Spaf's Crystal Ball: Network Security Predictions

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the spaf-in-the-house dept.

remora writes "Eugene Spafford[?] (of CERIAS, and co-author of "Practical Unix Security") has written an article for Information Security Magazine with eight of his predictions for the coming years in network security. He touches on subjects such as "Spam will grow as a problem" (obviously), to the "Greater emphasis on international cooperation and communication. Some of the article is fairly predictable, but it is still interesting to hear from one of the more experienced security people out there."

    We need a good appliance that can detect spam/intruders/viruses. In a nice little package with an LCD "Iris" that closes when it detects a "bad" incomming packet and the makes a thud sound when it kills it. :-)

    Ok, yes, I watch too much Sci-Fi channel...
