Unisys Predicts Organizations Go On The Offensive to Protect Data In 2010
29 December 2009
- The consumerization challenge – organizations’ focus will shift to data protection as opposed to traditional network security or infrastructure security
- A good offense – financial institutions and government agencies will adopt a more comprehensive, integrated view of their IT environments and will seek to better understand the human element behind illegal activities to help them pinpoint in advance when and where and how attacks are likely to happen.
- Proactive ports – ports will actively begin assessing risks, simulating response efforts and creating more robust disaster recovery plans in the coming year
- Cloudy forecast – more organizations will begin moving less sensitive public data into cloud computing environments to attain cost savings in 2010, and will then migrate more sensitive data to the cloud as new security models are developed to address multi-tier data protection.
- Biometrics on the border – the rollout of electronic passports will be led by countries in the Asia-Pacific region and Europe
- Taking IT to the streets – mobile biometric devices will allow governments to take more biometric-based critical services directly to their citizens, rather than requiring their citizens to come to the technology
- Smart surveillance – real time event detection technology will soon be able to identify a security breach as it occurs and initiate an action instead of simply recording footage to be reviewed after the incident
