Once we make a balance between those two opposite forces, we would get the peace.
As we would mention that the IoT landscape is getting bigger and bigger and such a

technology is becoming available even in the developing societies – it’s getting clear
that the force of attack is increasing its

capacities and making a disbalance at the

global scale. So, could we do anything to
reduce that amount of threat being present

worldwide? The answer to this question

would seek a deep thinking from us and as
the impact we would get advices that would

mainly look for the better practice and more

Unluckily to all of us, there are still a lot of open questions that would require the

security of IoT technologies, cloud’s systems or production of new malware and creation

of the more serious phishing attacks. We are quite feared that the coming 2018 would

not offer such a sufficient amount of time to resolve all those worries. The encouraging
thing here would be if we could find some sort of the right approach that would support

challenges that would need time and effort to get handled appropriately. In our opinion,
the one year is not enough to get all these concerns being tackled, but let’s say it could

be a good starting point for making better decisions and defining the new tracks for
research and development. Every single mistake in this world could cost us a lot and

our opponents would know how to take advantage over our weaknesses, so we should

get ready to respond to such a situation.

Finally, the 2018 could be a good year to re-think everything and try to make new
