What Technology is Being Implemented to Improve Cyber Security?

            The cautions and dangers that come along with the use of the internet are clear to most internet users. These users are constantly wondering and thinking of what different things they can do to assure that their internet safety is taken care of. Thankfully, many companies automatically take care of these things, leaving the user to live freely knowing that their information is safer than not. However, the question “What is currently being done to improve current internet security systems” remains. 

 

            There are several reasons why an individual may want to stay on top of what is going on in the cyber security world. ECPI University does a great job of explaining the importance here: 

 

“As digitization accelerates, it’s important that you keep up with technological advancement. It’s also important to stay on top of technological advancement because:

 

We are in a digital world: One of the obvious reasons why you should keep up with cybersecurity technology is because most of the business world is now digital. Technology is always changing and you need to know the current technology to counter cyberattacks.

 

To become relevant: Becoming irrelevant as a cybersecurity professional is a death sentence to your career. You should know the new technology that is being used to enhance security in businesses. In case of a breach, your customers can lose faith in you pretty quickly.”

 

Some systems and advancements that are currently taking place include:

-        Cloud Technology: Firewalls, intrusion detection, prevention systems

-        Hardware/Software Authentication: 2FA, etc.

-        User Behavior analyses
