With the onset of a new year, it is prediction season again, and several NetIQ thought leaders have shared their identity, security and cloud insights. The emerging trends that have arisen in prior years like cloud, mobility, social and big data have been key challenges recently that are reflected in this year’s predictions. The large amount of information compromised last year have destined privacy and IT security to be topics of interest in 2014, including the consumerization of IT and how organizations will respond. Privacy, will become a major concern in the mainstream this year, and consumers will respond proactively. Consumers will increasingly adopt authentication alternatives, acknowledging that standalone passwords are insecure. Data security, resilience, availability and recovery are the next step in the consumerization of IT, as individuals strive to backup their critical data. Another topic of interest in 2014 is how organizations will respond to the heightened security risks. Trust in public cloud providers decreased significantly with the revelation of the NSA spying allegations in 2013. This year, organizations will shift their focus to on-premise cloud solutions that inherently offer more control over critical and sensitive data. It is also predicted that organizations will steadily focus on the role of privileged users and utilize Managed Security Services for increased security management internally. While BYOD was also a big trend in 2013, Bring-Your-Own-Identity (BYOI) will come into play in 2014, but it does not come without risks. CIOs need to be prepared to monitor this trend, deciding if BYOI would reduce or increase their overhead, workload and liability/risk profile. Read the full set of identity, security and cloud predictions from NetIQ's thought leaders in this deck.

1. 2014 Identity, Security and Cloud
Predictions

2. Internet of Things (IoT) will be
2014’s big data
There will be an increased number of potential security
threat vectors as a result of more things being plugged
in…

3. There will be an increased focus
on privileged users
Those with privileged access can potentially do a lot of
damage. This is not a new concept nor concern, but
the Snowden incident puts privileged users back in the
spotlight in 2014.

4. Incorporation of Managed
Security Services (MSS)
We should expect to see an effort to utilize MSS for
some aspects of security management, while in-house
teams will focus on adding value, providing guidance
and ensuring better alignment with the business user,
who ultimately foots the bill.

5. Privacy will become a major
concern in the mainstream
Data monitored by the governments, the number of
data breaches in 2013 and factor in the inability to
control how information flows after we disclose it to an
initial party and we have quite a number of privacy
issues to deal with. Plus new or amended privacy
legislation comes into effect in some countries in 2014
raising the profile of privacy further.

6. Device Malware will focus on what
the device accesses
Once installed, malware on devices will continue to
focus on the things the device has access to, like
online accounts and data, rather than anything on the
device itself.

7. Security departments will shift
focus from incident identification
to incident reaction and
management
Ultimately, it is pointless identifying a threat when there
is no path forward to manage the incident, deploy the
appropriate responses and counter the threat through
remediation.

8. We are at the dawn of an
encryption renaissance
Organizations will re-examine where their critical data
resides and encrypt as much of it as they can. They
must also use stronger forms of encryption to reduce
the chances of their data being decrypted.

9. The number of authentication
alternatives will increase
We accept passwords as a necessary evil, but they
are insecure. Consumers want to be identified using
more secure, usable means.

10. Data security, resilience,
availability and recovery; the next
step in the consumerization of IT
As consumers we do not ensure we have multiple
backup sources and can recover from failure or loss of
data; or that data is secure and cannot be stolen. This
will change. We will begin to take more care of
personal data.

11. 2013’s Data breaches will tip the
scales in favor of spear phishing
The volume of data breach in 2013 means criminals
know more about us than they ever have. This
knowledge will be used in spear phishing.

Identity became a core part of IT and business in 2013
promoting MSPs to respond to the demand.

14. Organisations will get serious
about their own on-premise
private cloud
Trust in public cloud providers has decreased. To
enjoy the cost and productivity benefits a cloud
infrastructure brings while maintaining full control over
critical and sensitive data, organizations will deploy a
private cloud.
