9. New Risks
• IoT devices spreading malware
26% voiced a concern that these devices could spread malware
to companies, or be the subject to denial-of-service attacks
• Privacy
When adversaries reach a point where they begin correlating
information from different sources, they will be able to gain a
much bigger picture about users
• Forgotten assets
The pressing concern of the growing population of abandoned
and unmanaged Internet-connected devices

10. Cisco security researchers found that
malicious traffic was visible on 100

11. To combat these threats across the entire
attack continuum — before, during, and

12. New Opportunities
• Visibility-driven
The more we see, the more we can correlate information and apply
intelligence to make better decisions and take action
• Threat-centric
Real-time security intelligence can be delivered from the cloud and
shared across all security solutions to detect and remediate threats
• Platform-based
Security requires an integrated system of agile and open platforms that
cover network devices and the cloud
