It’s the time of year again when IT security experts predict what the next year will bring. Today, we bring to Vigilance's readers the predictions of three IT experts as seen from their 'crystal glass'. Read on:
Darren Anstee, solutions architect team lead at Arbor Networks, predicts:
1) DDoS will become more visible as a business risk: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) has become a familiar term to many more of us over the past year. The mainstream press coverage of the attacks from Anonymous; our increased appreciation of the broader spread of motivations behind attacks; and the simple fact that many organisations have now experienced attacks have seen to that. Ideologically motivated attacks are often in the press, but many other attacks are motivated by extortion, the need for a distraction (from other criminal activity e.g. data-theft) and revenge; DDoS is even being used now as a competitive ‘weapon’ in some markets.
