Other security market drivers are the effects of volatility on security, a more dangerous threat landscape, complex and evolving regulatory standards of protection, consumerization and mobility, and the ongoing transformative effects of cloud computing.” – Gartner (link) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg3taa98YREChallenges “The environment is changing: the boundaries of business infrastructure are being extended – and sometimes obliterated – by the emergence of cloud, mobility, social business, big data and more, while the attacks are getting more and more sophisticated, often showing evidence of extensive pre-operation intelligence collection and careful, patient, long term planning. ” – IBM (link) “The average company’s computer infrastructure is attacked nearly 60,000 times every day.” – IBM (link) “The rapid adoption of the newest mobile devices -- especially the Apple iPhone and iPad and the Google Android-based equivalents -- will be a huge disruptive force in enterprise security next year. ” – CIO.com (link) 5 January 17, 2012 Security: A HorizonWatching Trend Report © 2012 HorizonWatching Creative Commons Attribution License
