: This involved using decoys, honeypots, and "honeytraps" . By creating a false digital reality, security teams could mislead attackers, disrupt their automated tools, and detect breaches with high confidence.
: As businesses migrated to SaaS and public clouds, CASBs provided a central point of control to maintain visibility and security policies across multiple cloud services. Emerging Cyber-Security Technologies in 2017
: AI began to play a critical role in analyzing massive datasets to predict potential threats and automate responses that were previously handled manually. Startups like buguroo leveraged deep learning for real-time fraud monitoring. : This involved using decoys, honeypots, and "honeytraps"
The following technologies gained significant momentum as organizations sought to reduce their "attack surface" and improve incident response times: : AI began to play a critical role
: These solutions augmented traditional antivirus by continuously monitoring endpoints (laptops, mobile devices) for unusual behavior. Experts predicted that by 2020, 80% of large enterprises would adopt EDR to catch advanced threats that bypass standard firewalls.
: This technology allowed organizations to hide sensitive resources from public discovery. By using a trust broker, access was restricted only to specified participants, significantly reducing the external attack surface. Key Trends and Solutions
