With the increase in use of technologies like big data, data mining and data integration, data security has become a pertinent question. Breaches reports are raised day by day. Some of the factors which are of concern are mentioned here:

  • Phishing: this is not a new concept, cybercriminials use this for over a decade, they flood the IT sector with useless information so as to backchannel the information they needed.
  • Politically sponsored attacks: government led intelligence agencies attack other governments power projects, transportation and other facilities in order to create chaos.
  • Machine learning: artificial intelligence is the new way of society learning, this brings a tender touch to explicitly programmed subsets creating data packets.
  • Mobile applications: organizations emphasis on use of applications give less time to developers to check out bugs in their programmed apps which led to hackers in providing a safe way to access your device without your knowledge.
