Today's technology is evolving rapidly and enables ever
faster changes and advances. This means that companies have to stay abreast of
the latest technology trends and keep an eye on the future in order to know
which technologies will also ensure competitiveness tomorrow. Because only
those who know the trend-setting technology trends can introduce the right
technologies for their corporate goals, which optimally complement and enable
the overarching business strategy. Therefore, one should be aware of the following
10 technology trends.
Zero Trust
Architectures
The increasing spread of cloud computing , the use of mobile
devices and the Internet of Things have dissolved the traditional network
boundaries. Hardened system perimeters alone are no longer effective at
ensuring business security in a world of increasingly sophisticated threats.
Zero Trust is an approach to the architecture of an IT environment that can
reduce a company's risk in a world without a perimeter.
A traditional perimeter network security approach focuses on
keeping attackers off the network, but it is vulnerable to users and devices on
the network. A zero expectation architecture treats all users as potential pressures
and averts access to data and resources until the user can be properly authenticated
and access authorized. Essentially, a zero trust architecture gives a user full
access, but only to what is absolutely necessary to do their job. If a device
is co-operated, zero trust can ensure that the damage is contained.
The concept of zero trust has been round for more than a
decade, but the technology that supports it is now a focus of businesses. A
zero trust architecture relies heavily on components and functions for identity
management, asset management, application authentication, network segmentation
and threat analysis. The zero trust architecture improves cybersecurity without
compromising the user experience.
Blockchain
While blockchain expertise has been around for a limited
years, developments using this technology have largely been limited to the
cryptocurrency use case. While blockchain is undoubtedly the basis of
cryptocurrency, this technology enables a multitude of new use cases in a wide
variety of areas. Blockchain is an ideal technology wherever the security and
immutability of data are essential, where secure data exchange is required. The
advantages of blockchain technology are undisputed in the lack of an
intermediary, in data that cannot be changed without a passkey, in transparency
for all parties and in smooth transactions almost in real time.
Blockchain technology has the latent to provide a protected
and scalable framework for communication between IoT (Internet of Things)
devices. Blockchain is more resistant to cyber attacks than existing IoT
security solutions and enables intelligent devices to carry out automated
microtransactions quickly and inexpensively. With the help of intelligent
contract mechanisms, IoT devices will facilitate the transfer of money and data
in the future.
