Ofer Amitai, CEO, Portnox 

IoT as the next trojan. We’ve already seen the hacks through IoT devices and it will continue.

Increased regulations. More standard security controls and a growing cyber insurance demand.

More automation of security enforcement for prevention, increased machine learning for detection and remediation for response.

Increase in nationwide terror attacks. They might not cause real damage, but they’ll get us talking and disrupt daily life – think traffic lights, power, etc.

Attacks on public figures. Expect embarrassing photos and tax documents galore.
