Cyber Security Predictions 2021: Experts’ Responses
Worryingly, the development of deep fake technology is approximately five years ahead of our ability to guard against it.

This year, the threat of misinformation has reached a new state of maturity. In 2021, we can expect the issue to grow further, forcing organisations to become more vigilant and take greater levels of accountability.

 

Currently, the majority of malicious actors are still using misinformation for legacy cybersecurity activities. Next year, we will approach another phase of viral misinformation in the form of deep fake technology.

This year, the threat of misinformation has reached a new state of maturity. In 2021, we can expect the issue to grow further, forcing organisations to become more vigilant and take greater levels of accountability.

 

Currently, the majority of malicious actors are still using misinformation for legacy cybersecurity activities. Next year, we will approach another phase of viral misinformation in the form of deep fake technology. 

 

Worryingly, the development of deep fake technology is approximately five years ahead of our ability to guard against it. Threatening to erode trust even further, 2021 will see the cybersecurity community working on a range of solutions and technologies to prevent and solve the problem of misinformation, fake domains and deep-fakes.

2020 Cybersecurity Landscape: 100+ Experts’ Predictions
The big attacks are back.
Over the last year, we have seen governments around the world re-evaluate the security of the 5G supply chain. This has led to a mismatch of solutions – ranging from a complete ban on the use of Huawei and ZTE equipment in some cases, to government funding for research and development of alternative 5G technology. First mover deployment, however, is proving to have created an almost insurmountable lead which will be difficult to start reversing in 2021. Additionally, with significant.....Read More
Over the last year, we have seen governments around the world re-evaluate the security of the 5G supply chain. This has led to a mismatch of solutions – ranging from a complete ban on the use of Huawei and ZTE equipment in some cases, to government funding for research and development of alternative 5G technology. First mover deployment, however, is proving to have created an almost insurmountable lead which will be difficult to start reversing in 2021. Additionally, with significant subsidies provided by China’s government and pricing pressures as we face the post Covid-19 recession, Huawei is likely to retain a major advantage even in countries where governments are attempting to prohibit its platforms. In the UK, for example, whilst no new Huawei kit is to be added to the network from January 2021, the planned removal of all Huawei technologies by 2027 is unlikely to be fully completed in that timescale. As a result, organisations need to work from the assumption that the 5G infrastructure is ‘compromised by design’ and develop methodologies to establish security and encryption outside of the boundaries of the 5G infrastructure. Put simply, organisations should avoid using 5G equipment to generate secure sessions for the foreseeable future.  Read Less
