With the rapid development of networking and security industries, here are some views on the most important technologies to look out for in 2015:

1. Security breaches are difficult to stop

Data leakage and security breaches will continue to cause trouble for most companies. Studies over the last 10-15 years have shown that new threats are answered quickly by a new defense system.  Once the threat evolves, a brand-new defense system is required. This has given rise to a variety of security appliances, management systems and software agents that in a number of cases are not able to talk to each other. The security architectures of the next generation will implement discrete security systems, which can work with threat life elements and crack the infection chain in various places.

2. Cloud technologies finally taking root

 All kinds of cloud are making their way inroad and are being an essential part of the enterprise infrastructure. Most organizations trust the security provider's capabilities and therefore, Software as a Service (SaaS) has reached a high point. For flexibility, infrastructure as a service (IaaS) still focuses on web application security services. Hybrid clouds, personal clouds and cloud bursting will cause more sharing of distributed management, services and security.

3. Variety in mobile apps and management

The market of mobile devices (handsets and tablets), unlike the PC market, are not dominated by Microsoft. There are at least two to three platforms across the world. This diversity means that management systems need to be more open and flexible. Enhanced JavaScript performance pushes the browser and HTML5, as the mainstream enterprise application development environment. This guides towards richer applications with more focus on usability, rather than cumbersome large applications.

4. Software defined modular infrastructure becomes the rule

The control layer is being separated and centralized for various parts of the infrastructure. Initial focus is mainly on virtualization of the data center, Software Defined Storage (SDS), Software Defined Networking (SDN) and standalone switch fabrics. The result is that API's are being used up at a much higher rate. In today's world, where the infrastructure is segmented and dissected, API's are important, but they also pose to be a potential security hole in the network element.

5. Wired access is being continuously replaced by wireless

Wireless access is a norm across most organizations. Enterprises in new building are mostly not wired. Wireless systems are now becoming the main network access mechanism, which means that an authentic system with tight integration is most essential. Wireless technology continues to get better with ac Wave 1 now coming out and Wave 2 being launched in 2015.
