BeyondTrust Technology Predictions for 2017 and Beyond

November 2016 by BeyondTrust

BeyondTrust announced its top 10 technology predictions for 2017, along with five technology events to
watch for in the next five years
. The cyber security threat landscape continuously grows
in complexity and scope, leading to new attacks, innovations, regulations
and security measures every year. As the Internet of Things continues to
change the world and the way people live, it will also continue to open
threat possibilities for all connected devices, whether they be consumer
products or industrial systems. 2017 will be no different - a year of
change, growth, and advancement.

And in the next five years, technological threats and innovation may drive
us to a world we scarcely recognize, for good and for bad. Imagine the
implications of compromised self-driving cars. Consider embedded
identification technology, powered by the human body in which it resides,
giving two-factor identification new meaning. Five years could bring the end
of privacy laws, operating systems and anti-virus software. Might we even
see a video game take down the North Korean regime?

Following are BeyondTrust’s top 10 technology predictions for 2017:

 1. The first state cyber-attack will be conducted and acknowledged as
an act of war. 2017 will see the first large scale attack by one nation
against another, and be acknowledged as an attack and the techniques used
considered as weapons.

 2. Password re-use will fade, out of necessity.
Re-using passwords, one of the most dangerous user
practices, will take center stage amid large security breaches, convincing
more people to use unique passwords.

 3. The Internet of Things (IoT) will come under government scrutiny and
require manufacturers to tighten security. Manufacturers will be forced to
tighten security, including patchable firmware/software, secured
authentication, and controlled privilege access, driven by large scale attacks using IoT.

 4. Commercialized anti-DDoS will emerge. Following constant DDoS
attacks above the 500GB mark, a new startup that directly attacks and
patches botnet systems will launch in an unregulated country, and patch a
hundred million hosts.

 5. Behavioral technologies will be embedded into new technologies.
Pressure, typing speed and fingerprints will be used to advance biometric
recognition to protect devices from cybercrime.

 6. Adaptive and behavior-based authentication will grow in importance.
Mobility, cloud deployments and increased regulation will drive innovation
in identity verification.

 7. Tor v2 will come online. Since the government has infiltrated the
Tor network, companies will start to setup cross-country file transfer
networks, moving toward a fully encrypted, clear text network.

 8. Compliance concerns will drive growth in the endpoint and device
market. A hard stance on outdated software accessing banking systems will
knock user acceptance down 40 percent, but increase the purchase of new
computers, Chrome books, mobile devices, and tablets that are more secure
than older systems.

 9. Known vulnerabilities will continue to be exploited. Most attacks
will begin with an exploit taking advantage of a known vulnerability where a
patch has been readily available.

 10. Cloud vendors will increase security measures. Attacks on cloud
platforms, workloads, and enterprise SaaS applications convince
organizations to expand their privileged access
management budgets.
