60 Cybersecurity Predictions For 2018

GDPR will be the Y2K of 2018: Companies are publicly touting their GDPR readiness, but behind closed doors, I expect a lot of uncertainty about the ability to comply with these new and incredibly strict guidelines. While GDPR won't result in the same public hysteria as Y2K, IT practitioners who were around at the turn of the century will feel a bit of déjà vu. Healthcare has become a high value target as technology in this industry is widely disparate, but is being connected over networks that are still catching up from a security perspective. Brands have been quick to jump on the IoT bandwagon, but they will have their hands full. In 2017, we saw KRACK and BlueBorne exploit WiFi and bluetooth, opening fresh holes in our already battered perimeters.
