Industry trends will drive organizations to shift much of their defensive emphasis from network controls to endpoint-, identity-, application-, and data-level controls. Technologies such as trusted virtualization and secure compartments, higher assurance identity (with privacy features), and application rating services (supported by rating services) could raise the bar.

Information risk management and information classification will also be of vital importance.
