The Very Best Unchecked and Untested 2020 Predictions
This week's episode of Defense in Depth
InfoSec Trends for 2020
On this episode of Defense in Depth:
Co-host Allan Alford and sponsored guest Rob Potter, chief revenue officer for Verodin, discussed:
More large scale breaches is not a prediction. At this stage that's an inevitability.
ML/AI/Blockchain will continue to be oversold and under-delivered.
Most cloud breaches are configuration errors. They are not mastermind attacks. They can't be called a breach if they were never secured properly in the first place. Note that cyber insurance does not pay out unless proper protections were in place.
"Better" cloud and Internet of Things (IoT) security is not possible given how far it's been mismanaged up to this point. There are so many insecure nodes out there that it appears an impossibility to create any type of patch protection. There was strong debate as to whether this was a true statement or not.
Strongest prediction (and it's already in motion) is the convergence of privacy and security.
Privacy will be driven by regulations and as a result more people will be instituting chief privacy officers to avoid being in violation.
