Cyberattacks have evolved to the point where they are among the greatest threats to personal, private and national security. This problem has its roots in profound decisions made about device architecture decades ago. It’s safe to say that when the earliest data servers were being introduced, no one could have imagined how rapidly societies would migrate to digital environments and cloud computing. Brick-and-mortar businesses have been supplemented by or even outright replaced by 24/7 online storefronts, and access to them has expanded from desktop PCs to mobile devices, driving convenience for customers, profit for businesses and efficiency for both.
The Struggle To Keep Up With Cyber Threats
Driven by the ever-increasing demand for bigger and better data centers, server designers and engineers focused on features and performance above all else, effectively treating security as an afterthought. This oversight created inherent security holes in the architecture that later needed to be addressed. Patching these holes with third-party software was often counted on as the most viable security solution, and it remains the go-to tool for many organizations. But professionals in the cybersecurity industry feel that software isn’t the answer, as solving its shortcomings appears insurmountable.
The cybersecurity industry has spent billions of dollars seeking dependable tools to lock out criminals. Whether it’s security companies, chip manufacturers, in-house cybersecurity units or government agencies, experts have failed to consistently address cybercrime. The evidence is undeniable: thousands of data breaches each day, billions of dollars lost every year, more-frightening ransomware attacks with greater frequency and deepening threats as bad actors increasingly ramp up cybercrime into the realm of cyberwarfare.
For years, cybersecurity has deployed software patches and hardware fixes that have turned out to be far from adequate. In many ways, these band-aid solutions have driven the industry to search more intensely for an ironclad option.
