Delhi, India, 12th January 2022: With the advancement in automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) across economic sectors in India — the growth of malware, ransomware, and breaches is on the rise. The recent Dell Technologies 2021 Global Data Protection Index highlights that 70% of respondents in India believe emerging technologies—such as cloud-native applications, Kubernetes containers, AI, and machine learning pose a risk to data protection, and the lack of data protection solutions for newer technologies is one of the top three data protection challenges for organizations.

Data Protection in 2022

In 2022, organizations must continue to invest in compliance and data sovereignty. More companies must level up with the requirements of GDPR, which especially expects organizations to integrate the latest encryption technologies to safeguard consumers’ data and to minimize the hazards associated with data transfers. As per senior officials, during the 14th Hacking and Cybersecurity Briefing in Nov 2021, cyber-crimes have gone up by almost 500% in India during the last two years. With data gradually transcending into the open domain, and employees working from multiple locations and devices, sensitive information is susceptible to security vulnerabilities. Therefore, companies must look forward to making the IT framework more secure and reliable in 2022. Most importantly we are seeing new efforts such as the Open Secure Software Foundation in the Linux Foundation ramp up the coordination and active involvement of the IT, telecom and semiconductor industries.

Looking ahead, there is no doubt the industry has moved to a stage where it is cognizant of the emerged and emerging security concerns, but what is key is to eliminate the bias towards actioning against the same. Proactive evaluation, monitoring and counter-attack of every attack surface is necessary.
