Information security is the practice of securing information and preventing unauthorized access. Information can be both physical or electronic. Information includes data, biometrics, media profiles, etc. Therefore, information security is the process of inspecting, investigating, preventing, any type of unauthorized access and thus securing information.

Recent Trends in Information Security

Wireless security

In any type of wireless communications, information is carried by radiofrequency. Communication can be direct or indirect. Increasingly more organizations have started using wireless communication as it is easy to set up and removes some of the limitations of the wired communication structure. In this respect, it is important to secure the information in wireless communication. One of the solutions provided for such issues on wireless is encryption.

Bluetooth Technology and Security

Bluetooth is used for short-range wireless communication for transferring files. While file transfer it is possible that information might get leaked or the device might get hacked. Therefore, for security, it is needed to configure Bluetooth as non-discoverable and non-pairable and enable them to be discoverable and pairable only when required to provide access to or from other devices.

Extended Detection and Response (XDR)

With a growing number of information leakage, there is a high requirement for the security team to increase the visibility of the enterprise, endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, etc. XDR is thus set to increase security, as they can inevitably collect and gather information and compare them that enables faster threat detection and immediate response.

Security Process Automation

Lacking inexperienced security staff, all organizations are now relying on security process automation. Based on pre-established rules and procedures, security automation tools remove repetitive security operations by mechanizing them. This helps in the quick performance of security tasks effectively and efficiently with lesser errors.

Integration of AI

By detecting a huge quantity of risk data from structured and unstructured resources, AI serves in providing threat intelligence, reducing the time, and respond immediately to eradicate the threat.
