I think one of the biggest things I see is the portability of data and the protection of that data. With more and more people buying the latest "iSomething" and wanting to be able to get to all their work from it as well, data will be carried out of your environment, and to new places where it will get lost/stolen. Managing that will be a huge challenge for anyone in my opinion.

Mobile device and access policy and management. This technology will be as disruptive and hard to manage as the PC technology of the 80s. Security is just one component of the planning necessary to provide acceptable quality of service and risk. Though due to the rapid changes in the environment, "vision" may have to substitute for "planning"... as long as its not "hallucination". 2. Cloud services can be thought of as outsourced data storage and services. This has been managed in the past but not in nearly as open and self-service type of environment as today's. 3. Due to the complexities involved with 1 & 2, increasing demands for access, a continual lack of trustworthiness in vendor products and technology, and increasing sophistication and motivation of criminals, monitoring and early detection is going to need much more emphasis. Today's concentration on prevention, the assumption of trustworthiness, and belief that things can be "secured" will not meet the challenges of tomorrow.

I'm contemplating an information security roadmap for the next 5 years. I think there are some standard things to maintain on it like security awareness, disaster recovery, authentication, etc. but what would you add that might be developing areas in the next 5 years, cloud resource access control, policy modifications for SaaS?
