While security technologies have grown so have the tactics, techniques, and procedures cyber attackers use to penetrate your defences. The need for Data Science and Analytics skillsOrganizations are generating a large amount of data and in the new model of focusing on detection rather than prevention, there is a need to analyze these data sets to detect potential threats before they actually become an exploit. So, the focus in 2018 will move from DevOps to DevSecOps. Organizations should continue to not only do the basics right – but should quickly deploy tools that can promptly detect threats by mining through automatic filling machines Factory large network-based data sets. Detection and response will be the primary focus. Online integration of tools to enable checking for security flaws in code as it is being developed will become the need of the hour as we get into 2018. Speed of response and containmentFaster containment of threats is the need of the hour. More money will flow into security detection through Deep Learning and Machine Learning-based threat discovery models. Insider attack by employees of Cloud Infrastructure Operators is also a threat that is looming.

It wasn’t long ago when much of an organization’s daily business processes were fulfilled without the need for computers. Third-party tools to configure and audit cloud security – with an environment of dynamic IPs that cloud infrastructure ordinarily throw at you – is paramount to ensuring information security.A record-tying eighth planet has been found in a faraway solar system, matching our own in number. It is 2,545 light-years away; a light-year is 5. Like Earth, this new planet, Kepler-90i, is the third rock from its sun.Shallue said Google plans to release all the code needed for someone to join the exoplanet search, using a basic home computer and the publicly available Kepler data.

They essentially trained a computer to identify exoplanets based on Kepler's observations in changing stellar brightness - the subtle, fleeting dip in a star's brightness when a planet passes in front of it. But it's much closer to its sun - orbiting in just 14 days - and therefore a scorching 800 degrees Fahrenheit (427 Celsius) at the surface.While machine learning has been used before in the search for exoplanets - planets beyond our solar system - it's believed to be the first time an artificial neural network like this has been used to find a new world.The two used a technique similar to what had been previously used by others to enable machines to distinguish between pictures of cats and dogs.""Who knows what potential insights might be gained," she said. Even more amazing, machines and not humans made the discovery.The Kepler-90 system also could have a ninth planet or more, according to the researchers.
