Trend Micro Incorporated has released its annual security predictions report, “Blurring Boundaries: Trend Micro Security Predictions for 2014 and Beyond.” The outlook cites that one major data breach will occur every month next year, and advanced mobile banking and targeted attacks will accelerate. Critical infrastructure threats, as well as emerging security challenges from the Internet of Everything (IoE) and Deep Web, are also highlighted. The report parallels Trend Micro’s long-term projections in the recently released nine-part online video drama entitled, “2020: The Series,” depicting a technology saturated society and the corresponding cyber threats.
“We see the sophistication of threats expanding at a rapid pace, which will impact individuals, businesses and governments alike,” said Gregory Anderson, country manager at Trend Micro, South Africa. “From mobile banking vulnerabilities and targeted attacks, to growing privacy concerns and the potential of a major breach each month, 2014 promises to be a prolific year for cybercrime. We will also see the evolution of the IoE, which serves as a prelude to the surge in technological advancements as the decade closes.”
