The area of cybersecurity is facing ever greater challenges. With criminal organizations increasing the sophistication and diversity of their attacks, institutions need to have the tools to protect themselves, such as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and other innovations.
Fortunately, evolution is not one-sided.
Governments, users and information security professionals are paying close attention to the issue, seeking better solutions to cybersecurity challenges and finding good prospects.
In this article, for example, we’ve listed 5 technologies that are changing the cybersecurity landscape. Not all of them are new, but they have been used in innovative ways to tackle cybercrime.
1. Blockchain for cybersecurity challenges
Known for being the technology behind bitcoin blockchain has been seen as providing many opportunities. In the field of cybersecurity, it is still in its early stages.
But it should soon be responsible for many new developments in the sector.
Since it records all activity permanently and transparently for the entire network, the blockchain makes it possible to see when a new user tries to access files they’ve never accessed before, for example.
This can make it easier to spot anomalies, as they will be recorded in the chain’s information blocks.
2. Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity
Because of its high processing capacity, artificial intelligence has been a great ally in the search to break patterns in networks.
The speed with which they can scan the system is infinitely greater than human capacity, which helps to detect unknown events and stop them from continuing before they escalate.
This is a technology that is set to grow enormously, especially with the possibility of machines continually expanding their learning, depending less on human input.
3. Machine Learning and the development of cybersecurity
Machine learning promises to be the missing icing on the artificial intelligence cake.
With their ability to learn no longer dependent on a person, machines can quickly learn new patterns and more intuitively identify malicious changes in the network.
Although it has been in the spotlight for some time now, the concept of machine learning is nothing new. However, it is only today that it finds the technological possibilities to develop more fully and create new possibilities for various areas.
And, of course, that includes cybersecurity.

4. Cloud Computing and the Challenges of Cybersecurity
In addition to saving on investment and offering more options when it comes to scalability, cloud computing also offers more security than physical data centers.
Of course, you have to remember that at the end of the day your data will be somewhere in the world, stored in a physical space.
However, because it is a dedicated location, it will have a higher security structure than your organization can probably offer.
In addition, cloud services offer plans with automatic backups and monitor network security at all times. Even remediation, if necessary, is much quicker in the cloud.
5. Cryptography applied to cybersecurity
What if, even with all the precautions, your organization has a data leak?
In this case, encryption offers a last, important barrier of protection. Without the cryptographic key, your information remains unreadable.
This technology has changed the financial market in particular. Some examples of their use are tokens and the encryption of credit card data in online purchases. Today, even instant messaging and social networks rely on this technology.
You already know about the technologies that are changing the cybersecurity landscape, but you don’t know where to start?
When it comes to data security, the more solutions you use, the better. In fact, the various technologies guarantee more layers of protection and make the network more robust.
But if you still need to draw up an information security plan for your company from scratch, here’s where to start your strategy.
