2016 Ciso challenges: Devon Bryan, ADP Vice President Global Technical Services (CISO)

With 2015 being appropriately dubbed as 'the year of the ‘mega breach' and with the increasing sophistication and stealth with which miscreants have been launching their attacks, the predictions for 2016 are quite ominous.

Despite the increased penetration of EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa), I’m not anticipating significant declines in retailer financial crimes in 2016.  I’d expect that in 2016 the overly hyped market predictions regarding cyber insurance adoptions would actually start materializing.  I’d expect more dramatic transformation in the bloated end-point protection space with AV actually being replaced. I’d expect to see explosion in the ransomware space and specifically DD4BC variants.  I’d also expect to see dramatic developments in uber mobile malware.  Based on the current tensions in global privacy I’d expect some significant developments in US - EU Privacy relations.
