So what is on the horizon for 2016? Most experts expect to see continued growth in mobile malware and even more security breaches, especially in the health care and financial industries.
Internet of Things
Internet of Things challenges will continue.
The Internet of Things (IoT) introduces new network devices into your environment, all with their own vulnerabilities, said Wolfgang Kandek, CTO at Qualys. The best way to limit their reach into your corporate network is to have a guest network where end users can install these devices and where no access to enterprise devices is available. Kandek recommended using features such as AP isolation to make sure that devices are sheltered from each other's network. Speaking of IoT, a positive security note that Kandek thinks we'll soon see is overall automatic patching in IoT devices, similar to what we've been seeing with smartphones.
