2020+ Threats: end-user and corporate perspective

Maksym Schipka Independent researcher

We live in interesting times. The pace of change in the IT industry is immense: software created a month ago is already outdated today. The ways we use the internet are changing and the global information ecosystem is changing our lives. We increasingly use feeds instead of traditional browsing. Our personal computers are being replaced by mobile devices. Company IT infrastructures are being converted to a set of services provided via the web. Our information is somewhere out there "in-the-cloud", available, accessible, ready for us anywhere, anytime. It also is available and accessible to the bad guys anywhere, anytime. It greatly influences the way we think about IT security.

By examining the changes in technology and innovations in the way we use the global information ecosystem, we will attempt to predict the shape of the anti-threat market in 2020. The presentation will talk about the kinds of threats that will exist, the types of "products" that will be needed and the criteria that will need to be used when selecting the necessary protection. The goal of this presentation is to open the minds of modern IT decision-makers to the challenges our high-tech future holds for us.
