Polishing the crystal ball - database security predictions for the next decade

Session Abstract:

The last decade will go down in history as the "data decade" - where data became the most important asset. It will also be remembered as the decade where huge data breaches swept every industry segment, in turn inspiring sweeping data privacy regulations across the globe. Those data breaches exposed the soft, vulnerable underbelly of today's complex IT systems, and unless we think differently, the risks may explode, with the potential to destabilize the global economy. Vipin will reflect on the cyber risks, attacks, and defensive tactics that defined the ten years, and share his top 10 predictions about data security as we move forward into the next decade.
