3. Prediction #1
2016 will be the first year
people choose cloud because
of the security benefits
Proof Points:
• Reference architecture
• Sheer number of easily accessible security
capabilities

4. Prediction #2
The number of attacks on
cloud environments will
rise
• 2016 is the year of mainstream cloud,
more in the cloud to attack
• Need threat intelligence, not a bunch
of threat technology

5. Prediction #3
Large security vendors have
been impacted by cloud
• Unable to rapidly evolve technology,
expensive security deployments outmoded
and ineffective
• Cloud offers native security without this
overhead, easier to upgrade, switch
technologies

6. Prediction #4
DevOps and cloud
automation are on a collision
course:
• Deployments are becoming 100%
automated
• Security must be automated and fit
seamlessly into this infrastructure

7. Prediction #5
The IT security organization
is changing:
• Security teams will switch from auditing to
building software
• Will need to develop engineering skills to
meet security needs
