Mother of all 2013 security predictions

As usual, lot's of security predictions for the next year are coming out as this year is coming to its end. While I still stand behind my own (everlasting) predictions I made 2010, I thought it would be fun to check what's out there for 2013.

Since reading through all different predictions could be somewhat mind-numbing, I decided to put a bunch of security predictions together and created a word-cloud with Wordle to see what sticks out.

So, I combined ten security predictions for 2013 from Fortinet, F-Secure, Information Security Forum, Kaspersky, Microsoft, Sophos, Stonesoft, Symantec, Watchguard and Websense. Some vendors like to repeat their own name within predictions and I removed those self-promoting sentences to clean up the result a bit.

Here's the word-cloud of combined security predictions.

Based on that it seems that we need to prepare ourselves to malware attacks on mobile devices.
