According to Flashpoint’s first “Business Risk Intelligence- Decision Report”, corporate security concerns will step from insider threats, hostile nation-states, and the growth of new technologies connected to the Internet of Things. Threats from last year expected to increase also include foreign actors, disruptive hackers, cybercriminals, hacktivists, and jihadi cyber-attacks.

Experts have grown increasingly concerned with insider threats as this threat has been deemed the biggest threat to nearly every organization. From dissatisfied work, desired supplementary income to unintentional accidents, insider cases have seen a drastic popularity and are expected to rise in 2017.

The demand for convenience is ramping the speed-to-market for IoT products, but these new technologies often times lack embedded security measures.
