We asked experts how they see their field now and what changes they see, challenges and trends that suggest a little insight into the future. We have already asked Viktor Urbán, a fintech and blockchain expert, about what the money will look like in 2050. This time, however, we were wondering what cybersecurity challenges we could expect in a corporate environment in 2050, but before that, we looked at what the situation is today. Our questions were answered by Balogh Turul, Cyber Security Expert (ITBN) and Data Protection Officer
Computerworld: What is the biggest security challenge for a CIO today, within a corporate culture?
Balogh Turul: In my opinion, one of the biggest challenges of an IT manager right now is to continuously raise the organization and maturity of information data assets covering the entire corporate ecosystem (including processes and cultural practices) and, of course, all of these. safety as well. It can be seen that the internal operating environment has become increasingly complex, with huge infrastructures emerging in recent decades that depend on countless suppliers that can hardly be accessed strategically for fear of collapsing the IT legacy of our predecessors.
rather, the lifestyle approach in the field of IT development and operation needs to be localized and this approach needs to be taught to all users, as there are countless internal customers in company life who have (business) goals. To achieve these, they are assigned a variety of solutions (including cloud) that need to be not only started, but also monitored for the rest of their lives, such as authorization management, vulnerability patching, and log evaluation.
Computerworld: What new cyber security challenges can we expect in a corporate environment in 2050? What can the future hold?
Balogh Turul: In the world of information technology and security, 2-3 years of looking ahead is also a big challenge – let’s just take into account the current chip shortage, the attack on supply chains, which have numerous aspects – but let’s see what is perpetual and yet envelopable?
Looking back a bit, while a few decades ago a password was enough to access our computer, a system, now in 2021, sometimes even two-step authentication seems little to protect our secrets. The background to this is, among other things, that the more we explore our lives for the world, the more unique, credible, and deeper evidence we need to provide about ourselves when it comes to identification. While attacks are expected to become more sophisticated, more and more (cyber) secrets will be created and stored in global supply chains. This range of information includes all confidential data that we “feared” from others.
I see the challenge in the fact that standard cat-and-mouse cybergame can rise to ever higher, automated levels (if there are enough computing resources for background and technological progress will keep this pace.) The security side must respond to this.
I could write a message that IT and security experts need to learn to come together, talk honestly about what happened, about incidents, and there are more and more forces behind the attacks, which is why we need to act as an industry unit, even from time to time. Information Security Incident Manager and Team “to prepare the appropriate cyber security cooperation.
