February - 20186GOVERNMENT CIO OUTLOOKEDITORIALA New Security ParadigmInsider threats continue to evolve within the government ecosystem. Alongside this, the growth of cyber threats are prompting government organizations to stay on top of technologies--from cloud and big data to AI--that will enable them to enhance the confidentiality, privacy and authentication of sensitive data and networks. While cloud has been a mainstay for most of the government organizations, a vast majority of entities still hesitate to move their critical assets to the cloud because of privacy concerns. Organizations need to overcome this and embrace solutions in attribute-based access control and tools that will facilitate better analysis and give visibility into their data.In parallel with these requirements, many security solution providers today are jumping onto the AI bandwagon in order to build smarter systems that can detect and act on security threats. These AI-based security systems are expected to become more intuitive and defensive for government organizations to accelerate the delivery of services to their citizens, improve operational efficiency, optimize costs and drive innovation in a secure environment. Along with AI, the use of identity technology is also gaining prominence in the sector as it helps improve video motion detection, facial recognition, individual tracking and suppression of false alarms. Furthermore, intrusion detection, advanced analytics, information sharing, and intrusion prevention capabilities is also carried-out on an ongoing basis to inspect all inbound and outbound network activity and analyze them for signs of possible incidents, violations, or imminent threats that are attempting to break into the business network. The evolution of vulnerabilities and security threats compounds the need for efficient security solutions and authentication methods that are scalable for the future requirements of government agencies.
