Like Ryan Gosling speeding along in Drive, IoT is on the horizon, it’s going to be a bigger
influence on our everyday lives than expected and it’s going to cause massive ructions within
the security world.

All of our devices are going to turn into the Von Traps, singing together in perfect harmony, but
the majority of these are still on their default settings, open and internet ready; hackers thrive on
this and will be able to integrate malware into home networks.

Finally, onto some positive outlooks rather than the doom and gloom. Cyber Insurance, 10
years ago, this wouldn’t have been talked about, but now with the growing threat on all
companies the IT budgets will start to include the insurance side of things.

Yes it’s good news for Law Firms and Insurance brokers, but it’s also great to see that Cyber
Security is getting more recognition across all aspects of businesses.

There’s going to be a greater commitment to Cyber Security and don’t be surprised if roles like
Chief Cybercrime Officer (COO) start coming to the forefront, tasking one person with the
responsibility to ensure a company is ‘cyber-ready’.

With GDPR starting to tootle along like the Hogwarts Express, companies are going to need to
be on top of everything and make sure that they are in the best position to combat Cyber
Security threats with both technology and processes.
