The future trend of IT security for the next 20 years

So what's the future of IT security? Every year the experts are astonished by predictions, but is it really that hard to predict? First hackers where just malicious, then they started to steal for money. Crime syndicates grew. Corporate and State espionage continues and lately State sponsored "hacking" exists. Now cyber warfare has started, and there's every reason to believe that a full-out cyber war or cyber terrorism will become very destructive to the non-virtual world. Surprisingly, these feats are not result of technology.

This socially abusive behavior has always existed, long before modern technology. Empires and kingdoms attacked or built walls and raised army's to protect their citizens. However this protection was never was a final solution. So what can save us?

Perhaps a common political agreement of� what's right and wrong. But today cyber laws are not in agreement or enforceable. So cyber police won't protect us for some time to come.

For now be vigilant. Expect they are coming. Maybe the question is not if an attack will happen, but how much can we protect?
