Boot System Image Lockdown
Full Data Drive Encryption
Invisible /Hidden Data drives

Here's what I've come up with so far:

*     Social Engineering will still be the easiest way to get confidential info> rmation.
*     Multi-factor security will be prevalent.
*     More data breach regulations.
*     PDAs and smart phones will be encrypted due to the sensitive email/ infor> mation that they store and how 
easily they are stolen.
*     Anti-virus software will be still used, but application white-listing wil> l become more prevalent.
