How is current environment and future technology developments affecting security?

Over the past several years there has been significant innovation in ICT. The rise of mobile devices and the cloud are two of the most talked about. While most organizations are in agreement that these trends will continue and lead to improved productivity, they do pose a new security threat. 

However, while the technology has advanced, many organizations are becoming increasing skeptical that the world economy will continue to grow. As a result, budgets may be placed under increased scrutiny. Against the backdrop of these new technologies, it is important for enterprises not only to continue to invest in security, but to make the right investments. The approach to security will need to change to address the threats posed by the new technologies. Taking a traditional approach to security will in many cases leave originations exposed and venerable to attack and potential financial loss.
