Food for thought, points to ponder...

2008, as I see it, is a time when cyber security has improved. Attacks of malware still continue, but controllable. I discovered that, searching of hackers tools and websites for malicious methods of attacks has not returned any results. I assume that the relevant parties has taken the steps to eliminate these threats.

What to expect during 2009? With the economic downturn, electronic manufacturers has been adversely affected. Companies are cutting down their expenses, and my guess is that the IT dept will be one the first. This, in turn, with the lack of security in Information Systems in the top management, may trigger the beginning of another wave
of attack in the near future, due to the lack of control and measurement that should be in place. These loopholes in the organization will be discovered, and will be a source for malicious activities.

The Internet has advanced in technology and methods. Web 2.0 (involving social networking and knowledge and resource sharing) and application sharing such as GoogleDocs - will it cause another virus outbreak, or another attack? Would the cyber space be another method of terrorism? hmm... a food for thought....
