In a press release, security experts with IT solutions provider Unisys have announced some predictions for the near future, with some strong warnings about looming security risks.
They believe that as the Internet of Things continues to expand in everyday life and the business world, it will present more opportunities for fraudsters to exploit security failures. While no sources are cited in the press release, there are studies that suggest such trends: For example, it’s been made pretty clear that as more and more financial transactions are being done online, fraud is ramping up in that area as well.
The Unisys experts also predict that retail transactions will favour the ease-of-use of mobile payment platforms over chip-embedded credit cards, and that wearable computer technology and cloud computing will complicate the traditional means of network security.
