From Help Net Security:
8 cybercrime trends that will shape IT
These predictions come from Websense a company whose predictions tend to be accurate. Here's an overview:
1. The healthcare sector will see an increase in data stealing attack campaigns (I blogged about this yesterday)
2. Attacks on the Internet of Things (IoT) will focus on businesses, not consumer products.
3. Credit card thieves will morph into information dealers.
4. Mobile threats will target credential information more than the data on the device.
5. New vulnerabilities will emerge from decades-old source code.
6. Email threats will take on a new level of sophistication and evasiveness.
7. As companies increase access to cloud and social media tools, command and control instructions will increasingly be hosted on legitimate sites.
8. There will be new (or newly revealed) players on the global cyber espionage/cyber war battlefield.
The purpose of this blog is to help small-medium businesses (SMB's) deal effectively with their unique cyber security needs. With over 15 years experience in IT and cyber security I will show SMB's how they can leverage their limited resources to develop effective cyber defenses to the most common threats using information security best practices and no/low cost tools.
