InfoSec Acronyms and hype come and go but for me, the most notable of 2017 is the absence of Bring Your Own Device. Are people still using their own gear with company data? Yes. Is the risk any less this year? No.
So why the sudden lack of focus on BYOD? Well, it’s been brutally replaced with acronym monsters GDPR and BREXIT where you feel like an idiot if you don’t what they mean. Don’t worry sooner or later some know-all will share his or her expert unsolicited opinion on the subject.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is poised to change the strategies for all Information security folk (Hobbyist, Pros, Good guys and Bad). But is this another hype like the Y2K Bug? And if so, what’s the big one for 2018-2019?
Without PR and marketing, we wouldn’t know what to be scared of and what to spend money on. In the meantime, I’ll sit up on the moral high ground in my sniper nest for a few months and watch the panic.
