On Wednesday (16 November), the ‘2017 Cybersecurity Predictions Report’, prepared by cybersecurity experts from web security firm Forcepoint and defence contractor company Raytheon, the global security challenges will expand in both the technological and physical worlds.
Kris Lamb, vice-president of Forcepoint Threat Protection R&D and Security Labs, said:
The security challenges rising from the rapid integration of the digital and physical worlds in 2017 will be felt globally.
As per Josh Douglas, Raytheon Foreground Security chief strategy officer, “organisations think they get inherent security just by migrating to the cloud”.
But moving data off-site does not absolve organisations of their responsibility to secure it and best practices still matter. The end result of a rush to cloud computing without these considerations may mean a decreased security posture for many companies in 2017.
The report predicted that the rise of voice-activated artificial intelligence to access web, data and apps will open up data privacy concerns.
A new corporate-incentivised insider threat may clash with customer data, corporate profit and other performance goals, forcing businesses to re-evaluate their corporate environments and growth strategies.
