Forcepoint 2018 Security Predictions

As we round out what has been one of the most impactful years in cyber security we are pleased to announce the Forcepoint Security Labs’ cyber security predictions report for the forthcoming year.
Subject matter experts across our global Security Labs, Innovation Labs, CTO and CISO teams have pooled their collective insights to give you an accurate insight into the landscape of the future. We have dived into the current threat landscape, looked at business challenges on the horizon and surveyed enterprise leaders to arrive at what we think are key areas of risk that will present themselves in 2018 and beyond.
8 for '18
In our report we describe the major shifts that we expect in 2018.
With enforcement of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) looming how will businesses behave in the months leading up to, and after, May 2018? How will organizations strike a balance between privacy and security in a world where privacy fights back? We look at the current state of ransomware to anticipate where cyber criminals will strike next. Will they move their attention to the Internet of Things or move their target to a different goldmine? As more of the web moves to HTTPS by default we anticipate the implications in 2018 as we discuss browser features and inspection of encrypted traffic.
We discuss these topics and more in our full report.
