2017 Predictions AND bwantsb

2017 Predictions AND bwantsb

Going to do this one a little differently, part of it is going to be the typical bthrow the crystal ball over the shoulderb stuff that we all dob&although honestly JUST going to 2017 is not far enough for some of the stuff we are working onb&and the other part of this is simply a list of desires or wants for the coming year.
We will baseline with the following:

  1. This is somewhat USA centric, youbll see why in a momentb&and Ibll apologize for it too.
  2. This is couched in the knowledge of the last 12 months of breaches and horror stories.
  3. This is built in the knowledge that we continue to full our houses with electronic crap.
  4. There are MORE conferences to go to than you have hours in the dayb&how do you juggle?

Wants:

  1. Secure design, it is NOT too much to ask for, but it seems too much to be able to deliver.
  2. Honest executives who stand up and take responsibility for being breached IMMEDIATELY.
  3. Those very same executives to actually take action BEYOND the first 6 months POST breach.
  4. When sales or marketing want a new Cloud serviceb&they actually INVOLVE IT/InfoSec.
  5. Threat intelligence that makes sense AND is usable in a timely manner. (Didnbt I build one?)
  6. People to stop using 123456, Password1 and other bloody useless codes to defend their assets.
  7. Retail, financial, healthcare and other industries hitb&when will someone p0wn the lawyers?
  8. Intelligent AIb&actually something that worksb&although possibly I donbt want this?
  9. Something that actually stops me from moving away from the first computer we break into.
  10. A system my grandmother can use that REMAINS secure past the date of purchase.

Predictions:

  1. All your toasters belong tob&NOT YOU (same goes for your fridge, microwave and crockpot.)
  2. Not only is your PC encrypted and ransomed, so is your NEST, Samsung TV, LG Fridge, etc.
  3. We keep hearing that there are shortages in our field; we will continue to feel the negative effects.
  4. 123456 become 124356, integrity of your data is questioned based on the undetected attacks.
  5. All your IT is run by your business units. The cloud disseminates the ITbs ability to manage data.
  6. All our data still doesnbt make senseb&data analytics and modeling still has a long way to go.
  7. Managed security services will continue to grow; all MY problems become YOURS (hopefully.)
  8. The ability for LE around the globe to continue to collaborate on key issues WILL grow.
  9. Blockchain and BitCoin get used to those two wordsb&they will continue to evolve and grow.
  10. The continued evolution of the attackers Swiss army knife of leased/purchased exploits avenues.
  11. The evolution of non-traditional security. The Stack we have doesnbt work, time for something new.
  12. IF Amazon or anyone fully realizes drone delivery then watch drone-jacking become ba thing.b

Ibve kept them short, 1 line or so, you get the ideab&itbs going to be an interesting year and webve not even mentioned the Trump effect!
