2016 will see a big change in how companies approach security
As we have noted in earlier posts, one of the problems with online security is that it really hasn’t caused enough of a financial burden on users and corporations to warrant serious consideration. According to Edward Lucas, senior editor at The Economist, we may see that begin to change in 2016.

“Well-run organisations will stop using passwords and logins in 2016,” Lucas wrote in a recent article. “Instead they will use identifiers that are harder to copy, fake, steal or guess, such as biometrics (fingerprints, retinas, posture, gait and even typing habits). Security questions will stop being asinine (“mother’s maiden name?”). Instead they will ask you to give numbers from codes continuously generated by an app on your phone. Identification that depends on a triple lock—something you have, something you know and something you are—is harder for an attacker to replicate.”
He goes on to point out that that will not be the only change in data security, but we think he’s saying the right things. And we have the resources to help you fight the good fight.
