According to Ovum’s latest Security 2014 Trends to Watch report, attack volumes will continue to rise and no business should consider itself immune; any type of organization can be targeted. Even the best-protected government, military and business systems have already been breached, and in 2014 they will to be put under further pressure.
Security 2014 Trends to Watch:
- More proactive protection is needed to address the cyber security time bomb.
- Security-as-a-service will be the way forward for a growing number of organisations.
- Cloud and mobility will change the way we approach IT security and user protection.
The author of the report Andrew Kellett had this to say:
“In 2014, cyber espionage and state-sponsored threats will continue to make headlines, but the concerning underlying trend is that similar technology can and will be used against ordinary businesses.”
“Security experts recognise the rise in use of sophisticated malware, and this is driving the need for better and more proactive security,” says Kellett. However, he adds, “organisations will be required to fundamentally shift their approach to security from a mainly static defensive posture to one of taking positive action before or as an attack takes place.”
