What technologies will be the most popular in the IT/TECH Industry in 2023?

From cybersecurity in general and industrial sectors standpoint, where we are experts, these are some technology trends I see in 2023. The growing scale of geopolitical conflicts and cybercrime will impact IT/OT systems of many industrial sectors, especially energy, oil and gas, military, and airspace. In turn, organizations in the sectors build more effective cybersecurity approaches and demand more advanced cybersecurity technologies.

That includes more deep, timely and intelligent security monitoring of office, data center and process control network malicious and anomaly activities and host activities, including detailed information about assets, hardware, software, their components, and vulnerabilities. This is where processes and technologies of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) will be evolving by governments, manufacturers, and asset owners, but in 2023 the SBOM maturity will still be low.

The critical situation with cyberattacks will make incident response processes to get faster and more effective, to get more automated and integrating detection, analysis, and response processes, this is where Extended Detection and Response (EXR) technologies will be evolving. Incorporating machine learning and AI, and based on adversary Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) knowledge from MITER ATT&CK framework for Enterprise and ICS.

But at the same time, we will see more IT/OT integration and boundaries fading away, despite inherent risks of it. This will be in the form of industrial controllers’ virtualization, containerization, and cloud adoption.

As a final trend, I see that in 2023 cybersecurity will be integrated more into business risk management strategy of many companies and will be one of the main responsibilities of the C-suite.

“Vantage represents an industry breakthrough in addressing this need, providing advanced network visibility and security across a new generation of converged IT, OT, and IoT environments. Its SaaS architecture, massive scalability, and high-performance data analytics are unmatched.”

Nozomi Networks’ Vantage cloud-hosted security platform leverages the power and simplicity of SaaS to deliver unmatched threat detection and visibility across OT, IoT, and IT networks. Vantage boosts operational efficiency and slashes network integration, administration, and cybersecurity overhead. It helps reduce time spent on troubleshooting and forensic activities.

The solution provides superior visibility via a single view and network mapping so customers can immediately visualize all their globally distributed OT and IoT assets. Additionally, enterprise-wide visibility provides instant awareness of OT and IoT assets, activity patterns, and network risks.

Vantage also enables real-time awareness with continuously updated Threat Intelligence. It can identify vulnerabilities in every system and generate alerts on malicious activity using signatures and behavioral-based anomaly detection techniques.

“We are thrilled to have Vantage recognized by CyberSecurity Breakthrough with such an incredible award,” said Nozomi Networks Co-founder and CPO Andrea Carcano.
