The advent of wearable technology has recently generated a number of creative products. Consumers check for email messages using "smart" watches and items of jewelry, or access the Web through Internet-connected glasses and Oculus-rift virtual reality headsets. Will these innovations reach the automotive industry soon? Many automakers hope so. Some firms have already launched programs to incorporate wearable technology into the daily lives of drivers. So many exciting projects exist now; listing all of them in a brief article proves impossible. Just consider a few of the more popular initiatives: Earlier this year, the European Union passed the General Data Protection Regulation - landmark legislation addressing data protection and privacy concerns. The regulations, which were ten years in the making, will take effect in 2018 and allow residents to decide how and when their data is collected and used. For example, if a super market issues a loyalty card that tracks your purchasing behavior, this regulation gives you rights as a customer to control the use of the data. The goal is to offer simple video editing with tools that appeal to millennials and upcoming generations-the people who grew up surrounded by social media. Young people love the capabilities provided by Snapchat, and Apple would like to tap into that market. It's plan would become a standalone app, but it may eventually be packaged with the iPhone's existing camera application. Last year, Fortinet's FortiGuard Labs global threat research team made a series of predictions about cyber threats in 2016. We are now halfway through the year, and thought this might be a good time to give an update on what we have seen so far for some of these predictions. As adoption of wearables becomes more mainstream in the Middle East, it brings added complexity to BYOD in an enterprise. One of the more interesting features of wearable tech is its ability to tether to, and control, smartphones over a remote connection. So even if wearables are denied access to enterprise networks, they may already be able to access it. Which means they can download and store company data. Many come with built-in cameras. This will understandably make IT departments worried. We're a couple years out on an unprecedented boom in broadband, with new wireless schemes, 5G, high-flying drones and constellations of satellites covering us in a mesh of data - if the media hype is to be believed. But all of these "new" ideas are the latest iterations of older ones that didn't make it past basic R&D. Put your faith in fiber, in my opinion, and be skeptical of everything else until there's a sustainable business going.
