| Major trends expected in the cyber security sector |
Honeywell has announced expectations for new trends that will support the construction of buildings ahead of the Intersec 2020 event at the Dubai World Trade Center from January 19-21. Set up a cyber security system.
Given an average annual growth rate of 22.5% expected for the cyber security market in the Middle East between 2018 and 202, cybersecurity experts from Honeywell (China) brought ideas and ideas to life by developing smart building systems and networks. Expecting change and providing companies with the necessary advice to better protect their valuable assets and protect them from cyber attacks, their facilities increasingly rely on digitization.
In response, George Bou Mitri, vice president and general manager of Honeywell Building Technology, Middle East, Turkey and Africa, said: “Honeywell has software systems and technologies that help shape the future of Smartwell, smart cities, and the region. Buildings. Devices and data analytics implement strict cybersecurity policies to protect Operational technologies in all departments in the Middle East and around the world. "
He added: "We expect construction technologies to improve significantly in 2020. Given the growing electronic threats, the company will take decisive measures to ensure the security of technological operating systems and have the appropriate knowledge." Facing increasingly serious threats. It will have a very important place at the heart of these directions. '
Key expectations for cybersecurity in 2020:
According to a report published by Gartner, data, reputation and people face many risks due to close communication. By 2020, 81% of connected devices will be in buildings, with most regions focusing on cyber security. Therefore, offline buildings remain a less secure entry point for operating technology management.
It is expected that by 2020, since digitizing networks and linking them to networks can open new doors to cyber attacks, building smart buildings will generate more network data that often attract more data and will be used for network security. Operating technology should be the primary security measure for many companies. Potential threat.
A CEB study revealed that about 20% of IoT-dependent companies have already been exposed to at least one type of IoT-related attack, with many companies becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyber attacks and potential damage. Apply more stringent and sophisticated strategies to maintain security. We expect to take more precautions next year. For example, training focuses on combating potential cyber threats in operational technology and conducts assessments to identify weaknesses in cyber security systems.
According to the Gartner report, the demand for new types of security professionals is expected to increase due to the increasing overlap in responsibilities between operations and IT. By 2021, spending on IoT security services will double to about $ 21 billion. In general, the role of cybersecurity professionals will change with the development of cyber threats and increased cyber security requirements for operational technology. Cooperation between operational technology and information technology has had various experiences in preparing for and responding to cyber attacks. However, there may be more people specializing in operating technology. Providing information together In 2020, these employees usually begin their careers on a mission. However, over time, they will continue to develop their skills and gain a more complete security experience.
The adoption of global cyber security standards should be a top priority for all sectors, and by 2020, greater emphasis can be placed on developing standards to enhance cyber security, and we hope to help establish at least one framework as guidelines to ensure the security of operational technological systems. Used in buildings.
During Intersec 2020, Honeywell will unveil its latest solution to IoT tools and software designed to develop smarter, more efficient, and safer online cities. Healthcare, industrial, reception, basic infrastructure, and other retail and banking facilities.
