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. And perhaps the biggest change that organizations' security teams need to get to grips with is the cloud. This was highlighted by a  recent survey , in which over 75% of respondents said the cloud service provider is entirely responsible for cloud security. This rather worrying finding was offset by some respondents stating that security is also the responsibility of the customer to protect their applications and data in the cloud service, which shows at least some familiarity with the 'shared responsibility' cloud security model.  What ...

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. And perhaps the biggest change that organizations’ security teams need to get to grips with is the cloud. This was highlighted by a  recent survey , in which over 75% of respondents said the cloud service provider is entirely responsible for cloud security. This rather worrying finding was offset by some respondents stating that security is also the responsibility of the customer to protect their applications and data in the cloud service, which shows at least some familiarity with the ‘shared responsibility’ cloud security model.  What exactly does ‘shared responsibility’ mean?  In reality, the responsibility for security in the cloud is only shared in the same way that an auto manufacturer installs locks a...

In the coming years, the requirement for real-time data processing and analysis will drive organizations to adopt edge computing in order to reduce latency and increase connectivity between devices – but adopters will inadvertently bring about a renaissance of neglected security issues. Poorly secured edge computing environments will create multiple points of failure, and a lack of security oversight will enable attackers to significantly disrupt operations. Organizations in industries such as manufacturing, utilities, or those using IoT and robotics will be dependent upon edge computing to connect their ever-expanding technical infrastructure. However, many will not have the visibility, security or analysis capabilities that have previously been associated with cloud service providers – information risks will be tra...

Organizations in industries such as manufacturing, utilities, or those using IoT and robotics will be dependent upon edge computing to connect their ever-expanding technical infrastructure. However, many will not have the visibility, security or analysis capabilities that have previously been associated with cloud service providers – information risks will be transferred firmly back within the purview of the organization. Attackers will exploit security blind spots, targeting devices on the periphery of the network environment. ...
