Technology will be ubiquitous in every aspect of business and everyday living in the new year, according to Frost & Sullivan A/NZ head of ICT research, Audrey William. In its market outlook update, the company outlined the top five technology trends that will make an impact in 2016.
The first and biggest issue in the ICT industry, according to William, is security as it will be driven by rapid adoption of Cloud, mobility and the Internet of Things.
As platforms become more open due to the rapid adoption of Cloud, mobility and the Internet of Things, security threats will rise and this will become the single biggest issue to tackle in the ICT industry, William claimed.
According to her, the recent Ashley Madison incident brought about greater awareness of cyber security threats amongst organisations.
“Cyber insurance will rise in the coming years. We will witness more insurance companies step in to offer cyber insurance policies that will offer more than just compensation and protection from liability in the event of a cyber-attack,” she said.
In the home environment, as smart home solutions witness greater adoption, this will mean that users will use their mobile phones and tablets to control power, cooling, heating, lighting and security. By allowing one interface to control the various applications of the smart home, she said security challenges will be a big issue for the industry players to grapple with.
