Paul Kivikink, vice president of product and alliances at Comcast Technology Solutions, DataBee, says assessing cybersecurity risks presented by third parties presents an ongoing effort. “Thankfully, in most enterprise organizations, assessing the security hygiene of a third party has become standard practice and part of doing normal business. Where this needs to evolve is moving from assessing a third party’s risk at a single point in time to a more continuous model to managing risk.  There’s no doubt this is a hard problem, and there are more automated technologies that are bridging this gap.  But as we’ve seen in many breaches, the additional human element of managing risks from contractors, partners and vendors continues to be a multi-faced challenge for many organizations,” Kivikink says.

As we look ahead at the biggest trends that will be driving the tech industry this year, AI is near if not at the top of the list (although not everyone believes generative AI will disrupt IT). Since data is the fuel that powers AI, it's small wonder that AI plays a role in many of the data analytics and data management predictions for 2024. ITPro Today explores the trends IT leaders and industry insiders are predicting will have a major impact in the data analytics and data management space in 2024. Check out their data predictions here, as well as the following 2024 predictions.

With so much data and so many security tools, it’s no wonder that organizations are turning to decentralizing their data in their SIEM solutions. A security incident and event management (SIEM) solution is the centerpiece for many organizations’ security operations centers (SOCs) -- at least, for those that haven’t recently updated their data transformation strategies. It’s the central tool that SOCs use to address questions related to threats and their security posture. Read the full article here.

From the changing role of the CISO to AI's impact on IT security, IT leaders and industry insiders share their cybersecurity trends and predictions for 2024.

As organizations add more cybersecurity solutions to their toolboxes, they also increase the amount of data they must oversee. These tools produce massive amounts of data in different formats. That's led to compartmentalized data that is expensive to store, analyze, and access quickly. It also fosters a risky knowledge divide that can make it difficult for security personnel to detect threats. Click here to read the full article.

Proper data integration, modeling, and maintenance make up the unglamorous but necessary foundation for high-impact analytics and AI applications. Without it, data is too hard to access and, even if can be analyzed, will deliver inaccurate results. When global technology company Lenovo started utilizing data analytics, they helped identify a new market niche for its gaming laptops, and powered remote diagnostics so their customers got the most from their servers and other devices.   Comcast is using data analytics to reduce the cost, and improve the efficacy of, its 10P byte of security data to better understand attacks, respond more effectively, and improve its ability to predict future threats.     And at First Commerce Bank, EVP and COO Gregory Garcia hopes to leverage unified, real-time data to monitor risks such as worsening vacancy rates that could make it harder for commercial property owners to pay their mortgages. But reaching all these goals, as well as using enterprise data for generative AI to streamline the business and develop new services, requires a proper foundation. That hard, ongoing work includes integrating siloed data, modeling, and understanding it, as well as maintaining and securing it over time. Click here to read the full article.

Managing security data at scale has been the dream of most security leaders. Attempts at making this dream come true have involved investing in security information and event management (SIEM) solutions to collect and analyze log and event data, deploying security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) solutions, or running AI/ML algorithms on top of data to try to develop answers and respond to key security or compliance questions faster. But alas… the siloed security data created by the tools commonly found in a security operations center (SOC) remains difficult to wrangle and extract meaningful insights from. If only something could be done to truly integrate and clean up all that security data. A security data lake is a big step in this direction. In this article, Comcast Technology Solutions' DataBee business leader Nicole Bucala outlines specific steps security leaders can take to improve the quality of an organization’s underlying data set and develop a better strategy for managing security data at scale.

Evolving technological advancements have created a far more data-centric world. This has dramatically changed the enterprise landscape, while also creating more data silos. The explosion of cybersecurity tools and mounds of data in modern enterprises have made it difficult to combine data to create a unified view. This has resulted in siloed data that’s also costly to store, analyze, and quickly present. In addition, it creates a dangerous division of knowledge that can prevent security teams from spotting threats. Click here to read the full article.

The importance of women in engineering (beyond #WomeninEngineeringDay), particularly in the field of cybersecurity, cannot be overstated. Diversity and inclusion are essential for driving innovation, fostering creativity, and solving complex problems effectively. In the traditionally male-dominated field of engineering, women bring unique perspectives, experiences, and skills that enrich the industry and contribute to its advancement. By encouraging and supporting more women to pursue careers in engineering, we can tap into a vast talent pool and bridge the gender gap that has persisted for far too long.

Comcast likes its internally-developed cybersecurity data fabric so much that it thinks other Fortune 500 companies will want to use it too. So, it’s teamed with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Snowflake to get the hosting, storage and compute power it needs to transform the fabric into a commercial offering, which it calls DataBee®.
