Emerging Cyber Threats in 2015

With the Internet's pervasive reach into business, government, and private life, it is unsurprising that cybercrime and espionage not only continue to evolve, but that new techniques are quickly adopted. As companies move data to the cloud, trade-offs between security and usability hamper business. The Internet of Things continues to expand, but security remains untested. While mobile platforms have largely been safe for consumers and businesses, researchers and attackers are finding ways around the ecosystems' security. Mitigating the risk of cyber attacks continues to be uncertain and costly, but gaining better visibility into threats and mitigating specific risks can help. Online recommendation and reputation systems increase in importance while threats to them mature.
