Frost & Sullivan’s Security Predictions in 2015

LONDON: Anonymous threats and lone wolf attacks, increasing fears on cyber security and concerns over immigration will generate significant debate over foreign policy and how to mitigate the security risk posed by Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and other terrorist organisations. There will also be an increasing focus on how to manage the global cyber threat, including the growing concern of state sponsored involvement and complexity of attacks on private business. Domestic policy will continue to focus on protecting borders, limiting the movement of people from war zones or stemming illegal immigration. This issue will be a key political battleground in Europe especially with concerns over open borders and free movement of labour. The rise of nationalism is a particular concern.
