requirements. In other words, if we are developing the new solution – we should always
think how to protect our users from the malicious consequences. For instance, it’s well

known that the Internet of Things (IoT) marketplace is so fast growing one and so soon
it would worth trillions of dollars. The quite good field for investments, you would agree

with? The main question here would be how secure those solutions are. From a today’s

perspective, it would seem that the security would become the ultimate imperative for
the coming year. It’s quite undifficult to connect so many devices on the internet and

make the quite robust IoT network out of them, but could anyone promise to you that

you would remain physically and cyber safe? The security got the supreme demand
being one of the biggest challenges for tomorrow and we are not quite sure that 2018

would bring anything revolutionary regarding so. By so many sources, the 2018 would
stay about the same as the previous period of time. Well, let’s discuss all the questions

that could get open for the next year.

The huge concern with a today’s world is that it’s not equally developed everywhere. As
the consequences to that we have somehow present terrorism, organized crime and

human trafficking in some parts of the world. As it’s known – the crime would not

recognize the borders and so many malicious
actors would circulate around the globe looking

for a new target of their harmful action. Doing
so – those folks would rely on cyber

technologies and so frequently they would
succeed in their missions for a reason the good

practice would still deal with the quite weak

security countermeasures. As we said – it’s all
about the balance. In the ancient China, the

people would say it’s all about the harmony
between the Yin and Yang – the force of defense and the force of attack.
