In the coming years, new technologies will further invade every element of daily life with sensors, cameras and other devices embedded in homes, offices, factories and public spaces. A constant stream of data will flow between the digital and physical worlds, with attacks on the digital world directly impacting the physical and creating dire consequences for privacy, well-being and personal safety. Augmented Reality (AR) technologies will provide new opportunities for attackers to compromise the privacy and safety of their victims. Organizations rushing to adopt AR to enhance products and services will become an attractive target for attackers. Compromised AR technologies will have an impact on a range of industries as they move beyond the traditional entertainment and gaming markets into areas such as retail, ...

Like many things in life, network security is a continuous cycle. Just when you've completed the security model for your organization's current network environment, the network will evolve and change – which will in turn demand changes to the security model.

Attackers will perform man-in-the-middle attacks on AR-enabled devices and infrastructure, gaining access to intimate and sensitive...

Like many things in life, network security is a continuous cycle. Just when you’ve completed the security model for your organization’s current network environment, the network will evolve and change – which will in turn demand changes to the security model.
