My 2012 Technology Prediction
Here is my high-level list of six technology prediction for 2012. What do you think?
1) There will be significant acceptance of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) into corporate estate, and there will be changing corporate policy and governance around this. As we are currently seeing, some organisations have started to incorporate BYOD into corporate policies and governance models; and some now are starting to make budget provision for IT to include BYOD in the corporate procurement.
2) There will be formidable challenges from Mobile Application Security, resulting from overwhelming demand in mobile applications and Mobile and Cloud-based technologies.
3) There will be significant Greenfield Regulatory demand around Data Protection and Privacy. 2011 was the first time the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) was given absolute powers to fine and penalise organisations in breach of privacy, and while the movement for ‘Privacy by Design’ is gaining momentum in Canada, and Australia etc., We will see in 2012 a global demand for privacy impact assessments (PIA), this will be driven by various factors including, but not limited to, data protection regulatory obligation, changing delivery models (cloud computing) and end-user awareness (media phone hacking, invasive journalism).
4) There will be, as has been, information security drivers coming from Social Networking Media. This will see convergence of personal data protection & privacy and corporate office use of social networks for enterprise ad and sells medium.
5) There will be a good wave of discussion around Situational Awareness in Computers and Networks. This will be around mechanisms to protect valid assets and detect attacks exploiting emerging technologies and changing operating models. So such mechanisms will be around mechanisms to secure BYOD, deter velocity-based attacks, cloud-based attacks, and mobile application related issues.
6) As always, Protection against Terrorism and Serious Organised Crime will be a central theme in government, such as counter-terrorism, bio-informatics and Intel.
