The future of cybersecurity according to ManageEngine: Threats, trends, and solutions

By Praveen Das Haridas, regional technical head, ManageEngine

Our digital landscape is changing rapidly. We are increasingly active online,
working remotely frequently, and relying more on cloud services. This poses
numerous challenges for organizations, making cybersecurity a top priority. As
new threats arise constantly, organizations globally must focus on safeguarding
their systems, data, and users. In the run-up to Cybersec Netherlands on Nov. 6
and 7, it is important to not only identify current risks but also guard against what
is to come.

Pressing cybersecurity threats
The past few years have shown us that cyberattacks are becoming increasingly
sophisticated. Ransomware, phishing, and social engineering are not new but
remain highly effective and widespread. What makes these threats even more
dangerous is the human factor. Cyber criminals are focusing more than ever on
deceiving individuals, which means that even the most advanced technological
defenses can become vulnerable if humans make a mistake.
An educated employee is as crucial as a robust firewall because people are
frequently the most vulnerable point in a security system. That’s why the
emphasis is not solely on technology but also on awareness and education.

Key trends in cybersecurity

AI is like a double-edged sword. Hackers are actively using AI to automate and
escalate cyberattacks such as malware distribution, phishing, and brute-force
attacks. However, the rise of AI and automation also offers hope. Indeed, more
and more organizations are deploying AI to detect and even predict cyber threats
in real time. This enables them to respond quickly and stop attacks before serious
damage occurs. Machine learning helps organizations recognize patterns in
cyberattacks and distinguish real threats from false alarms, making security
teams more efficient.

Organizations are also transitioning to the Zero Trust security model. Rejecting
the assumption that everything within a network is secure, the Zero Trust model
operates on the assumption that no one, whether inside or outside the
organization, can be trusted by default. Each access request is thoroughly
validated and verified. This shift is gaining significance due to the prevalence of
remote work and cloud-based services.

How ManageEngine addresses cybersecurity challenges
At ManageEngine, we incorporate AI and machine learning into our solutions to
identify threats faster and relieve teams of routine tasks. Furthermore, our
company advocates for the adoption of the Zero Trust model so that other
organizations can strengthen their security without sacrificing the agility of their
business processes.

But technology is only one side of the story. Threats in supply chains are
increasing as hackers attempt to infiltrate organizations through third parties.
Enhancing the security of supply chains is becoming more difficult, and
organizations need to ensure that their partners adhere to the same rigorous
security protocols as they do.

This is one of the reasons why events like Cybersec Netherlands are invaluable.
Cybersecurity maturity is not a destination; it’s a journey where many
organizations collaborate with each other by exchanging best practices, ideas,
and the latest innovations in cybersecurity.

The importance of events like Cybersec Netherlands
Cybersec Netherlands provides a unique opportunity for experts, vendors, and
professionals to come together and discuss solutions to rapidly changing
cybert hreats. It is a platform where knowledge sharing is central and new
partnerships can arise to meet the challenges of the future.
At ManageEngine, we are firm believers in the power of proactive teamwork and
ongoing creativity as essential elements of a secure digital future. Our goal is to
equip organizations with the necessary information and resources to not just
react to threats but anticipate and prevent them. Working hand in hand with our
partners and customers, we are dedicated to enhancing the safety of the digital
realm.

The upcoming Cybersec Netherlands trade show is an opportunity to build on
that mission. We look forward to sharing our insights, learning from others, and
working together to build the future of cybersecurity.
