| | AUGUST 20176CIOReviewMuch has been spoken about the recent WannaCry fiasco. Schools, hospitals, and even some federal institutions fell victim to the massive ransomware attack that spread across 150 countries. The incident was a wake-up call for many businesses around the world; enterprises have come to learn that no matter how safe they think their security strategies are, vulnerabilities come in a variety of ways. For many, the importance of keeping enterprise software up to date has propelled the trend of automated patch management.Tools for automated patch management are gaining mainstream attraction, and more small players are entering the scene breaking the hurdles of affordability. Community-aided open source forums help the case, as the software developed by these parties are resilient, making updates almost immediately available after an attack, and is supported by an army of active programmers.What can help the situation better is a more proactive approach to enterprise security itself. Removing the human element of procrastination and ignorance will make the approaches infallible. "Threat hunting" is the new buzzword that has caught the attention of vendors and buyers alike in this space. Experts believe that 2017 will be the year for "hunt analysis," where machine learning, cognitive technology, and AI together will put defenders a step ahead of cybercrime perpetrators.By 2020, one million new devices will go online every hour, as predicted by IDC; this means thousands of equipment manufacturers and hundreds of firmware being added to the widely distributed network spectrum on a day-to-day basis. To keep the risk of exposure to the increasing surface area in check, OEMs of IoT devices will have to make their devices more easily deployable by embedding security during production to enable integrated "layered defense."Along with the hardware manufacturers, several solution providers are paving the leeway for businesses to fit a robust enterprise security strategy into their organizational value chain and procure a return on their investments.
