Using the Past to Predict the Future: Top 5 Threat Predictions for 2013

As the holidays approach and 2013 is on the horizon, December is a natural time to reflect on events of the past year and what we have learned from them. Subsequently, every December I inevitably am asked to extrapolate or predict what the threat landscape might look like next year. I’m not Nostradamus, and I know that we can’t use the past to predict the future with absolute accuracy. But I wanted to share my thoughts on the top five trends that I predict we’ll see in the coming year based on current observations of the threat landscape.

Before I get to my predictions, it’s no secret that privacy and cyber-security are two topic areas that will continue to be hot topics in 2013. Several privacy-related topics are garnering interest such as Differential Privacy and Do Not Track (DNT), among others. To state the obvious, privacy will be a super important topic area in 2013. Governments in many parts of the world are working on ways to best protect critical infrastructures from attacks that could impact the safety and stability of their regions. A colleague of mine, Paul Nicholas, published an article earlier this year called The Future of Cybersecurity: Understanding How the Next Billion Users Will Change Cyberspace that provides insights into this topic area. With these more obvious trends stated, let’s dig into my top five predictions.
