3 technology trends that are already revolutionizing 2021
The Covid-19 pandemic has shaken the industry and has forced many people to adapt to a new reality, whether it be to through remote work, The company's products and services are designed to provide more complete security or the automation of certain workplaces.
With 2021 well on its way, the first quarter is coming to a close and it's time to look at 3 key areas, in terms of trends and technological advances that are demonstrating their true potential.
1. Cybersecurity, a key factor for companies in 2021.
Hackers have taken advantage of the pandemic to spread their attacks around the world. A 238% increase in attacks against banks and a whopping 600% increase in attacks on cloud servers and a 220% of phishing attempts between January and April 2020 should not be taken lightly (Source: Fintech News).
Cybersecurity meshes (“Cybersecurity Mesh”) are probably proving to be the big solution to these problems, helping to define the security perimeter around identities and centralize policy orchestration and enforcement better than today's more cluttered systems.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are also becoming important in areas such as intrusion detection, security identities and intrusion management. Fortinet, Cisco, Splunk and IBM are already working on new solutions to address precisely the problems we have seen throughout 2020.
Another important safety feature is the protection, response and repair of endpoints. Most companies are using legacy antivirus solutions that once did their job, but with the sophistication and proliferation of today's cybercrime, companies need a new standard of corporate security.
Real-time endpoint protection includes several patented artificial intelligence algorithms that protect against the widest range of threat vectors. On-device AI prevents known and unknown threats in real time. Devices defend and correct themselves by stopping processes, quarantining, remediating and even canceling events to keep endpoints in a perpetually secure state.
2. The cloud trend continues in 2021: hybrid and distributed cloud.
Now more than ever, the cloud is a combination of SaaS applications and on-premises solutions, public and private clouds, and is here to meet the challenges of exponential data growth, dealing with variable workloads and decentralized business. The disruption caused by the pandemic has highlighted that having an agile and adaptable infrastructure allows companies to better cope with uncertainty. Nutanix, AWS, Google, Azure, IBM and Oracle have made significant investments, and the distributed cloud, where services are distributed to different physical locations but their operation remains the responsibility of the public cloud provider, will help reduce data and latency costs.
3. Analysis and hyper-automation: everything can be analyzed and automated.
While many organizations are supported by a patchwork of technologies, they will need to optimize their processes to become more efficient and agile. The AI proliferation in our lives triggered by the pandemic will enable this to happen, starting with better analytics and cleaner data sets for use in Business Intelligence.
This, in turn, will offer the possibility of lean automation of common tasks, allowing the workforce to focus on the essentials. Artificial intelligence engineering will also help save time and costs, providing a clearer path to value when multiple techniques are combined. This, combined with the fact that AI is becoming democratized and is already being used in data processing, facial recognition or customer service thanks to the power of the cloud, is seeing huge growth in 2021.
Many other technologies will continue to be developed in the coming years, including, 5G, Internet of Behaviors, privacy-enhancing information technology, blockchain, We at Zemsania are eager to see how they evolve.
