Are you ready for any vulnerability as services( AVAS), Need of the hour

Network visibility, detection and response (NVDR) – also referred to as network traffic analysis (NTA) or network analysis and visibility (NAV) – is an emerging category of threat detection and analytics tools that give security teams better insight into their network activity.Threats like phishing and ransomware will continue to keep CIOs up at night. Your own mobile phone is the next frontier in cybercrime. An expert says, tell me one thing which can't be hackable.

It is must for the growth of the organisation and the individuals to survive In the technology world. Cell phone is highly vulnerable. Techniques to infect mobile devices through apps are becoming more common. These fake and malicious apps are designed to steal data on your smartphone and even swipe any stored passwords on these devices. Additionally, social engineering through SMS text messages (known as Smishing) will continue to increase next year. If you are a business that issues company smartphones to employees, or you allow employees to bring their own device (BYOD) to work, then you will need to address this risk. The phones at the center of the dispute are an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 7 Plus. Those phones were released in 2012 and 2016, and they lack Apple’s most sophisticated software. Even iphone 8 has proved to be vulnerable by one of the company into cybersecurity based out of Israil.

As per the report, Chris Betz, a former Apple security engineer who is now the chief security officer for the technology company CenturyLink, said Apple had for years tried to design its phones in a way that even it couldn’t hack into them without the passcode.“I think the best capabilities that exist in the world to get in are those that the third-party vendors provide,” he said. “They’re well understood, there are a slew of them, they’ve been used in court recently. I can’t think of a way that Apple could get in that’s better.”

Recently, there is a new on Russians Hacked Ukrainian Gas Company at Center of Impeachment.

According to PwC report, the cyber security market in India is expected to grow from USD 1.97 billion in 2019 to USD 3.05 billion by 2022, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6%—almost one and a half times the global rate. Though many factors are contributing to this high growth rate, three factors are significantly driving the cyber security demand market in India—digital growth, increase in cyberattacks and stringent regulatory mandates. The study estimates that the market for cyber security products in India will grow at a higher rate than that for services.

Many security breaches come as a result of mistakes made by employees. They may not fully understand company requirements when it comes to securing their device. An organization’s reputation can be severely damaged if a security breach through an employee’s device leads to a leak of crucial information on your customers or business partners.There’s also mounting concern with shadow IT, where information technology is managed outside of (and without the knowledge of) the company’s IT department.

The supply chain of a hardware and software consists of the various components that make-up the solution. If malicious code infects a component within a larger trusted application, then the overall application is at risk. Compromising one part of the supply chain can infect multiple vendors. Supply chain attacks are up 78% in 2019, according to Symantec. One example of this is with Asus, a computer and phone vendor. Asus was a victim of supply chain attacks in 2018 that resulted in them providing infected computer systems to upwards of 500,00 customers.

Every organisations having even a single computer connected to internet is vulnerable and absolutely is not secure and the cell phone if it is connected to any social media, that includes Facebook, Twitter,Linkedin,WhatApp. There is no devices made by any OEM( Hardware/Software) to make 100% secure. However, certain security vendors are addressing to certain level of vulnerabilities.

The need of the hour is your company would then need to lay out huge reserve capital to defend themself against anu legal challenges. This brings a opportunity for the partner eco-system to reach out their respective customers to secure the products they have sold so far.

A question comes to all the employers, employees can leave your company for any reason. How can you be sure former employees no longer have mobile access to company applications on their way out? How easy would it be for them or someone with access to their device to get back into an app or system? Would you be able to track the device down as the source of a security breach?

Lastly, the security industry is critical to ensuring India’s prominence as a leading investment destination and the security of its major industries, and we anticipate a steady growth in this sector. Additionally, with disruptive and emerging technologies bringing in an influx of data, we believe the demand for advanced cyber security solutions will only increase.
