While we hope these points have brought into focus some of the evolving challenges in IT security, we also want to point out that certain best practices will continue to underpin how smart security pros approach problems, no matter what the flavor of the month is. “Enterprises are going back to the basics: patching, inventory management, password policies compliant with recent NIST directives,” says Kayne McGladrey, IEEE Member and Director of Security and Information Technology at Pensar Development. “Enterprises are recognizing that it’s impossible to defend what can’t be seen and that the easiest wins are to keep systems up to date and to protect against credential stuffing attacks.”

While homomorphic encryption can require lots of computing power, it has a few big upsides. For one thing, according to Kayne McGladrey, IEEE Senior Member, it allows companies in highly regulated industries, such as finance or healthcare, to store data on a public cloud. “As the data remains encrypted in all phases, even a data breach of a third party will not provide a threat actor with access to encrypted data,” McGladrey said.

“The monetization and weaponization of digital threats was comparably new when the critical infrastructure components that manage our modern world were being designed for reliability a decade or two ago,” said IEEE Senior Member Kayne McGladrey. McGladrey says that it’s time consuming to patch security flaws in many of these older components, some of which were designed to run uninterrupted for decades.
