Espionage will go mobile
Espionage campaigns, which can also be a serious threat to businesses, will look to target primarily mobiles, benefi ting from the fact that the security industry can struggle to gain full access to mobile operating systems for forensic analysis.

Device integrity in an over-crowded internet
As Internet of Things( IoT) device manufacturers continue to develop devices that are not necessarily protected, which can then cause wide-scale problems, there is a risk that vigilante hackers could take matters into their own hands and disable as many devices as possible.
Phases of IT security
Considering these predicted threats, cyber security should be everyone’ s priority, and local companies, no matter their size, need to change their 80 / 20 approach to IT security – and become more proactive. To best understand what this strategy needs to look like, a business should examine the security process itself, and gain an understanding of the four distinct, universal phases of IT security.
Threat prevention
Here a business needs to examine how it can block all the generic threats, which are emerging. It doesn’ t sound like much, but our research shows the generic threats emerge at a rate of 310,000 a day.
Detection
This phase requires advanced tools and expertise, as well as the time to identify the indicators of attack, spot an incident, investigate it and mitigate the threat.
Responding then becomes crucial – which businesses must not ignore. This phase requires the unique skills of forensic experts to ensure that the response is effective and that the threat is dealt with, entirely.
Prediction of future attacks means understanding the attack landscape of today, to assist a business in determining the long-term strategic defense required.
Of course, technology alone cannot protect a company. However, efforts from all departments must be unifi ed and every department must know the company IT security policy to avoid falling victim to such predicted threats.
