Survey reveals personal encryption usage is dramatically increasing
Venafi ’ s survey has revealed that personal encryption use is dramatically increasing
Fortinet has announced the industry ’ s first purpose-built NOC-SOC solution that bridges workflows , analysis and automated response across operational and security processes
enafi , a leading provider of
V machine identity protection , has announced the results of a survey querying 512 security professionals attending the RSA Conference 2018 . According to the survey , 64 % of respondents say their personal encryption usage has increased due to recent geopolitical changes . This represents a dramatic increase in encryption reliance since last year . For example , when asked the same question at the RSA Conference 2017 , just 45 % of attendees answered similarly .
Kevin Bocek , Vice President of Security Strategy and Threat Intelligence at Venafi , said : “ We ’ re entering a world where machines process and conduct transactions autonomously . As a result , it will be incredibly important to preserve privacy with the use of strong encryption . Despite the challenges this poses , it ’ s excellent news that more than half of these security professionals use encryption to protect their personal privacy .”
Venafi ’ s survey also found that security professionals are becoming more apprehensive about encryption backdoors . A total of 84 % of respondents say they are more concerned about them in 2018 than last year , compared with 73 % who expressed similar concerns at RSA 2017 . Mr Bocek said research shows that concern over encryption backdoors is growing , especially as adversaries become more sophisticated and better equipped to exploit weaknesses .
FORTINET DELIVERS INTEGRATED NOC-SOC SOLUTION TO AUTOMATE IT PROCESSES AND SECURITY RESPONSE
ortinet , a global leader in broad , integrated and
F automated cybersecurity , has announced the industry ’ s first purpose-built NOC-SOC solution that bridges workflows , analysis and automated response across operational and security processes .
The NOC-SOC approach to management enables enhanced security operations visibility with a new graphical security fabric topology view and extensions into both private and public cloud environments with dynamic policy objects .
A new security rating feature combines analytics from FortiGate , FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager with threat intelligence services from FortiGuard to provide enterprises with a quantifiable security posture . New Incident Response ( IR ) tracking capabilities allow users to automate responses across silos based either on predefined or through direct ServiceNow IT Service Management ( ITSM ) integration .
John Maddison , Senior Vice President of Products and Solutions at Fortinet , said : “ Both security and IT teams are challenged by resource constraints , yet workloads and the rate of cyberthreats continue to rise in scope and complexity .
“ As the industry faces a cyber-talent shortage and the pressure to maintain operational efficiency and security efficacy is critical for digital business , a new approach is needed that brings visibility and control into the NOC with workflow and response automation in the SOC .
“ Fortinet is introducing a customised NOC-SOC solution that bridges the gap across IT disciplines to achieve broad and automated security response .”
