WiFi and other network connected sensors in autonomous vehicles and appliances have introduced a rapidly evolving set of security requirements. While attacks on consumer IoT are prevalent, the possibility of disruption in manufacturing and similar industries makes the threat all the more serious. There are three issues at play: the increasing network connectivity to edge computing; the difficulty in securing devices as more compute moves out to the edge, as they do in remote facilities and IoT devices, and the exponential number of devices connecting to the cloud for updates and maintenance.Organizations will need to move from visibility to control where the IT and OT networks converge to protect against these deliberate, targeted attacks on IIoT systems. Cybersecurity professionals know that specific attacks will change and evolve, but the themes remain the same: sensitive data is an attractive target for attackers. Threat actors, malware authors, the "bad guys"--call them what you will--keep inventing new methods to bypass protection systems devised by the cybersecurity industry. Attackers and security analysts expend efforts in a continuous cycle of breach, react, and circumvent--a true game of cat-and-mouse.We need to escape this game; by taking a step back every year to examine trends and motivations, we're able to see the overall forest among the millions of trees.The way to gain control is through behavioural modelling of users or, more specifically, their digital identities. Understanding how a user acts on the network and within applications can identify anomalies, bring about understanding of intent, and gain trust. Behaviour might be deemed low risk or high risk, or undetermined. Deeper understanding of behaviour means we can be stronger in our determination of trust and risk. Instead of making a black-and-white decision like traditional security approaches, the cybersecurity response now and in the future can adapt as risk changes, without introducing business friction, allowing us to stop the bad and free the good.This edition is aimed at injecting readers with insights from industry leaders and key disruptors to bring out a comprehensive picture of the Forcepoint arena and the recent developments in this field.Let us know your thoughts.The Evolving Industry of Cyber SecurityEditorialRussell Thomas Managing Editor russell@enterprisesecuritymag.com*Some of the Insights are based on the interviews with respective CIOs and CXOs to our editorial staff*We are publishing this edition as an Independent production of Enterprise Security and we are in no way associated with Forcepoint.Ava Garcia
