2021 forward looking Research Report on network security

Despite the increasingly severe risk environment, digital transformation and migration to the cloud are still the top priorities of customers. The flow of data within the enterprise can not only improve efficiency, but also promote new ways of value creation, connect all business lines and enrich customer experience. Our survey data highlights the characteristics of data migration - 94% of the CFOs surveyed said they were considering migrating their financial system or enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to the cloud.

Insight into complexity

At present, we live in a world where networks are everywhere, in which the digital transformation continues to accelerate and telecommuting is becoming more and more popular. Scientific and technological innovation and its driven innovation Shanghai New Culture Media Group Co.Ltd(300336) seem to have far exceeded our ability to recognize, measure and deal with these multiplied risks.

Current situation

At present, in order to maintain competitiveness, enterprises adopt a series of information technology initiatives such as integrating self built infrastructure and hybrid IT architecture, and cooperating with third-party cloud providers. These complex integrated environments require new forms of management that are different from the traditional internal IT architecture. Most CIOs and CIOs interviewed (41%) said that how to transform and understand the increasingly complex hybrid ecosystem is the biggest challenge they face.

Covid-19 epidemic not only caused market pressure, but also announced the arrival of the era of telecommuting. Both large and small enterprises are rapidly changing their working environment, followed by a significant increase in the scope of network attacks, but enterprises often have little or no time to consider security issues. No surprise, attacks occur frequently. 69% of respondents said that during the period from early 2020 to may 2021, the threat to their enterprises increased or significantly increased, as did all industries and regions. Among the global chief executives interviewed, 32% said that operation interruption was the biggest impact, Followed by intellectual property theft (22%) and stock price decline (19%). Continuous verification and never credulous. When asked about the biggest obstacle to managing enterprise network security, respondents ranked data management across complex boundaries first (44%), followed by better prioritizing enterprise network risk (31%). Fortunately, zero trust scheme is now deployed Zerotrust is already feasible. It uses real-time access decision based on continuous risk assessment to replace simple entity verification. In the implementation process, it is an effective response to the fuzzy network boundary of today's network ecosystem. It believes that each component in the architecture has weaknesses and each layer of equipment needs to be protected.

Thanks to the recent improvement of computing power, the emergence of zero trust architecture in enterprises and the extensive cultural changes adopted in enterprises reveal how the role of network security has changed and how its importance has increased. Zero trust is not only a kind of technical repair, but also a set of intertwined solutions that understand hostile activities and related business risks, and change to reduce risks. This insight requires coordination between IT departments and business departments, as well as security awareness promotion and training throughout the enterprise.
