5 Cloud and Data Protection Trends for the Coming Decade

In 2012, only the most significant disruptors could have imagined the data-first, data-centric world we live in. With the rapid growth of the internet, the ever-evolving needs of businesses and the increasing emphasis on cyber security, cloud and data protection trends are constantly in flux.

In the coming decade, we will likely see an emphasis on cloud data protection. There will be more data protection services and data protection solutions available, and there will be an emphasis on not only protecting but also curating data.

Let’s take a look at the trends in cloud data security.

An increased focus on user authentication

More organizations are recognizing the importance of user authentication, access management and identity verification to protect their data from malicious actors. This includes utilizing multi-factor or biometric authentication techniques instead of relying solely on usernames and passwords.

The growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for data protection

AI can be used to detect potential threats in real time, as well as proactively monitor data usage and identify malicious actors. AI-based solutions are becoming increasingly popular among businesses, providing a way to quickly detect suspicious activity, flag malicious users and protect data from cyber-attacks.

The rise of new encryption standards for data privacy

Encryption is becoming increasingly commonplace as businesses look to secure their data in the cloud. Encrypted data can be more difficult for attackers to access, making it a powerful tool for protecting sensitive information and preventing unauthorized access. In the past, only the most important data was encrypted because encrypting and decrypting data was burdensome. Now, all data is encrypted and to higher standards.

Emphasis on mobile device security

With the prevalence of mobile devices, it is becoming increasingly important to ensure that these devices are protected. Companies should implement device encryption, two-factor authentication and remote wipe capabilities to ensure their data is safe from malicious actors.

The growing use of cloud security solutions and partners

Most businesses today are using some measure of cloud storage, whether it’s through AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or SaaS solutions like Salesforce. But cloud storage is going to evolve. Already, cloud storage is being implemented in new ways for data management and data protection. Data warehouses roll management, storage, protection and disaster recovery services into a single boutique offering. And cloud security solutions provide cloud-enabled services without the threat.

In the coming decade, cloud and data protection trends will evolve as businesses seek more secure solutions to protect their data. As threats become increasingly sophisticated, organizations must remain vigilant in protecting their data and be aware of the latest technologies to ensure they stay ahead of attackers.
