What kind of year will 2008 be in security?
It will be average.
You know, average. Not as good as 2007, but better than 2009.
The people I know who administer large networks are starting to base their policies on assuming they've already been broken into.
Malware is apparently running ahead of anti-virus software, and the remote control software that enslaves your PC to criminals is getting sophisticated and hard to detect.
You can keep yourself better off than others by being street smart. These days the two most important things I can recommend are to keep your software up to date and to be really really careful about what software you download.
