The Future of Online Security in the Internet-of-Everything

The internet is an ever-expanding network that now connects more than 3.2 billion people, making it one of the most sophisticated information distribution systems in the world.

As the Internet continues to evolve, we find ourselves moving further into uncharted territories.

Our exponentially changing world is putting more people online and connecting more devices every minute—which also makes it nearly impossible to forecast exactly how many new cyber vulnerabilities are being created in the process.

And while the potential for disruptive innovation promises many exciting transformations across every sector, it also invites a large-scale surge of direct threats to our data, privacy, and literally any device that can be accessed online.

The Internet of Everything reaches beyond the Internet of Things (IoT), spanning across a system of machine-to-machine communications, people, and processes that are highly vulnerable to catastrophic events.

In such times, how do we prepare ourselves for unexpected security breaches that hold the power to shut down necessary services or render resources unattainable?

How do we defend our Internet-of-Everything against Anything-on-the-Internet?

The answer is — Cyber resilience.

Combining the fields of information security and business continuity, it stands as a scalable and adaptable defense for yet-unknown attacks or breakdowns in our ever-more-connected lives.
