Security predictions for 2011

摘要

This Past year has been a doozy in the security world. We kicked off the year by discovering operation Aurora, saw the first national-industrial sabotage attack with Stuxnet and are closing the year with Wikileaks about to become a constitutional crisis between the First amendment and a 1917 espionage law.Let me dive in and make some predictions for security in 2011: Device explosion: Continuing from 2010, consumer devices flood corporate networks with security professionals trying to come to grips with all the new risks introduced. The good old days of only worrying about Windows are truly gone. Tablets, smartphones and other devices will push the ratio of devices-to-people well past 1-to-l. Desktop virtualization will expand a lot beyond just laptops and thin clients.
