of the cyber security.

The providers for data security solutions are keeping keen eyes on the advancements and the coming year will be an interesting trendsetter for the

domains that are going through the phases of development.
