These days everyone’s talking about Millennials, the Millennial characteristics will vary by region and of course social and economic conditions. However, this generation is generally marked by an increased use and familiarity with communications, digital technologies and media.
But what will the characteristics be for the new Millennials? What about the next generation? I’m not going to tell you which generation I would be classified as but having been involved in the IT security space for the last 30 years, I do have a view on the next generation cyber threats!
Some of you out there may have some Next Generation Firewalls/UTM’s for example; these may be your first line of defence against the cyber threats. But does your solution have the required immunity to fight against evolving complex threats to your business?
Gartner suggests that by 2020, 99% of firewall breaches will be caused by simple firewall misconfigurations, add in unpatched or poorly maintained security products and the threats are even greater!
So how do you address this? Do you call your existing IT supplier? Well you could, but there is always a risk in getting those that deployed your system to review its effectiveness… best practice dedicates that you should always draft in independent testing!
Enter Cloud 24X7
