Digitalization has transfigured the way we view
and experience the world. Enterprises are eying
the development of digital-first business models
to attain competitive advantage and fundamentally
transmute how to deliver value to
customers. While the digital footprint is being
expanded on a war footing leaving little time for
planning, the risk of security has also shot up
exponentially. Moreover, the pandemic has
become a fertile ground for scammers and
cybercriminals to proliferate cyber risks as
enterprises continue to automate their operations
and digitalize the businesses. The rapid
adoption of emerging technologies such as
Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning
(ML), Internet of Things (IoT), automated
botnets, and cloud computing is greatly
compounding the growth towards digitalization. Ho
wever, it is adding dynamic cybersecurity
challenges for the enterprises. One question they
should ask themselves is Have we considered
risks to emerging platforms and solutions such as
software bots and smart devices? Cyber risks
arising out of emerging technologies and
solutions Managing cyber risks within enterprises
is already a major leadership challenge. There
are sequestered and innate cyber risks inherent
in the emerging technology platforms and
solutions.

The role of cybersecurity in agile development
and cloud computing As security specialists are
fundamentally malleable to the varying ecology of
cyber threats, it is practically viable that they
would flourish in a place that works towards
flexibility, a core belief behind Agile. Agile
development and cloud computing have become the
norm for every enterprise embarking on their
digital journey. To achieve security and quality
at speed, agile development driven with cloud
computing is the most preferred combination for
many enterprises. It is imperative to take
advantage of the cloud that offers high levels of
security and enterprises can attain superior
assurance in the face of the digital world that
has cybersecurity entrenched in most
businesses. Post the pandemic, many enterprises
have transitioned to cloud allowing their
employees to work remotely and enterprises have
eventually become weary of the cloud remote
access security risks. It is a business
prerogative to implement the best security
practices and enable IT compliance with
cybersecurity.
