Cyber-Security- 2018 Trends and Predictions

Cyberspace has brought us all a security threat that has no visible front, borders, or armies. With millions of annual cyber-attacks, cyber-crime has become a real threat to anyone using computers, smartphones, tablets, the internet of things, and other gadgets connected to the internet.

With each year passing, cyber-crimes keep rising. When we look back at 2017, the world has witnessed many security breaches. While some have been reported, there are perhaps many more that were not reported. Needless to say, the war for cyber-security rages on, as nations seem to be moving rapidly towards one of the most open societies in a world, that is more connected than ever before, without the necessary security framework and infrastructure in cyberspace, geospace, or space (CGS).

Irrespective of individuals and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA), when we try to protect ourselves against the threat from cyberspace, it is important to understand that threat vulnerability comes not only from cyberspace but also from geospace and space. Irrespective of whether those vulnerabilities from CGS are intentional or accidental; they can obtain, damage, or destroy any asset in cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS) due to cyberspace connectivity with geospace and space. So, as we begin 2018, it is important that we evaluate new developments in cybersecurity, understand the trends, and forecast predictions.

Cyber-Security- 2018 Trends and Predictions

Looking back at the state of security vulnerability, the growing number of cyber-crimes across NGIOA and cyber-security, there is a need to evaluate effective technology /non-technology solutions. Time is now to talk about “Cyber-Security Risks”.
