The connection and coordination of an increasing number of devices, as well as the use of one computer (or tablets), both for home and business purposes are the targets of expert cyber criminals. If you want to know more about us and how to protect yourself from cyber-criminal, schedule an appointment with a lawyer and have all you questions answered.
This year will be one of the most challenging years, at least when cyber security is in question, as it is anticipated by experts to expect a significant increase in attacks of all forms.
Cyber criminals are constantly improving and constantly looking for new ways to access electronic data of physical and legal persons, all in order to achieve material benefits. In reality, cyber scams and cyber theft have become a serious and very lucrative business.
Here is a list of trends that belong to the security software industry, that physical and legal persons should pay attention to the most. These are the cyber security trends that await us in the years before us.
Internet stuff
The connection and coordination of an increasing number of devices, as well as the use of one computer (or tablets), both for home and business purposes are the targets of expert cyber criminals. This is a clear signal to security companies that the maximum protection is directed to those devices and applications that are being used on them, and not to the ultimate access points, which was quite the case.
A serious increase in sales and the presence of smart cars in the near future will lead to more and more serious attacks on them. Hacking smart cars and vehicles that are connected to the Internet will soon become a reality. The worst-case scenario could involve car hijacking and seeking repurchase by hijackers. A serious battle for the safety of smart cars is ahead of us, and probably the biggest challenge for the security industry to prevent attacks of this type.
Devices and gadgets connected to the Internet (IoT devices) will increasingly penetrate into the corporate life. For example, it could easily happen that cyber criminals, in a few steps, access information on a computer through a smart thermometer, an intelligent razor, or a smart clock that an employee of an enterprise enters with his computer at the office. IoT security is already and will be a serious challenge for all security software creators.
Cloud
Many think that if they transferred their data to Cloud that the issue of their security was solved, but not really. More and more often, the information contained in "Cloud" is easily stolen and easily procured into the public, that is, they can easily become blackmail. According to forecasts by Symantec in the coming period, blackmailing malware will seriously attack Cloud and take all the date, which will logically lead to more serious approach to creating a solution to protect information in Cloud. Experts of the mentioned security company as a proposal offer a combination of traditional and modern solutions.
