We've identified five areas of security implications to be addressed by organizations looking to succeed in the digital economy: edge autonomy, data integrity, big data security, security platforms and customer trust.

1. 1. Edge Autonomy
Protect edge devices from physical tampering or unauthorized access.
Establish controls for data integrity. Expand governance to include edge
devices and their infrastructure.
2. Data Integrity
Implement robust security controls for data. Develop a data assurance program
that scales and ties directly back to the business model.
3. Big Data Security
Apply information security principles across big data collection and management.
Ensure security measures address the volume, acquisition velocity and data
variety being collected.
4. Security Platforms
Combine operational and security information to effectively respond to the
changing cyber landscape. Collaborate with ecosystem partners on security
challenges and responses.
5. Customer Trust
Build trust by being transparent with customers. Follow proactive, ethical data stewardship
practices. Use innovative approaches and tools that will appeal to customers.

the Internet of Things (IoT).
New operating models and explosive growth in big
data bring exciting opportunities, yet also introduce
security concerns to be addressed.
