The study of 614 senior-level security pros examines the topics shaping the future state of security. Respondents identified six mega trends and provided insight as to how each trend affects their businesses.

Bruce Schneier, Chief Technology Security Officer, BT

New Threats to the Internet Infrastructure Today's Internet threats are not technical; they're social and political.  They aren't criminals, hackers, or terrorists.  They're the government and corporate attempts to mold the Internet into what they want it to be, either to bolster their business models or facilitate social control. Right now, these two goals coincide, making it harder than ever to keep the Internet free and open.

Bruce Schneier is an internationally renowned security technologist, referred to by The Economist as a "security guru."  Schneier is the author of nine books -- including the best sellers Beyond Fear, Secrets and Lies, and Applied Cryptography -- as well as hundreds of articles and essays, and many more academic papers.  His influential newsletter "Crypto-Gram," and his blog "Schneier on Security," are read by over 250,000 people.  He has testified before Congress, is a frequent guest on television and radio, served on several government technical committees, and is regularly quoted in the press.  He is the Chief Security Technology Officer of BT.
