2018 Security Predictions

Corey Nachreiner, WatchGuard's Chief Technology Officer, looks back at the year of 2017 in network security and predicts what 2018 will bring.

This year:

• Could hackers find a vulnerability severe enough to wipe out a popular cryptocurrency?
• Improved Mirai-botnet source code paves the way for a major IoT botnet attack
• Ransomware criminals look to increase their payouts, but who is more likely to pay?
• Linux specfic attacks expected to double, partly driven by cheap IoT devices
