Cyberoam Threat Research Labs foresees an increase in Client-side software exploits compared to the Server-side in the next few years.
 
In the times to come, Cyberoam predicts attacks, wherein the attackers will get more specific, both in terms of their objective and attack strategies. As per statistics, there were 198 cyber-attacks in 2012 and the numbers increased to 240 in 2013. Cyberoam predicts further rise in such attacks on ICS/SCADA networks in 2014 and beyond.
 
Cyberoam predicts an increase in demand for context-aware security for 2014 and security in Hybrid Cloud environments. The rising need in context-aware security goes in continuation with Cyberoam’s prediction in 2013 regarding the rise in need for User Threat Quotient and Device Threat Quotient.
