The new normal has accelerated Data and AI adoption manifold, and this has clearly shown the benefits of investing in a tech enabled future. This is enabling organizations, individuals and governments across the country and the world to not only rebound stronger from the crisis, but to reimagine a new future. The banking and financial services industry has been at the heart of this change. A critical determinant of Indias economic success, weve seen the sector embrace large scale digital transformation in the last few months, paving the way for the future of banking in India.

Harnessing the power of AI will continue to be a vital enabler in that journey. It is becoming existential for every business and will play a key role in Indias economic and social value creation. AI has supported the government and businesses with containment efforts, workforce planning and protection, as well as in restarting the economic engine in a systematic and secure manner. Driving utilization of Data and AI will also be a catalyst in realizing Indias 2025 vision of inclusive development, and a recent NASSCOM report shows that it has the potential to deliver $450-500B for the economy by 2025.

In this environment, building a scalable model for leveraging the full potential of Data and AI will be central to driving unbridled innovation and digital transformation across industries, and particularly in the banking and financial sector. Were already seeing more innovation than ever in fintech as people are depending less on physical wallets and using more of digital payment mechanisms. Financial services organizations have been leveraging AI to enhance customer experience, improve operational efficiency, manage risks, detect frauds, gather data-driven insights, and even streamline regulatory compliance. Were seeing innovative lending products with data driven insights enabling the ability to predict and minimize credit risk as well as analytics-based collection models.

This also has deep implications for financial inclusion and access. Technology platforms built with strong data and AI foundations are enabling contactless banking and remote operability for millions across India. AI is helping build the critical digital infrastructure that will allow every community, urban and rural; every business, small and large; every worker, first-line and knowledge workers; and every person, including people with disabilities to benefit from tech intensity.

AI should be defined not just by what technology can do on its own, but by how it can augment and amplify human effort for people to do more. Banking of tomorrow will combine artificial and human intelligence (AI+HI) to be more collaborative, personalized, inclusive, deliver better products and consumer experience, and built on trust. It is a privilege to collaborate with IDRBT to introduce this paper, and we stay committed to working together with everyone to innovate and reimagine the next phase of growth. Creating an-AI ready ecosystem that enables everyone to leverage the technology for productivity and growth is an imperative for India to leapfrog into the future. This will accelerate the progress towards the mission to empower every person and every organization in India to achieve more.

This post was originally published as a foreword in AI in Banking: A Primer, a whitepaper published by the Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT) in association with Microsoft.

Security firm Cybereason has announced a new partnership with Oracle to enhance protection for customers in the face of a growing cyber-threat landscape.

Firstly, it has adopted the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to run its automated Cyber Defense Platform. Cybereason said this will improve security and risk posture as well as reduce operational costs for customers using its platform. It placed a particular emphasis on Oracle Cloud Infrastructures ability to accelerate artificially intelligent threat detection.

Additionally, the two companies have entered into an agreement to jointly market and sell solutions, helping organizations search for available applications and services that best fit their needs.

Cybereason hopes the partnership will help facilitate its global expansion.

Lior Div, Cybereason CEO and cofounder commented: Were excited to collaborate with Oracle to enhance our companys cloud infrastructure for our award-winning unified protection platform. We chose Oracle Cloud Infrastructure because of its security-first approach and performance. Together, we will deliver unmatched visibility and risk reduction to our global customer base. Additionally, the Oracle Cloud global footprint will enable Cybereason to offer in-country hosting in more locations for meeting regulatory data sovereignty requirements.

Clay Magouyrk, executive vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, said: Cybereason joins a growing roster of companies adopting Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for its leading security and price performance advantages delivered across its global cloud footprint. Adopting Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will enhance Cybereasons ability to deliver insights into threats across thousands of endpoints and enable customers to stay one step ahead of todays most nefarious attacks.

In September, it was announced that a department of the UKs Ministry of Defence (MoD) added the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure within its MODCLOUD Multi-Hybrid suite of secure services.

Adoption of cloud services has grown substantially this year as organizations looked to function efficiently following the shift to remote working as a result of COVID-19. According to a recent study by Sumo Logic, multi-cloud adoption went up by 70% year-over-year in 2020.

Cybereason Adopts Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to Enhance its Platform Security - Infosecurity Magazine

When the topic of 2021 security predictions came up at a recent meeting of top cyberindustry executives, several leaders starting laughing.

Really? After we completely blew it last year? said one chief strategist.

Wow! Were not even out of the woods yet with COVID-19, said a marketing expert. How can we talk about the post-pandemic world with credibility?

I doubt many cybersecurity companies will fully participate right now Dan. So many moving parts, industry disruptions, budget challenges, political issues, new tech unknowns and more.

The many bah humbug thoughts and opinions shared about even attempting to look at upcoming online cybertrends reminded me of this 2016 Computerworld editorial on the folly of cybersecurity predictions and my response in CSO Magazine explaining why we continue to have more security predictions and how you can benefit.

But despite some naysayer forecasts assuming a lack of interest in security predictions for the coming year, I can definitively announce another growth in new security industry predictions, forecasts and related trend reports (with new lists) for 2021.

In the past two months I have received a deluge of emails with interest from small, medium and large companies who want to get on board the prediction/forecast train now. Many others are back for more.

Some cybersecurity findings that will impact next year require digging and Google searching. Nevertheless, there are more companies participating, with more interest, more forecasts, and bolder statements about future cybersecurity directions and our coming online life after the pandemic recedes.

Yes, we are seeing some new twists, as we do every year. More companies are renaming these reports away from the traditional predictions or forecast. White papers and reports are using words like trends, findings, cyberissues, recommended solutions, actions required, themes or other words that still point to their desire to describe what happened, what is coming next and what needs to be done now to prepare for 2021 and beyond.

A few companies, like McAfee, decided to hold off and issue their prediction reports in January, so they are not included. But no matter which words are used, all of these organizations seek to be seen as thought leaders and/or trend-setters for new, global cybersolutions and even crisis imperatives.

Whos right? Who should we listen to after 2020? Where are the true thought leaders? You will need to decide, but without a doubt, these lists can help. I urge you to follow the links and dig much deeper into key topics.

Last week, I released my roundup of 2020 cybersecurity trends, which describes how COVID-19 brought a global cyber pandemic. Shortly after that year-end report was released, we learned about the massive scale of the SolarWinds breach, which even impacted the U.S. nuclear weapons agency. Therefore, the cyber pandemic was even broader and deeper than previously revealed while the headline topic remains the same.

Reviewing 2020 Predictions Good, Bad and Ugly

Last December, in The Top 20 Security Predictions for 2020, we reported this about the new decade: Common prediction themes across vendors include the 2020 elections in the U.S., more targeted ransomware, more ways to attack the cloud, and an explosion of problems with deepfake technology.

Theres disagreement on the most important cyberthreats to focus on as we head into 2020, even though everyone agrees that cybersecurity is more important than ever before. Just as in 2019, we have the continuation of arguments for and against AI (i.e., how helpful is AI really and will our enemies use it or not?). Also, the continued disagreement on whether cloud versus mobile threats are more of a challenge.

Of course, there is no mention of a global pandemic and the impacts that it would have regarding an explosion of security issues from more staff working from home. I did write this: Finally, will cyber terrorism reemerge? Very few dire predictions (again) about Cyber 9/11s or Cyber Pearl Harbors or even people dying in hospitals from cyberattacks.

Little did we know that a cyber pandemic would be the top year-end summary story for 2020, which would include ransomware, data breaches, health-care attacks impacting patients and now the SolarWinds data breach. In June 2020, I published this mid-year set of blog predictions in a special coronavirus edition with select vendors.

2021 Security Industry Prediction Trends

Moving on to predicting 2021, here are some major trends that cut across a large number of cybersecurity industry prediction reports:

The Top 21 Security Predictions by Security Industry Companies

Important Note: I urge readers to visit these company portals, read their full prediction reports and see the details on each research item. Our goal is to point you in the right direction for more details and solution specifics.

1) Trend Micro takes the top prize (again) for another outstanding research report with so much more packed into an easy-to-access document with references as well as great summaries and sub topics.

Turning the Tide: Trend Micro Security Predictions for 2021 starts with the summary: In 2021, organizations will scramble to deal with the far-reaching effects while striving to stay secure as online dependency grows. We discuss the developments that are not only plausible but ones that should also be anticipated. We look into the drivers of cybersecuritys near future and how organizations will have to adapt as threats and technologies exert their influence. Our report aims to empower organizations and decision-makers to frame a proper, strategic response that can withstand change and disruption.

This year, Trend Micro offers details on:

Specific Trend Micro security prediction highlights:

2) Watchguard once again issued a great report entitled 2021 Cybersecurity Predictions with videos and much more. In 2021 and beyond, we predict that cyber criminals will find new and innovative ways to attack individuals, their homes and devices, in order to find a path to your trusted corporate network. The global pandemic has rapidly accelerated the existing shift toward remote work, where employees operate beyond the protection of the corporate firewall. In turn, hackers will exploit vulnerabilities found in the gaps between people, their devices, and the corporate network.

Watchguards top eight predictions include:

3) FireEye FireEye always offers an excellent set of helpful materials in their report. This year the report is called A Global Reset: Cyber Security Predictions 2021. The 12-page FireEye/Mandiant forecast addresses these topics:

Heres an excerpt:

Despite the urgency of their work, threat actors will continue to target healthcare providers and vaccine makers. In the near term, the coronavirus will likely continue to have a significant impact on normal business operations, with a focus on supporting remote work, virtual events and new productivity platforms. The pandemic forced almost every organization to become better at operating under significantly changed working conditions and in the wake of a changing environment, IT and IT security challenges will most likely persist throughout 2021 .In the longer term, technology solutions will step in to facilitate the return to work, school and other activities, potentially introducing new risks for privacy, personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI). Similarly, the desire to reduce the risk of human exposure may further accelerate the shift to autonomous vehicle and robotic solutions in transportation, manufacturing and other fields.

4) Splunk has again produced an impressive (21-page) pdf/ebook with some excellent analysis and their Data Security Predictions for 2021. Here are a few:

The sheer amount of security alerts, of potential threats, is too much for humans to handle alone. Already, automation and machine learning help human security analysts separate the most urgent alerts from a sea of data, and take instant remedial action against certain threat profiles. A July article in VentureBeat noted that Chase is using machine learning not only to target customers with more appealing marketing campaigns; the banking giant uses supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms to identify known and novel security threats.Ram Sriharsha, Splunks head of machine learning, expects AI/ML security tools to grow in their sophistication and capability, both in terms of flagging anomalies and in automating effective countermeasures.

5) Kaspersky Labs Kaspersky always produces a ton of great material regarding cyberthreats for the coming year, threat reports, detailed analysis of risks, and so much more from all over the world in different sectors. The problem (and reason they are not higher on this list) is that it is hard to find and very segmented and targeted towards many different audiences. While this may be a deliberate marketing tool that works for them around the world (and they are much bigger outside the U.S.), it is tough to find one solid list of all their predictions.

The good news is that I have pulled from different lists and provide links here.

First, start with these Kaspersky Advanced Threat predictions for 2021 (see report for more details under each item):

Second, there are some great ICS-CERT threat predictions here:

Finally, see this Kaspersky list that reviews 2020 predictions and adds more 2021 predictions on cyberthreats to financial organizations:

6) Check Point Check Point again offers a very solid list of predictions in a variety of categories. I must give credit to Check Point for their extensive coverage of cybersecurity during the pandemic, which is highlighted here with best practices under the headline of Cyber Pandemic.

Heres their list with more details in the link:

Pandemic-Related Developments

Malware, Privacy and Cyberwar

New 5G and IoT Platforms

7) Gartner Most security and technology pros are aware of the outstanding content and analysis offered by Gartner. However, most of their reports and analyses come with a hefty price tag, which is why they seldom rise to the top of my annual list of security predictions, trends and forecasts. (Reminder: I do review materials that ask for contact information to download, but I do not review materials that cost users money to read.)

For 2021, I was pleasantly surprised by Gartners security trends and other materials in report format that are available for free if you know where to look. Although there are pointers to plenty of subscriber content and the items below are in non-typical formats; nevertheless, the material is excellent and very helpful for security analysis and planning for 2021.

First, we have Gartners cybersecurity research for the top 10 security project priorities for 2021. Here are the first seven of those with details in the link:

Second, we have this excellent (and free to download) 2021 Planning Guide for Security and Risk Management. There are numerous pieces to this guide, but I am only focusing on the trends for 2021:

8) Forcepoint Forcepoint offers several intriguing 2021 predictions in a series of blog posts available at their x-labs portal. The last item on insider threats is an eye-opener. Here are their top predictions with a few summaries:

With the move to mass remote working and accelerated digital transformation in 2020, cybersecurity has moved up the foodchain. Cybersecurity is now a business differentiator, and it needs a category disruptor. The need for a converged, digital, cloud-delivered platform means well see the emergence of the Zoom of Security a high-tech system that just works and is easily accessible for the everyday consumer.

In the past weve thought of insider threats as disgruntled employees who walk out of the building with proprietary information hidden in their briefcases. But today, your employees may be scattered around the world, you may hire them after only meeting via Zoom, and they may never step foot inside one of your offices. And today, you can buy almost anything on the dark web, including trusted insiders. In 2021, I expect to see organized cells of recruitment infiltrators offering specifically targeted means for bad actors to become trusted employees, with the goal of exfiltrating priceless IP. These bad actors, literally, will become deep undercover agents who fly through the interview process and pass all the hurdles your HR and security teams have in place to stop them.

9) Fortinet New Cybersecurity Threat Predictions for 2021 and the well-written and unique FortiGuard Labs Cyber Threat Predictions for 2021 offer the following predictions under three main headings (with many more details in the report links):

The Intelligent Edge Is a Target

Innovations in Computing Performance Will Also Be Targeted

Artificial Intelligence Will Be Key

10) Crowdstrike Crowdstrike was one of several companies that came out with an excellent report that uses new words besides predictions or forecasts, but essentially offers many of the same concepts with a product focus. Crowdstrike calls their insights themes, but they also use words like findings and trends in the beginning.

Their new 38-page report is entitled Crowdstrike Services Cyber Front Line Report: Incident Response and Proactive Services from 2020 and Insights that Matter for 2021. It offers an excellent forward by company President Shawn Henry (who is a former FBI lead on cyber.)

Some findings and trends:

Here are Crowdstrikes top themes, with more details and recommended responses under each heading available in the report.

11) Forrester Similar to Gartner, there is more free Forrester prediction content this year than I have ever seen. I am impressed with the number of predictions and scope of coverage that can be found on their Predictions 2021 website. After you download their free report (contact information required), here is a sample of what you will find related to security in some respect (with many more details in the report):

Other Forrester security predictions can be found here and here. Here are some excerpts:

12) AT&T Threat Traq Security Predictions (see their video for highlight details)

AT&T Cybersecurity also released an impressive report entitled 5G and the Journey to the Edge, which has some implied predictions for 2021 but is mostly a solutions guide to moving to 5G. It contained the following takeaways (with details in the report):

13) LogRhythm Labs six 2021 security predictions with some helpful infographics at the end. Again, see the report for details under each item.

14) The Enterprisers Project released these 7 security trends to watch in 2021, which includes items from IBM, Red Hat, Sungard AS, Veracode, SAS, Kenna Security and AttackIQ. I encourage readers to go to the article and read the details, but here are the headlines:

15) Proofpoint offers these Seven 2021 Security Predictions and Trends to Watch with some different twists, but with familiar themes.

16) BAE Systems According to BAE's 2021 Cyber Security Predictions, from the rise of ransomware to remote working, it is time to shore up your defenses (Note: The U.K. spelling in the report has been changed to U.S. spelling for these excerpts.) In the report, James Muir of BAE Systems Applied Intelligence lays out his 2021 cybersecurity predictions on ransomware, synthetic media, hacking for hire and remote working for organizations and financial services organizations.

17) Symantec/Broadcom Symantec 2021 Cyber Security Predictions Looking Toward the Future.

Symantec prediction reports are nothing like they were back in 2017 when they set the prediction standard, but they do offer a glorified blog on key topics this year. Here are their top three:

18) Bitglass Anurag Kahol, CTO of Bitglass, offered these seven cybersecurity predictions in Security Magazine with helpful backup material and links with more details in the article. No huge surprises here.

19) TechBeacon offers an excellent piece in The future of DevOps: 21 predictions for 2021.

Here are their six cybersecurity items:

20) Thycotic again offers an intriguing and sophisticated list of predictions from my respected friend and global cyberexpert Joseph Carson. Ive been on numerous panels with Joseph, and his cyberexpertise and stories in many areas are exceptional. The piece is called Cyber Security Trends and Predictions for 2021, and Reflections on 2020.

Here are some of Thycotics security prediction highlights:

21) Imperva offers another good list of 2021 predictions with details in this video.

Here are their top five security predictions:

The Top 21 Security Predictions for 2021 - Government Technology

The events of 2020 literally came out of nowhere. When the effects of the pandemic were first felt in mid-March, no one fully understood the impact they would have on society moving forward. In less than one year, digital transformation advanced more than it did in the previous two years.

There were steps taken toward a digital transformation that was taking place gradually over the past few years. However, many businesses felt content to ease their way into adopting cloud computing, data analytics, and artificial intelligence. The events surrounding the pandemic pushed them toward accepting these things if they were going to survive.

While digital transformation is forcing businesses to change the way they operate many organizations around the world are not able to embrace it. According to Business Wire's report, a Canadian study by Beagle Research Group showed that 2/3 of Canadian organizations are not ready to digitally transform the way they operate. Most of them were already working on their digital transformation goals, but the pandemic situation forced them to speed it up to the point where they couldn't keep up with the transformation requirements.

Digital transformation is an exhausting process for most companies that had to fight for their survival since the pandemic's outbreak. Most of them had to rethink their cybersecurity strategies, and move to the cloud, says Gary Stevens, a web hosting and IT administrator on Hosting Canada's Web Services Team. "Make sure your websites are hosted on a secure Canadian web hosting platform, educate your employees on how to secure their devices while working remotely, focus on attracting and retaining customers," says Stevens. There's no doubt that 2020 has been a huge year for digital transformation, not only in Canada but around the globe.

What will the changes seen during 2020 mean for digital transformation, especially in the software business, in 2021? Will technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud computing take on greater importance? Or will they fade away? There has been much discussion about new technologies that might take the lead.

Without a time machine, there is no way to accurately predict what tomorrow will bring. However, when looking at current trends in the software business, it is possible to make an educated guess on what digital transformation trends will dominate in 2021.

1. 5G Technology Will Become Mainstream

Technology related to 5G has been on just about every list that discusses digital transformation for the past few years. It is the technology that promises so much. However, up until now, it has failed to materialize.

Thanks to videoconferencing, remote work and digital collaboration, the need for connectivity and bandwidth has become urgent. The concrete benefits of 5G technology are clearly seen. Everyone is relying more on their tablets, devices, and a myriad of Internet of things devices. Technology related to 5G will be affordable, accessible, and an integral part of digital transformation in 2021.

2. The Hybrid Cloud

Even before the pandemic, businesses had been migrating to the hybrid cloud. It was already set to be a major force in digital transformation for software businesses in 2021. However, the sudden disruptions caused by COVID-19 have highlighted the importance of having an adaptable and agile cloud infrastructure.

Businesses are accelerating their investments in the cloud. Software businesses want to quickly make changes in an uncertain environment. No one wants to have the feeling of helplessness that accompanied the disruption of business in 2020.

3. More Emphasis on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

AI and machine learning have also been mainstays on lists of digital transformation trends to look out for. In 2021, these technologies seem to be at a point where they can reach their full potential.

AI is allowing for increased connectivity in every aspect of an organization. Increased connectivity means access to and the creation of more data.

The power of this can be seen with many software applications. A simple example is ERP software. When it is AI-enabled, it can organize data and prioritize it, collect it, and structure it. This makes it possible for organizations to manage transactions and take the necessary action to prioritize growth.

4. Increased Emphasis on Predictive Analytics

Predictive analytics focuses on using predictive modeling, data mining, and machine learning to look at data and try to predict what the future will bring. Predictive analytics is used in software that organizes maintenance operations. It is helping decision-makers identify equipment issues before they happen.

In 2021, predictive analytics and its accompanying software will play a larger role in other industries. For example, buyer behavior models, materials management, and financial operations will be influenced by predictive analytics.

5. A Hybrid Business Model

It is expected that in 2021, software businesses will adopt a hybrid business model. This is a blend of physical presence, online presence, and decentralization. This is a tweak to the idea of remote working. The idea is that people are not remote but are close to a network. Organizations will be able to connect to cloud computing resources and work jointly to realize their organization's goals.

This is going to require re-examining digital engagement solutions. The solutions that are used now work just fine, but they were primarily designed for an age when everyone worked in the office. The benefit of a hybrid business model is rapid adoption. Technologies such as webinar software solutions are needed that allow open communication and collaboration between teams, individuals, and customers.

For software businesses, this means that 2021 will probably lead to mergers, reorganizations, and acquisitions. Big vendors are going to grow larger. The competition between vendors will become more intense as certain vendors will rise from the pack, creating software and platforms that make use of integrated communication layers.

6. XaaS Model Will Grow Stronger

The X as a service model has become the standard used by many software businesses. The year 2021 will speed up this trend where services delivered will be in the cloud. Customers will be able to virtually access just about everything they need. The Internet of things and artificial intelligence will play a vital role in expanding this service model.

Artificial intelligence as a service will be a major player. There are already several technologies, including speech recognition, data processing, and face recognition, that are becoming viable because of artificial intelligence. AI is at the heart of the framework of cloud computing. Because of this, many IT giants are investing heavily in the concept of artificial intelligence as a service.

7. Increased Emphasis on Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is always a priority. COVID-19 has emphasized the importance of cybersecurity. Cyber criminals have exploited COVID-19 and have attacked businesses worldwide. Since the pandemic began, attacks on banks have increased by over 230 percent. It is expected that in 2021 software makers are going to increase their efforts to make their products and services secure to address the threats that have become apparent in 2020.

Conclusion

The coronavirus pandemic has changed digital transformation. It has made things that were once thought impossible or impractical seem like a good idea. It is likely that this will continue in 2021.

The year 2021 promises to be a big year for the software business. Hopefully, it is one that is filled with stability and financial prosperity. Regardless of how the year plays out, the one certainty is that digital transformation will continue to be a focus of organizations around the planet.
