Aggressive adoption, course corrections in 2023

In this month’s edition, thirty-five top industry executives share their perspectives on innovative technologies, course corrections and action plans for 2023.

There is a new emphasis on location of people, assets, applications says Aruba HPE’s David Hughes. The focus is shifting to the location of work activity and assets, identity of people and machines, real-time applications being used and by whom or what.

The large number of IP based surveillance cameras deployed regionally are now also powerful sensors for a variety of uses cases say Johan Paulsson at Axis Communications. The focus is shifting from pure analytics to insights meant for specific use cases, telling you something is wrong, and helping you decide what action to take.

Chris Stephens at Callsign feels that security shortcomings in social media will be amplified inside the Metaverse. Everything wrong from a security perspective with social platforms will become worse in metaverse. How are people going to be protected inside the Metaverse from digital compromise? 2023 will see a new population of people who have never fallen victim to fraud before.

Deep fake technology fraud will escalate because there are few tools on the market that can stop these frauds.

Cisco’s Reem Asaad feels that 2023 will be the year of multi-cloud frameworks in the region. We will see a big move toward new multi-cloud frameworks such as Sovereign Clouds, Local Zone Clouds, Zero-Carbon Clouds, and other novel cloud offerings, she says.

John Engates and Matthew Prince at Cloudflare, feel that passwords may come to an end and FIDO Alliance passkey may become standard in 2023. Cloud platforms will add built-in compliance standards to reduce the challenges for majority of enterprises.

While the migration to cloud has provided benefits to enterprise CIOs, Greg Day at Cybereason feels the big shift to SaaS has fragmented more than a decade’s worth of work to simplify and consolidate corporate Identity and Access Management.

The accelerated cloud adoption during pandemic has now lost sight of where sensitive data lives. 73% organisations suffered at least one ransomware attack in 2022, compared with just 55% in 2021.

Security teams around the world have been working long hours from home. We should not be surprised if burnout impacts security teams’ ability to function, points out Day.

Pervez Siddiqui from Genetec points out that security professionals are looking at improving the functionalities of physical security solutions. Security leaders are reevaluating their technology stack seeking solutions that help streamline tasks, automate processes, and enhance team efficiency.
