“ SECURITY IS VERY MUCH WOVEN INTO THE FABRIC OF OUR STRATEGY ; IT RECEIVES COMMITMENT FROM THE TOP DOWN ”
MICHAEL WOODSON DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION SECURITY AND PRIVACY , SONESTA
“ Partners will be key to this going forward ; as we adopt things like platformcomputing , infrastructure-as-a-service and various cloud technologies , vendor management relationships will be very important . Third-party risk is going to be a key attribute that the industry will need to manage better – as well as fourth and fifth-party risk , as these dependencies can indirectly affect your security .”
Another key trend to keep an eye on will be prevention methods , as Woodson believes that “ awareness of the human aspect of security will play a major role .” “ It will be important to make sure that , with a growing remote and hybrid workforce , organisations start to look at their threat landscape differently . With these new ways of working , the perimeter is no longer confined to the walls of your building – workers can now be anywhere . It will be important for organisations to have visibility , as well as the ability to discover , build , understand and utilise what is coming onto the network and how they are using the data .”
