Scott Crawford is Research Director for the Information Security Channel at 451 Research, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, where he leads coverage of emerging trends, innovation and disruption in the information security market. Scott is also a member of 451 Research's Center of Excellence for Quantum Technologies.
Well known as an industry analyst covering information security prior to joining 451 Research, Scott has experience as both a vendor and an information security practitioner. At IBM, Scott served as a senior strategist with IBM Security. He is the former CISO of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) International Data Centre in Vienna, Austria, where he pioneered the implementation of security policy and architecture for a non-governmental organization (NGO) serving more than 150 nations.
His experience includes systems and security management for leading organizations in both the private and public sectors, from Emerson to a division of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, focused on the collection, management and analysis of geophysical and meteorological data.
At this year's virtual incarnation of its annual event for IT pros, Cisco elaborated on its performance in growing its security business, highlighting services growth and new product offerings to serve changing demands among security operations teams and enterprises seeking to extend security to 'work from anywhere.'
Cloud security is routinely listed as a key concern in any cloud transformation, but the issue is even more pronounced for larger enterprises, which need a robust security posture from their cloud suppliers. Oracle Cloud is looking to meet this demand anchored on its experience with databases and identity, coupled with built-in security features.
In a busy market, threat intelligence is differentiated by more than insight into the nature of threat actor motives and methods. Intel 471 seeks to shine not only in the expertise of its 'boots on the ground,' but in the way it scales the gathering and delivery of actionable content.
Verizon's 2020 Data Breach Investigation Report, which is augmented with public sector incident-response information, suggested that approximately 43% of data breaches could be traced back to the compromise of a web application. A number of factors, but notably the pace of application development, are leading to a long-talked-about trend toward moving away from point-in-time testing in application security to continuous approaches that federate day-to-day testing to application developers. 451 Research's VotE: Information Security research suggests that 2021 will be the year when developer and information security usage of application security testing tools reach parity, forcing both teams to collaborate in more meaningful ways, and pushing the tools themselves to evolve quickly or fall by the wayside in favor of tools better equipped to operate within a modern software development lifecycle.
