Denim Group Releases Security Trends for 2011 
 

Denim Group announced that they foresee shifts in the application security landscape in the coming year. As a trusted advisor to many Fortune 500 and large public sector organizations, the firm has just announced its guidance on the top application security trends for 2011:

1. Mobile applications security concerns will dominate headlines.

Enterprise organizations will face greater challenges deploying mobile applications, as they realize most mobile development is not up the rigorous standards of enterprise software security and industry compliance. As such, more headlines will dominate that catalog loss of customer data involving smartphone and tablet devices that are connected to the Internet.

 

2. Moving to the Cloud places enterprises at the mercy of corporate terms of service rather than the Constitution and Bill of Rights. 

As illustrated by the problems WikiLeaks had when Amazon.com evicted them after public pressure, organizations that rely on the cloud are at the mercy of their hosts' terms of service and do not have the same protections that can be expected from the government if they were to run their own infrastructure.

 

Relying on vendors' contracts of compliance and possible government regulation is far riskier than relying on 4th Amendment and other protections of due process. This places enterprises at greater risk from malicious overtures from corporate and government antagonists.
