INTRODUCTION

PLUNKETT’S CYBERSECURITY, DIGITAL ID & ONLINE FRAUD INDUSTRY ALMANAC is designed to be used as a general source for researchers of all types. The data and areas of interest covered are intentionally broad, from the various types of businesses involved in cybersecurity, to the evolution of digital identification and online fraud, to an indepth look at the major for-profit firms (which we call “THE CYBERSECURITY 150”) within the many industry sectors that make up the cybersecurity arena. This reference book is designed to assist with market research, strategic planning, employment searches, contact or prospect list creation and financial research, and as a data resource for executives and students of all types. PLUNKETT’S CYBERSECURITY, DIGITAL ID & ONLINE FRAUD INDUSTRY ALMANAC takes a rounded approach for the general reader. This book presents a complete overview of the entire cybersecurity industry (see “How To Use This Book”). For example, the surge in digital ID and online fraud, the reason why passwords should never be reused and the advance of using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in anti-fraud technologies.

THE CYBERSECURITY 150 is our unique grouping of the fastest growing, most successful corporations in all segments of the cybersecurity industry. Tens of thousands of pieces of information, gathered from a wide variety of sources, have been researched and are presented in a unique form that can be easily understood. This section includes thorough indexes to THE CYBERSECURITY 150, by geography, industry, sales, brand names, subsidiary names and many other topics. (See Chapter 4.) Especially helpful is the way in which PLUNKETT’S CYBERSECURITY, DIGITAL ID & ONLINE FRAUD INDUSTRY ALMANAC enables readers who have no business background to readily compare the financial records and growth plans of cybersecurity companies and major industry groups. You’ll see the mid-term financial record of each firm, along with the impact of earnings, sales and strategic plans on each company’s potential to fuel growth, to serve new markets and to provide investment and employment opportunities. No other source provides this book’s easy-tounderstand comparisons of growth, expenditures, technologies, corporations and many other items of great importance to people of all types who may be studying this, one of the most complex industries in the world today. By scanning the data groups and the unique indexes, you can find the best information to fit your personal

and internet site addresses for the companies, government agencies and industry associations involved so that the reader may get further details without unnecessary delay.

research needs. The major companies in the cybersecurity industry are profiled and then ranked using several different groups of specific criteria. Which firms are the biggest employers? Which companies earn the most profits? These things and much more are easy to find.

•

In addition to individual company profiles, an overview of cybersecurity, markets and trends is provided. This book’s job is to help you sort through easy-to-understand summaries of today’s trends in a quick and effective manner.

Tables of industry data and statistics used in this book include the latest numbers available at the time of printing, generally through mid-2022. In a few cases, the only complete data available was for earlier years.

•

We have used exhaustive efforts to locate and fairly present accurate and complete data. However, when using this book or any other source for business and industry information, the reader should use caution and diligence by conducting further research where it seems appropriate. We wish you success in your endeavors, and we trust that your experience with this book will be both satisfactory and productive.

Whatever your purpose for researching the cybersecurity field, you’ll find this book to be a valuable guide. Nonetheless, as is true with all resources, this volume has limitations that the reader should be aware of: •

Financial data and other corporate information can change quickly. A book of this type can be no more current than the data that was available as of the time of editing. Consequently, the financial picture, management and ownership of the firm(s) you are studying may have changed since the date of this book. For example, this almanac includes the most up-to-date sales figures and profits available to the editors as of early-2023. That means that we have typically used corporate financial data as of the end of 2022.

•

Corporate mergers, acquisitions and downsizing are occurring at a very rapid rate. Such events may have created significant change, subsequent to the publishing of this book, within a company you are studying.

•

Some of the companies in THE CYBERSECURITY 150 are so large in scope and in variety of business endeavors conducted within a parent organization, that we have been unable to completely list all subsidiaries, affiliations, divisions and activities within a firm’s corporate structure.

•

This volume is intended to be a general guide to a quickly changing industry. That means that researchers should look to this book for an overview and, when conducting in-depth research, should contact the specific corporations or industry associations in question for the very latest changes and data. Where possible, we have listed contact names, toll-free telephone numbers

Introduction to the Cybersecurity, Digital ID & Online Fraud Industry Cybersecurity software giant McAfee estimated the global cost of cybercrime to the economy (on a broad basis, including system downtime, reduced efficiency and brand/reputation damage, plus money invested by enterprises and individuals to deter such crimes) at $1+ trillion for 2020, up more than 50% from 2018. Analysts at Gartner estimated the global market for information security and risk management at $172.5 billion for 2022. One mid2021 estimate by the U.S. Department of Commerce was that 500,000 unfilled cybersecurity jobs existed in the U.S. alone. Plunkett Research estimates spending on cybersecurity throughout the U.S. economy at $63+ billion for 2022, on a broad basis, including U.S. Government spending on cybersecurity during fiscal 2022, at $23.1+ billion. (In addition to U.S. federal initiatives focused specifically on cybersecurity, there are multiple federal organizations involved in intelligence—virtually all of which have an interest

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

in cybersecurity or cybercrime, including the FBI and several units within the Defense Department.) As large as they may be, these numbers fail to emphasize the need by national, state and local governments to improve cybersecurity, especially in the United States, where myriad hacks of files containing sensitive information on U.S. government workers, defense systems, classified scientific and defense research files and other systems show how vulnerable the U.S. is to bad actors based overseas. (Cybercriminals exist everywhere, including in North America and the EU, but the most difficult to deter are thought by some analysts to be in Asia-particularly Africa, North Korea, China, Iran and Russia.) Major cyberattacks have included the theft of 21 million records of employees (who had high levels of security clearance) from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management—attributed by some security analysts to hackers in China; criminal access to important U.S. nuclear laboratories, government offices and networks of top corporations—attributed by some analysts to hackers located in Russia; an alleged 2019 hack of more than 1 billion pieces of consumer data from the servers of Alibaba; an alleged 2021 hack of data on 700 million users of business-social media site LinkedIn; many instances of major hacks of credit card holders’ data files; and the infamous hack of roughly 143 million files containing vital personal data on U.S. consumers held by credit bureau Equifax. Likewise, the immense losses to fraud by COVID-related support and aid programs in the U.S., such as PPP loans and unemployment benefits (these COVID-era frauds may have totaled as much as $300 billion—no one really knows), highlight the need for much greater attention to security for government systems. The U.S. Government does operate a Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and its budget has been growing. Also, the government is beginning to focus on advanced techniques, including multi-factor authentication for government account and network logins, “zero trust” policies to govern networks, systems and devices, as well as the need to develop responses to the likely capabilities of advanced quantum computers in the future. However, governments tend to move slowly, and it remains to be seen what policies and investments will actually take place over the long term.

The Threat of Quantum Computing One of the biggest looming advances in computing power is called quantum computing. It is potentially a massive breakthrough in computing speed and the ability of special computers to process immense amounts of data. This technology utilizes the power of quantum mechanics. Progress has been continuous, to the point that quantum computing services are already available, to a limited extent, for advanced research. Such systems will be particularly useful for data analytics and artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, this means they will be ideal for use by hackers, as they could be capable of breaking into today’s level of data encryption techniques, making digital file protection much more difficult. This makes quantum computing one of the single greatest cyberthreats of the near future. Corporations and enterprises, such as hospital groups and even Fortune 500 firms, have likewise proven to be hackable on a large scale, leading to debilitating ransomware demands as well as the outright theft of vital trade secrets, intellectual property and top-secret files. Many enterprises, including Bank of America, spend over $1 billion yearly on cybersecurity. In 2021, as a result of a White House cybersecurity conference, Google announced it would boost spending on cybersecurity over five years to $10 billion and will train 100,000 Americans in areas such as IT support and data analytics through its Career Certificate Program. IBM stated it will train 150,000 people in cybersecurity over three years. Microsoft’s CEO said it will spend $20 billion to boost availability of advanced security tools and will help government agencies upgrade their security systems. Despite these massive investments, businesses and consumers alike, worldwide, are daily bombarded with billions of scam attempts, fraudulent robo-phone calls, email phishing attempts and hundreds of billions of daily network hack attempts. There is a crying need to invest and innovate more to protect digital security, to do it quickly and to do so much more efficiently and effectively.

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

Better user habits, better solutions and increased investment in cyberfraud deterrence are needed in many areas. For example: • Working from home by knowledge workers boomed, and to a large extent that practice will continue. This means that at-home workers need better antivirus solutions and better practices, while the enterprise-level networks they log into need much more effective user authentication and threat detection/deterrence for systems and servers. The rapidly growing use of the cloud by enterprises makes this all the more vital. • Consumers have, to a big degree, accelerated their adoption of ecommerce as well as online management of financial accounts. Such online activities and systems have opened the door to much greater risk from fraud. (This includes the theft of billions of dollars’ worth of cybercurrencies from online accounts, even though the keys to those cybercurrencies are encrypted.) • Fraudsters are learning how to take better advantage of the proliferation of mobile devices and related apps to commit scams and take over accounts. • Continued rapid growth in cloud computing and remote file storage means that more and more data is susceptible to theft and manipulation by hackers and fraudsters. • The so-called “dark web” has grown exponentially, thanks to massive hacks at systems including government agencies and credit bureaus—making it simple for fraudsters to anonymously purchase vast quantities of personal login and ID information at modest cost, including name, address, Social Security number, driver’s license number, passport number, username and password.

Today’s heightened need for enhanced cybersecurity will boost demand for: Better digital identity (Digital ID) technologies. Artificial intelligence- and machine learningbased tools. Stronger network security, such as enhanced firewalls. Better personal device security, including for mobile devices.

Security platforms that deploy multiple avenues of deterrence from one vendor, such as Digital ID, multi-factor authentication, antivirus, network-wide security hardware/software and constant monitoring and vigilance. Virtual private networks (VPNs).

The Coronavirus’ Effect on the Cybersecurity and Digital ID Industry One of the most dramatic changes caused by the Coronavirus pandemic was an immediate boom in online activity of all types, from ecommerce to streaming of entertainment to wider adoption of online access to financial tools, as well as utilization of online education. This soaring activity put a severe strain on many existing networks and systems. Unfortunately, it also opened up vast new opportunities for cyberfraud, particularly in the U.S., where trillions of dollars in new government support was offered almost immediately, to businesses, education, households and cities. Much of this aid and support was in the form of easy-to-get business loans, unemployment benefits and household welfare payments. Criminals correctly saw this as a vast opportunity, in particular an opportunity to create false identities or otherwise fraudulent applications for funds. Government systems were overwhelmed and under-protected. Fraud in the PPP (Payroll Protection Program) small business program alone was likely in the $100 billion range. In addition, enhanced unemployment benefits were offered, spurring claims fraud likely totaling from $100 billion to $200 billion or more— no one really knows the correct amount. (A U.S. Department of Labor estimate was at least $163 billion in improper and fraudulent payments, among payouts totaling about $900 billion.) Much of this fraud was conducted using fake or stolen identities—basic areas that proper cybersecurity tools combat.

Elsewhere, fraudulent activity increased at ecommerce companies and financial companies. Email-based scams proliferated. Ransomware ran rampant—abusing small businesses, large businesses, hospitals and local governmental units. Meanwhile, knowledge workers began working from home in unprecedented numbers. This created millions of new weak points in enterprise security, as these workers’ own devices, their internet activities and their methods of logging into work-related networks created new opportunities for criminals to hack into major systems. As a result, global demand for enhanced cybersecurity solutions and better online identity (digital ID) technologies is soaring. There is every reason to think that demand will continue to be extremely strong, and that enterprises and government organizations of all types will spend immense amounts of time and money on cybercrime prevention. 3)

Digital ID and Login Authentication Fraud Soars/Sophisticated Technologies and Databases Respond The increased necessity of digital IDs for consumers and businesses, enabling access to networks and online accounts has, unfortunately, been met with an increase in fraud. As with most instances of cybercrime, a primary motivation for digital ID fraud is financial gain, accomplished via a wide variety of methods, including account takeover (ATO), email account compromise and synthetic identity. Additionally, several national governments are transitioning to digital ID systems, providing a unique ID for each citizen, creating new potential for digital ID frauds. Even some U.S. states are now offering digital drivers’ licenses. Traditional avenues for digital ID fraud include phishing scams and information hacks. Another method is targeting digital IDs that have weak passwords, or passwords that are utilized over and over again by one consumer on multiple accounts, out of laziness or ignorance of the potential risks. Some criminals commit fraud by targeting minors’ IDs since they usually do not have very strong authentication factors due to privacy laws and/or lack of credit history or in-name cellphone ownership. (Wireless phone account ownership databases are commonly used as real-time verification of a user’s identity.) Minors are also more likely to freely give out personal information

www.plunkettresearch.com

that can be used for authentication, on social media or other online communities. A good starting point for taking on digital ID fraud is through strong login authentication credentials and systems. Login authentication is a primary point of contact between cybercriminals and a business or service provider. In an attempt to stop fraud at this stage, there are several authentication options that can be implemented, either individually as single-factor authentication (SFA) or in succession with multifactor authentication (MFA). These strategies go beyond a simple password to include: • Biometrics. • Geolocation (including an account owner’s most commonly used GPS-identified location). • Behavioral Authentication (e.g., keyboard click habits and speed). • Real-Time Risk Scoring Against Public and Private Databases (including credit bureau files, private data such as wireless accounts records, and government records such as a driver’s license). Ultimately, the use of multiple layers of authentication provides a better security environment for combating digital ID fraud. At the same time, systems operators, particularly in ecommerce, do not want to create so much “friction,” or layers of login steps, that users become frustrated and abandon shopping carts and online forms. 4)

Password Reuse Enables Fraud/The Dark Web and Credential Stuffing Our online world comes with a vast number of conveniences that seemed unimaginable a few years ago, from fast food delivered at one’s door, to instant help with tonight’s math homework. The level and variety of services available to all consumers and businesses expands continuously, but this soaring growth also increases the need for strong, unique passwords. Given the large number of online accounts that a single consumer can accumulate (approximately 20 for streaming movies, TV and sports alone) it is unfortunately typical for users to fail to practice strong password habits. Reusing one password across multiple accounts and websites is one of the most common and riskiest blunders—putting a consumer at big risk for data breaches, identity theft, account takeover and fraud, any of which can promptly lead to tens of thousands of dollars in

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

losses. (Workers at business are likewise often guilty of password reuse.) What’s worse, no matter how advanced a web platform’s security might be, it means little if passwords are reused by consumers. A type of cyberattack known as credential stuffing takes advantage of password reuse to take over consumer and business financial accounts. Credential stuffing works by using autonomous systems (bots) to gain access to accounts through stolen usernames and passwords. Hundreds of millions of account credentials are stolen yearly through data breaches, and then sold to fraudsters via the dark web for as little as one dollar each. Special automated login bots test the stolen credentials over numerous websites until access is granted—leading to account takeover. In 2020 alone, 193 billion credential stuffing attacks took place, according to Akamai Technologies, Inc., a cybersecurity and cloud service company. How can credential stuffing be stopped? In a perfect world, users would simply create strong, unique passwords for each account and website, and then update them regularly. People are busy, and taking time for password updates is not always the priority it should be. More effort is needed since consumers alone are not the only parties involved. Password manager services can automatically create and store strong, unique passwords for consumers. Also, online system operators can implement a number of options to help reduce the impact of credential stuffing: •

• •

•

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) - A user is granted access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence to a login authentication system (such as a six-digit code sent by text message to the user when a log in is attempted). Secondary Credentials – This includes an extra password, PIN, security question answered or piece of personal data provided. Strong Credential Encryption – A user’s password is encrypted before it is stored in an online system’s database, so that it is useless to thieves if they manage to hack the platform and steal all of the customer data stored there. CAPTCHA or reCAPTCHA - A challengeresponse test used to determine whether a user is human (as opposed to an automated log in attempt by a bot), usually by requiring the human user to replicate a string of distorted alphanumeric characters or identify similar

objects in a field of images. This deters some kinds of bots. IP Black-Listing – A system will block an IP address (the web identifier address of the system from which a log in attempt is originating) after many failed log in attempts. Device Fingerprinting – A verification method that identifies an authentic user’s device (such as a smartphone or laptop) as the device from which the user typically logs in to an account. To use another device, user verification must be reestablished. Unique Usernames – Shifting away from utilizing the user’s email address as a username over and over again on various web sites. The better alternative is to create unique usernames in addition to unique passwords. Stronger Passwords — Too many passwords are either very simple or fairly easy to guess. Consumers should avoid creating passwords based on personal details that are readily available on their social media accounts, such as the names of their pets or children.

Through joint efforts by consumers and online security systems providers, the impact of credential stuffing and credentials theft can be greatly reduced. As a first step, consumers have to be willing to take the responsibility for setting strong, unique passwords. 5)

Online Fraud/Payments Fraud Evolve and Adapt Continuously Online fraud and payment fraud continue to adapt to meet or overcome security advances. In other words, cybersecurity experts and systems managers are under constant pressure to improve security and deter new threats. Of great appeal to criminals is the fact that they can conduct this fraud at the place and time of their own convenience, anywhere in the world. That is, a fraudster working from Nigeria can easily steal in the U.K., Australia and Canada, all in one day, without leaving home. Identity Theft: Identity theft is the act of utilizing a person's (or a business's) name and other vital data in order to set up fraudulent accounts, borrow money and otherwise commit fraud. Identity fraud remains popular because it offers a wide variety of possible venues to hack and defraud, from the obvious bank and credit card accounts to health care accounts, loyalty rewards such as airline points and myriad government benefit programs, from Social Security to welfare, unemployment and disaster relief.

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

(Hundreds of billions of dollars were stolen in the U.S. alone from state and federal programs aimed at providing Covid-related aid and support in 2020 and 2021, including PPP loans and unemployment claims.) In addition to crimes committed against large organizations, an abundance of poor cybersecurity systems at the websites of such groups as religious institutions and small-town governments makes identity theft difficult to counter for organizations that are poorly equipped to deal with either the threats or the financial losses. According to the FTC, credit card theft was the most common type of identity theft in 2020 and 2021. Phishing: A significant portion of all online scams are launched by links in emails or attachments to emails. Often, these scams appear legitimate enough that they lure an individual into providing vital account information that enables a fraudster to take over an account. For example, a “password reset required” scam might appear to come from a trusted vendor such as a bank, asking the receiver to enter the existing password and enter a new password. The net effect is to hand the actual, existing password over to the fraudster. Once logged in, the cybercriminal can move funds, steal a person’s ID or both. Microsoft recently reported that it is deterring in excess of 1,000 password attacks per second in its systems. Malware: Malware is any software designed to cause disruption to a computer, server, client, or computer network, leak private information, gain unauthorized access to information or systems, deprive users access to information or otherwise interfere with the user's computer security and privacy. Unlike phishing, malware is something that can be encountered in a number of ways, not solely from scam emails or websites. Malware is often downloaded by an unwitting user, by clicking on an infected website link, an infected link in an email or an infected email attachment. Malware often runs in the background for some period of time, completely unbeknownst to the user until a cybercrime is committed. Mules: A money mule is someone who transfers or moves illegally acquired money on behalf of someone else. Criminals recruit money mules to help launder proceeds derived from online scams and frauds, or crimes like human trafficking and drug trafficking. Money mules add layers of distance between crime victims and criminals, which makes it harder for law enforcement to accurately trace money trails. Money mules can move funds in various ways, including through bank accounts,

www.plunkettresearch.com

cashier’s checks, virtual currency, prepaid debit cards, or gift cards. Botnets: A botnet is launched via a powerful computer or a number of Internet-connected devices, each of which runs one or more bots. Botnets can be used to perform Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks (where a massive number of log in attempts, or attempts at using online forms, overwhelms a website and its server, thus effectively shutting it down to legitimate users), steal data, send spam and allow the attacker to access the device and its connections. The botnet’s owner can monitor the botnet using command and control software. Business Email Compromise (BEC)/Bank Wire (ACH) Fraud: BEC scams, also known as “Man in the Middle” scams, are sophisticated strategies targeting businesses that regularly perform wire transfer payments. The scam is carried out by compromising legitimate business email accounts, through social engineering or computer intrusion techniques, in order to conduct unauthorized transfers of funds. ACH fraud involves any unauthorized funds transfer that occurs from a bank account. Oftentimes, these attacks originate from phishing attacks with malware or ransomware that result in fraudulent entry to a secure system. These crimes can result in large amounts of rerouted, stolen funds. Because many of the more serious and common wire fraud attacks involve international funds transfers, it is important to be especially diligent in monitoring and authenticating these types of bank wires. Ransomware: A type of malicious software, or malware, that prevents an individual, or even an entire organization, from accessing computer files, systems, or networks and demands that the device owner pay a ransom for the "keys" that will unlock the "encrypted" files. Ransomware attacks cause costly disruptions to vital operations and the loss of critical data. They can bring organizations that depend highly on computerization to a complete standstill, as has been recently seen at major hospitals, universities, city governments and pipeline systems. Individuals can unknowingly download ransomware by opening an infected email attachment, clicking an ad, following a link, or even visiting a website that's embedded with malware. Once the code is loaded on a computer, it will lock access to data files. The most menacing versions can encrypt files and folders on local drives, attached drives and even networked computers.

Network Anti-Fraud Technologies Advance, Including use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning Although cyber fraud tends to focus on login credentials or vital personal information, other avenues for criminal activity also exist. With the expansion of digital networks and the Internet of Things (IoT), connected devices can act as an access point for cybercriminals. For example, a smart refrigerator, webcam, digital door lock or wireless printer can be a significant security risk to a household or business, especially when simple to hack passwords can be utilized to gain access to peripheral devices attached to networks. (Massive data breaches have occurred at businesses in this manner.) This risk has only increased with the shift to remote and hybrid work environments because of the Coronavirus pandemic. The practice of hacking poorly secured or unsecured networked devices is sometimes called “island hopping.” A cybercriminal will focus on undermining a company or individual’s security by targeting vulnerable elements instead of attacking directly, thus getting inside a network from a connected device. While user vigilance is always best, a number of security options exist for consumers and businesses to protect their computer networks and networked devices. One of the most familiar methods of network security is a firewall. Essentially, a firewall is a barrier between a private network and the internet. Recent advances in AI and machine learning have made firewalls more than just passive barriers. All devices on a network should go through a firewall. A next-generation firewall (NGFW) uses intelligent technologies to improve threat detection capabilities by incorporating the context status of a user, content and applications. NGFWs are quickly becoming an industry standard and are even available for private consumer use. Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are another popular method for establishing secure networks for businesses and individuals. VPNs work by extending a private connection into a public network, meaning that data shared across the VPN remains more secure, even if it is technically using the public internet. VPNs are known for their popularity in protecting user privacy, which makes them popular for business and consumers, but troublesome for any government that likes to track or block online behavior by its citizens.

www.plunkettresearch.com

Advances in AI and machine learning are currently being applied to VPN technology. Nextgeneration VPNs are expected to provide network administrators with better control and security when accessing both cloud and centralized networks. They are also expected to be easier to set up and configure. Another improvement is IP tunneling. This increases the scope of data encryption provided by the VPN. Advanced VPNs will automatically provide alerts and block malicious connections. These advances will also make next-gen VPNs more in line with zero trust security models. SPOTLIGHT: Zero Trust Zero Trust is a strategy wherein networks should never automatically assume that anything either within or outside the network is valid or trustworthy. This requires continual user authentication at a technically advanced level. That is, access to an account or a network should not be provided until authorization and identity are well verified. This verification can be against a database of multiple ID factors. For example, a user with a verified username/password should be attempting access from a device that is typically utilized by that person, in a geolocation that is typical and from an IP address that is not blacklisted. Any access attempt that doesn't pass such real-time tests should be forced to pass through additional, stringent verification steps. 7)

Online Fraud Often Begins with New Account Setup or Account Takeover A great deal of the fraud committed online is targeted at a handful of industries, including banking, credit cards/lending, investments, utilities, insurance, wireless accounts and healthcare. These frauds often involve synthetic identity, that is, the practice of patiently establishing credentials and a credit record for a person who doesn’t actually exist. Account takeovers are also very prevalent, where fraudsters gain information about a consumer and then take over the consumer’s financial accounts, loyalty accounts or other assets. This might be easily accomplished where a username and password has been hacked and is for sale on the dark web. The use of multi-factor authentication can help deter this problem—such as a special code that is pushed to a consumer’s smartphone by text, which changes each time an attempt is made to enter the account. Smart fobs, such as Google’s Titan Security Key (cloud.google.com/titan-security-key), or smart apps

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

such as Cisco’s Duo (duo.com/product), provide even better protection. SIM swap fraud, which is a takeover of the SIM cards that identify the phone number and account validity of smartphones, is an immense risk. In this type of fraud, the thief typically learns as much as possible about a consumer via social media pages or email phishing, and then dials into a wireless service provider’s call center and convincingly impersonates the consumer by correctly answering personal questions. The thief then convinces the operator to switch the victim’s mobile number to a SIM card on a phone controlled by the thief. This enables the thief to receive all incoming texts and calls, such as account access verification codes. Elsewhere, fraud risks abound in insurance underwriting, health care claims and government benefit claims. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a viable answer to many of these issues, and smart companies are rapidly improving cybersecurity software offerings based on AI. For example, a firm called FRISS (www.friss.com) has provided its AI-based insurance claims fraud detection software solution to hundreds of insurance underwriters around the world. Such AI technologies look for patterns that can sort out criminal activities from the typical activities of valid customers and claims with tremendous accuracy. The AI measures and evaluates risks on-the-fly and determines whether or not to approve account activities. AI and machine learning-based solutions are typically offered via the cloud, on a software-as-aservice (SaaS) basis. This means that they can be continuously upgraded and enhanced by the software provider. The enterprises utilizing the SaaS can typically customize the solution, dialing up or dialing down the risk indicators that are of the greatest importance to them, and the level of risk they are willing to accept before accepting, say, a new online account that appears to be from a potentially risky geolocation, or a consumer whose ID is difficult to verify on-the-fly when compared to databases of credit records or wireless account holders (both common methods of verifying ID.) 8)

Voice, Face & Image Recognition Change the Wireless World, Enhanced Through Artificial Intelligence (AI) With the advent of voice recognition via Siri, Apple’s virtual personal iPhone assistant, the wireless market changed irrevocably. Siri not only

www.plunkettresearch.com

translates spoken words into text in the form of emails, text messages and reminders, it responds to voice commands for such tasks as making phone calls, and it searches the internet for answers to spoken questions. Siri created a major boost to both business and consumer interest in voice recognition. Significant advancements in voice recognition on the latest smartphone software from Microsoft, Apple and other leading firms continue to be introduced. Using technology originally developed by Nuance Communications as an app, Siri and similar technologies turn voice recognition capability into a mobile everyday tool. It understands natural language including colloquialisms and some nuances of context. For example, ask Siri “Will the weather be nice?” and the response might be “No, probably not so nice today through this Wednesday,” along with the display of the local weather forecast for the next six days. Ask it to find the calorie count in a Big Mac and Siri searches online for nutritional information from McDonald’s and displays it. Siri continues to evolve with subsequent updates to Apple’s mobile operating system. Siri’s voice can now be either male or female, there are new animations, and the system has faster response times. In addition, Siri checks more sources for answers to queries, and performs more tasks such as returning calls, voicemail playback and controlling iTunes Radio. This technology has been incorporated in Apple’s HomePod digital assistant, intended to compete with similar products pioneered by Google and Amazon. Most importantly, these technologies rely on artificial intelligence and machine learning in order to continuously improve accuracy and capabilities. Smartphones are only the beginning of the voice recognition revolution. This capability is rapidly being added to all types of electronics, appliances and much more. Voice recognition is already available in advanced entertainment systems in many automobiles. The fuel for this trend will be state-of-the-art technologies that are available to third-party developers, including Microsoft’s Cortana, Google’s Home and Amazon’s Lex (Alexa, which powers the extremely popular Amazon Echo digital assistant device.) The newest smartphones have cutting-edge cameras capable of scanning 3-D objects. Samsung and Apple both offer models (the Galaxy and the iPhone respectively) with cameras that can scan faces to unlock phone screens, rather than relying on fingerprint recognition or a manually typed

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

passcode. In the near future, smartphone cameras will be able to scan text and translate it into different languages. Apple acquired PrimeSense, a company that developed depth-sensing camera systems used in Microsoft’s Kinect motion-sensitive devices, to help build its face recognition technology. OpenAI (openai.com) created GPT-3, or Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3. It uses language-processing algorithms mined from roughly 570 gigabytes of data gathered by internet crawling, enabling it to answer questions, write essays and summaries, translate languages, create memos or program computer code. Elsewhere, the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2, allenai.org) developed a model that can create images from a text caption. In the same vein, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill’s scientists came up with a method that combines images with existing language models, resulting in amped up reading comprehension. These are breakthroughs that will greatly enhance machines’ ability to perform complex tasks. Unfortunately, facial recognition is vulnerable to cyberattack. A common practice by scammers is to print a photo of a person’s face, cut out the eyes, and use the altered image as a mask (many recognition systems scan for eye movement). Another method is to use software to combine facial characteristics from different people to form a new identity with a “Frankenstein face.” This can be a part of “synthetic identity fraud”—setting up an entirely new, false identity, including name, address and various types of accounts, sometimes with an engineered face added. Identity verification company ID.me, Inc. (www.id.me) reported more than 80,000 attempts on U.S. state workforce agencies to fraudulently claim unemployment benefits between June 2020 and January 2021 using masks or AI generated images. 9)

Smart Cities Utilize Sensors and Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Create Privacy and Security Issues A growing number of cities around the world are investing in sensors, software and networks that monitor everything from noise, to road traffic, to air quality and pedestrian movement. These “smart cities” analyze reams of data and adjust a wide variety of services to maximize efficiency and minimize waste in a number of sectors including energy (such as street lighting), infrastructure, transportation, mobility and architecture/construction. Data generated by these sensors and systems will rely on both the Internet of

www.plunkettresearch.com

things (IoT) and machine learning to greatly enhance efficiencies in the way that people live, work, shop and commute. For example, networks of embedded sensors are reducing energy consumption by streetlights and traffic signals. The city of Copenhagen led the way with a cutting-edge wireless network of streetlamps and sensors. Bike lanes are marked with embedded green lights that sense oncoming cyclists and illuminate long enough for riders to proceed safely through (called the “Green Wave”). LED streetlights brighten as vehicles approach and then dim when traffic passes. Smartphone apps alert drivers to light changes to ease congestion. Other cities and communities are following suit. Los Angeles is switching to outdoor LED lighting with traffic sensors that detect congestion and synchronize signals. In Barcelona, sensors alert garbage collectors only when trash containers are full. Parking-space sensors transmit data to drivers via smartphone apps as to where available spaces are, reducing the need to spend time and fuel looking for spots. Barcelona’s bus service has been updated to run on a more efficient route structure, increasing ridership 30% in four years. Monitors in streetlights can track noise and crowd movement, even alerting police to crowds when necessary. The city of Boston has instituted similar sensors, while Hamburg’s port computerized its loading systems to streamline offloading and reduce traffic jams. Singapore is also deploying sensors for virtual mapping, vehicle tracking, crowd measurement and the level of cleanliness in public places. The McKinsey Global Institute conducted a recent study in which it found that smart city applications could reduce fatalities by 8%-10%; accelerate emergency response times by 20%-35%; cut average commutes by 15%-20%; lower the disease burden by 8%-15%; and cut greenhouse gas emissions by 10%-15%. McKinsey Global estimates that by 2025, cities that adopt such smart technologies will save up to $1.7 trillion per year on all city services. Sensor manufacturers, software companies and data analysis firms, including IBM, Cisco and Microsoft, are rushing to get in on the smart city bonanza. Top technology firms like Google and its parent firm called Alphabet are well aware of the business potential from these trends. Alphabet has a subsidiary called Sidewalk Labs that is working closely with U.S. cities to develop cutting edge, technology-based services that can ease car and

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

truck traffic congestion, improve pedestrian flow and make cities safer and more enjoyable. In this regard, Sidewalk Labs has developed a software platform called Flow, aimed at diagnosing traffic patterns and avoiding congestion. The U.S. Department of Transportation launched, in December 2015, an initiative called Smart City Challenge, with a grant of $40 million to the city that submitted the best proposal for implementation of smart city technologies within a given locale. Sidewalk Labs worked with the finalists to refine their proposals. It was a joint learning exercise that helped Sidewalk Labs better understand the goals of the cities and helped the cities to better understand the potential of traffic analysis sensors and software. Columbus, Ohio was awarded the $40 million with a plan to deploy three self-driving electric shuttles to link a bus rapid transit center and a retail district, as well as using data analytics to improve health access in a neighborhood with an abnormally high infant mortality rate. Also, Columbus plans to create what it calls a “Smart Columbus Operating System.” It will be focused on transportation at first but may be widely expanded in the future. The city won an additional $10 million from the late Paul Allen’s Vulcan, Inc. and $90 million from a number of private partners. A proposed $50 million project in Toronto, Canada hoped to transform 12 flood-prone acres called Quayside into a testing area for urban problem solving. (Initially, the plan also included the adjacent 150-acre River District.) Sidewalk Labs was working with government agency Waterfront Toronto to test technologies including robotics, thermal power generation and self-driving vehicles. For example, robots could be used to deliver packages and haul away trash using underground tunnels. Private cars would not be allowed in the area, with robo-taxis and self-driving vehicles providing transportation. Some buildings are to be made of wood prefabricated in a Sidewalk-funded factory and meet exacting environmental standards. Automatic awnings would extend during wet weather and walking paths would quickly melt snow. Beneath the ground, Quayside would build a digital layer of sensors to monitor use of everything from streets to sidewalks to park benches, in addition to noise levels and water and power consumption. Smart city detractors are concerned about privacy issues. In the case of Quayside, some people criticize the plan as a way for Sidewalk Labs’ parent company Google to expand its surveillance

www.plunkettresearch.com

reach from internet searches into the physical world. The project was scaled back in late 2019 after a vote by Canadian government agency Waterfront Toronto unanimously limited the project to its original 12 acres. The agency announced plans to further evaluate the project. Privacy and Cybersecurity Issues with Smart City Networks, Devices and Data Maintaining individual citizens’ privacy is a major issue for smart city initiatives in the EU, U.S. and Canada. The use of cameras to monitor foot traffic and vehicle traffic patterns implies the ability to capture data on the exact location of people (facial recognition) and their vehicles (license plates) at a given time and place. That includes where a trip (or walk) may have started, what stops were made and where the trip ended. The possibilities for abuse are endless. For example, if criminals hack into such systems, they could monitor the locations and habits of people to target for sex abuse (including children), kidnapping, blackmail or mugging. There are many issues to resolve in this area, and one of the most vital is making smart city networks safe from intruders. Asia and Europe generally dominate the smart city trend, although interest is high in the U.S. and Canada. For example, Singapore’s Smart Nation Vision is a widely copied model for smart city development. Dubai also set a high standard for smart city evolution with heavy emphasis on IoT. SPOTLIGHT: Top Cities Adopting Smart City Strategies are Typically Agreed to Include: Many analysts are attempting to evaluate special city-wide efforts to adopt smart city projects. Top cities listed often include: • Singapore, Singapore • Dubai, UAE • Seoul, S. Korea • Helsinki, Finland • Oslo, Norway • Copenhagen, Denmark • Boston, Mass., U.S. • Amsterdam, Netherlands • New York City, NY., U.S. • London, UK • Barcelona, Spain • Hong Kong, Hong Kong

10) The Internet of Things (IoT) and M2M to Boom, Enhanced by Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Open New Avenues for Hacking The phrase “Internet of Things” or “IoT” will become increasingly commonplace. It refers to wireless communications known as M2M or machine-to-machine. M2M can be as simple as a refrigerator that lets a smartphone app know when you are running low on milk (via Wi-Fi) to a vast, exceedingly complex network of wireless devices connecting all of the devices in a massive factory. Analysts at network device giant Cisco expected M2M connections to grow dramatically and rapidly, to 14.7 billion by 2023. A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of a grouping of remote sensors that transmit data wirelessly to a receiver that is collecting information into a database. Special controls may alert the network’s manager to changes in the environment, traffic or hazardous conditions within the vicinity of the sensors. Long-term collection of data from remote sensors can be used to establish patterns and make predictions, as well as to manage surveillance in real time. Another term that is coming into wide use is M2M2P or machine-to-machine-to-people. The “to-people” part refers to the fact that consumers, workers and professionals will increasingly be actively involved in the gathering of data, its analysis and its usage. For example, M2M2P systems that automatically collect data from patients’ bedsides; analyze, chart and store that data; and make the data available to doctors or nurses so that they may take any necessary actions are becoming increasingly powerful. Such systems, part of the growing trend of electronic health records (EHR), can also include bedside comments spoken into tablet computers by physicians that are transcribed automatically by voice recognition software and then stored into EHR.

Connected Devices are a Notorious Channel for Hackers’ Entry into Networks and Data The Internet of Things (IoT) is a vital component of machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and will become even more important with the rollout of fast, urban 5G wireless networks. IoT sensors, monitors and cameras can gather the types of data that can make cities more efficient (in a wide range of areas, from traffic flow to lighting efficiency); make agricultural technology advance (such as better efficiency in irrigation and fertilization) and enhance operations in manufacturing and distribution facilities of all types. However, connected devices such as these are notorious nodes through which hackers have had stunning and costly success at taking over networks and stealing data. There is a massive need, and an accompanying business opportunity, to make M2M networks as cybersafe as possible. The long-term trend of miniaturization is playing a vital role in M2M. Intel and other firms are working on convergence of MEMS (microelectromechanical systems—tiny devices or switches that can measure changes such as acceleration or vibration), RFID (wireless radio frequency identification devices) and sometimes tiny computer processors (microprocessors embedded with software). In a small but powerful package, such remote sensors can monitor and transmit the stress level or metal fatigue in a highway bridge or an aircraft wing or monitor manufacturing processes and product quality in a factory. In our age of growing focus on environmental quality, they can be designed to analyze surrounding air for chemicals, pollutants or particles, using lab on a chip technology that already largely exists. Some observers have referred to these wireless sensors as “smart dust,” expecting vast quantities of them to be scattered about the Earth as the sensors become smaller and less expensive over the near future. Energy efficiency is going to benefit greatly, particularly in newly built offices and factories. An important use of advanced sensors will be to monitor and control energy efficiency on a room-by-room, or even square meter-by-square meter, basis in large buildings. In an almost infinite variety of possible, efficiency-enhancing applications, artificial intelligence (AI) software can use data gathered from smart dust to forecast needed changes, and robotics or microswitches can then act upon that data, making adjustments in processes automatically.

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

For example, such a system of sensors and controls could make adjustments to the amount of an ingredient being added to the assembly line in a paint factory or food processing plant; increase fresh air flow to a factory room; or adjust air conditioning output in one room while leaving a nearby hallway as is. The ability to monitor conditions such as these 24/7, and provide instant analysis and reporting to engineers, means that potential problems can be deterred, manufacturing defects can be avoided, and energy efficiency can be enhanced dramatically. Virtually all industry sectors and processes will benefit. Look for data sensors in homes to proliferate over the near- to mid-term. In the insurance business, live data emanating from sensors in homes could lead to more intelligent policies. Monitoring data via smartphone could be a significant opportunity for companies in the senior care, childcare and pet care sectors. Internet Research Tip: The Internet of Things Infographic: Cisco posts a highly informative Internet of Things page at www.cisco.com/web/solutions/trends/iot/overview.ht ml which includes a one-minute IoT video. Meanwhile, French technology firm SigFox offers a simple, inexpensive wireless network, designed specifically for M2M needs. The network transmits data at a rate of 100 bits per second, which is slower by a factor of 1,000 than most smartphone networks but does so cheaply while it fills simple transmission needs such as those from many wireless sensors (such as Whistle, a clip-on collar sensor that tracks dog activity levels). Base stations use a wireless chip that costs only $1 to $2, and customers pay modest service charges per year per device. As of early-2023, SigFox had deployed its technology in about 70 countries, covering more than 1 billion people within its network range. Intel and other firms have developed methods that enable such remote sensors to bypass the need for internal batteries. Instead, they can run on “power harvesting circuits” that are able to reap power from nearby television signals, FM radio signals, Wi-Fi networks or RFID readers. Memory chips used in sensors are much smaller than those in smartphones and laptops, opening a major opportunity for manufacturers such as Adesto Technologies. The firm makes chips that store between 32 kilobits and one megabit of data, making

www.plunkettresearch.com

them a good fit for small monitors such as fitness data tracking wristbands. Meanwhile, Wiliot (www.wiliot.com), a supply chain technology firm in Israel, has developed a combination sensor and mini-computer tag for use by retailers desiring to track merchandise in the supply chain. The tags do not require batteries and promise to ultimately cost a few pennies each. Future applications might include location-based beacons in retail stores that alert nearby customers to selected items by cellphone. Smoke detectors with small memory chips could sense battery life, while blood transfusion bags could track their locations, ages and content viability. Amazon offers a variety of IoT devices, including the Astro robot for home monitoring and Halo Rise for tracking sleep patterns. Both communicate with Amazon’s Alexa personal assistant. In the fall of 2022, the Connectivity Standards Alliance launched Matter, an interoperability standard that specifies how smart devices talk to each other. Many platforms have embraced Matter, including Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home and Samsung SmartThings. Internet Research Tip: Internet of Things (IoT) Networks: For more information on wireless network systems and remote sensors, see: Analog Devices, Inc. (which acquired Linear Technology Corp.), www.analog.com/en/applications/technology/sm artmesh-pavilion-home.html%20# Moog, Inc., www.moog.com C3ai, c3iot.com/industries 11) Artificial Intelligence (AI), Deep Learning and Machine Learning Advance into Commercial Applications, Including Health Care and Robotics While the practical definition and ultimate capabilities of AI are debated, industry has put AI to work and continues to invest very heavily in advanced development. Today, AI has synergies with many highly advanced technologies such as virtual reality, factory automation, robotics, selfdriving cars, speech recognition and predictive analytics. One of the more promising advancements is called “deep learning.” Google spent nearly $600 million to acquire UK-based DeepMind, an intensive learning research group. Deep learning is sometimes

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

referred to in conjunction with phrases such as “machine learning” and “neural networking.” The main point is that software can be trained by being constantly fed data, queried as to its meaning, and receiving feedback to its responses. It is essentially training a machine to respond correctly to data of a given nature or to data within a given set of circumstances. The most compelling opportunities for the development and use of artificial intelligence software may be in engineering/research, investment analysis and, especially, health care. Simply put, health care is one of the world’s largest and fastestgrowing industries, and virtually all of the government and private health initiatives that pay for health care are desperately seeking ways to improve patient care outcomes, cut billing fraud, create operating efficiencies and generally slow the growth of costs overall. Google and U.S. hospital chain HCA Healthcare, Inc. signed a deal in May 2021 to develop algorithms that will analyze data from digital health care records for 32 million patients. The goal is to improve operating efficiency and promote better medical efficacy. The technology may boost patient monitoring and assist medical personnel in making treatment decisions. Google also signed a similar deal with the Mayo Clinic IBM created a business unit called Watson Health, based on its advanced “Watson” supercomputing-artificial intelligence hardware/software technology, combined with massive health care database firms that it acquired. In early 2016, IBM announced the acquisition of Truven Health Analytics, Inc. for $2.6 billion, for the Watson Health unit. In early 2022, IBM agreed to sell some of its Watson Health unit data and analytics to private equity firm Francisco Partners for more than $1 billion to increase IBM’s focus on its hybrid cloud and AI strategy. Nonetheless, technology firms have found that AI faces multiple challenges in analyzing complicated medical conditions in a manner that can improve treatments and outcomes. By some estimates, the amount of digital health care data doubles every 60 days. One of the first commercial applications of AI to medical equipment to be approved by the FDA was the Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index. This system utilizes machine learning based to alert doctors in real time to the probability that a patient’s blood pressure might plummet. It is applicable to patients in lifethreatening situations, such as those that doctors are

www.plunkettresearch.com

attempting to stabilize after surgery or a trauma. Likewise, AI has tremendous promise for enhancing the ability of ambulance and emergency room personnel to instantly diagnose patient conditions and suggest the best possible treatment—even before the patient arrives at the hospital. Elsewhere, demand is growing for advanced data tools in factories in order to monitor operations and equipment performance. This will increase efficiency and speed as well as reduce waste. According to some analysts, global manufacturers are expected to increase spending on data management and analytics to $20 billion by 2026, up from approximately $5 billion in 2020. However, a significant portion of the investment in systems that gather and analyze data needs to focus on cybersecurity. Data gathering via sensors, customer/patient records, webcams and monitors is an invitation for hackers to attempt to use such devices and records as ways to hack into networks for ransomware or data theft. Connected devices at homes and government/commercial facilities (including everything from webcams to digital door locks to smart thermostats) are extremely susceptible to easy hacking, unless they are properly installed with strong passwords and protected by firewalls or similar authentication systems. 12) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Payment Systems, such as Zelle and Venmo, Soar in Popularity One of the biggest areas of growth in payments technology lies in making it easier and faster for consumers to digitally transfer money to their friends and family. For example, six friends go out to dinner. One person pays for the meal. The other five digitally remit their proportionate share to the person who paid. Platforms like Zelle (owned by Early Warning LLC) and Venmo (owned by PayPal) make it easy to accomplish this instantly—before they leave the table. Square Cash (owned by credit card processing firm Square) is another, but less popular, example. Venmo enables users to transfer money that’s existing in their Venmo accounts. They can also link to their bank accounts or debit cards. Money can be moved effortlessly from their Venmo accounts to their bank accounts. Venmo is also usable as something of a digital debit card, as many websites and apps accept it as a payment method. Zelle is closely linked to the user’s bank account. It is set up easily by the consumer, particularly if the Zelle service is already available

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

in a particular bank’s mobile app. Otherwise, the consumer can download the Zelle mobile app and link to the consumer’s bank account. These services were designed primarily as a way for consumers to easily and safely interact with family and friends. (They have been adopted to a minor degree by small businesses.) They were launched without guarantees regarding the trustworthiness of the party you are paying. Unfortunately, some scammers have preyed on Zelle users. For example, unscrupulous third parties advertising a product or service on Craigslist or some other web site have been known to ask to be paid via Venmo and then never delivered the product or service that was promised. Zelle and Venmo have consistently encouraged their users to send payments only to parties that they know and trust. 13) Growth in Big Data Supported by Expansion of Cloud Computing and Predictive Analytics “Big data” refers to the massive sets of digital information that are generated and captured at an accelerating rate by a wide variety of enterprises. For example, the digitization of health care records for hundreds of millions of patients is creating massive data sets. Likewise, the recording of activities of billions of monthly users of Facebook creates big data that is key to Facebook’s ability to generate advertising revenues. Today, advertising of all types is being adjusted on a continuous basis due to the analysis of big data, often in real-time. Top technology companies such as IBM are seeing tremendous growth in this segment. A growing trend is the generation of big data sets by remote wireless sensors in heavy industry, transportation and agriculture. The analysis of big data is creating enormous opportunities for greater efficiency in such areas as manufacturing, energy, finance, and marketing, as well as the development of intelligent transportation systems and better outcomes in health care. At the same time, challenges in the big data trend include the capture, storage, visualization and analysis of immense amounts of information in a rapid and cost-effective manner. Security and privacy are additional concerns. The hand-in-hand partner of big data is analytical software, sometimes referred to as “predictive analytics.” Gaining advantage from increasing amounts of data is accomplished via extremely powerful software algorithms that can parse reams of data at extremely high speed. That

www.plunkettresearch.com

software then must present results, predictions and viewpoints that solve the needs of the organization in question. Statisticians and other professionals who can manage these tasks are in very high demand. Big data is also closely linked to the rapidly developing field of artificial intelligence (AI), and the related study of machine learning. SAS, a global corporation known for its analytical software, recently wrote about the power of this trend at work in a major retail chain that is able to analyze data gathered from past customer transactions to determine the optimum prices to set in each of its stores. By using the latest data capture and analysis tools, the company reduced the amount of time for this weekly project from 30 hours of work to only two hours. Another example from SAS discusses a major bank that was able to reduce its regularly scheduled analysis of loan portfolios, looking for potential loan default, from 96 hours of work to only 4 hours. Such savings in time can represent very large boosts to productivity and profits. The online advertising industry has been a prime beneficiary of the big data trend. As search engines, e-commerce sites and social media have been able to capture immense amounts of information about people who are online (often extending to consumers’ locations, tastes and demographics), they have developed highly targeted advertising opportunities for firms that want to reach specific types of consumers. Media networks including Comcast Corp.’s NBCUniversal are offering advertisers data analytics tools to target ads more effectively. Called Audience Targeting Platform, it links data in set-top boxes to buying patterns of the people who use them. The global financial industry is also a key player in big data. Now that all types of banking, investment, insurance and trading activities have been digitized and globalized, the amount of data that financial institutions must deal with offers both headaches and opportunities. On the challenges side, financial companies are faced with an everincreasing need to fend off hackers, scam artists and major fraud schemes from their digital repositories, while providing highly regulated levels of consumer privacy. At the same time, having access to reams of information about their customers enables these institutions to better tailor targeted advertising and marketing, and to make better credit and lending decisions. On the investment side, big data enables traders, hedge fund managers and mutual funds, as well as financial analysts and money managers, to

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

conduct real-time analysis of big data sets to maximize return on investment while minimizing risk. Insurance underwriters likewise benefit greatly from the risk analysis and risk management afforded by the proper analysis of big data. The health care industry is beginning to rely heavily on big data. One of the major initiatives within the industry is the digitization of patient records. Similarly, the compilation of massive databases containing the outcomes of all types of treatments, drug therapies and surgeries will increase reliance on big data analysis. The goals include making patient records portable and readily accessible by any caregiver, along with using stateof-the-art analysis tools to determine the most effective treatments for specific types of patients and illnesses. In addition, big data will be used to pinpoint the most effective health care organizations based on cost of care, mortality, readmission to the hospital and other factors. Such studies will help identify best practices and potentially increase costeffectiveness. At the same time, the industry will be able to create incentives for organizations shown to provide the best care. An excellent example of a big data project is NEON, the National Ecological Observatory Network. The $434 million project is being overseen by the U.S. National Science Foundation. NEON became fully operational in 2019. It has 15,000 sensors across the U.S. that collect more than 500 types of daily data from 81 field sites (47 terrestrial and 34 aquatic) such as temperature, air pressure, wind speed and direction, ozone levels and soil and water nutrients. The data not only helps boost the effectiveness of government programs, it also is available to the public free of charge, as an aid to weather forecasting and agriculture. The system generates 200 terabytes of data each year, or four times that collected and transmitted by the Hubble telescope.

Predictive analytics software Remote wireless sensors Search engines Semiconductor manufacturing Social media Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Source: Plunkett Research, Ltd. The rapidly escalating trend of big data across a broad range of industries is a perfect fit with the expansion of cloud computing. Now, massive databases can be hosted by remote databases (in the cloud) and then accessed via the internet for analysis and action. Network technology leader Cisco Systems publishes the Cisco Global Cloud Index. In its latest release, it forecast that data center internet-based traffic will grow more than threefold, or a 27% compound annual growth rate, from 2017-2022. Traffic will reach 20.6 zettabytes (a zettabyte is about 909 million terabytes) in 2021. By 2021, 95% of all traffic will come from cloud systems. Self-Driving Cars and the IoT Require Edge Computing as an Adjunct to Cloud Computing While computing via the cloud is clearly a dominant trend today, a concept called edge computing is also growing in popularity as a supplement to cloud-based data processing. Edge computing is a local technology strategy whereby digital processing is done near the point where the data is first acquired. For example, a self-driving car generates vast amounts of data constantly. Sending that data to the cloud to be processed would create small delays in analyzing road conditions and safety threats. Such delays, even if tiny, could imperil the car and its occupants. In contrast, computing at the “edge” of the in-car laser detection system (LIDAR) and other devices would be nearly instantaneous, and portions of the data could still be transmitted via wireless networks to the cloud for further analysis. (Recent analysis shows that autonomous vehicles could generate as much as 25 gigabytes of data hourly.) Many other technology trends will drive the use of edge computing forward. M2M (machine-tomachine) communications is rapidly emerging in the form of IoT (the Internet of Things). Here, remote sensors gather vast amounts of data from machinery, aircraft, trucks, ships, infrastructure and other vital components of day-to-day life.

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

The intent is to capture data that can be rapidly analyzed in order to optimize both safety and operating efficiencies. Here, too, sending the data to the cloud may not be fast or efficient enough for the intended purpose. For example, conducting edge computing of data continuously gathered from industrial machinery, and later sending the resulting analysis on to a cloud computing center, may save factories from breakdowns and significantly reduce maintenance costs. 14) The Future: Pervasive Computing and Complete Mobility Will Be Standard/Artificial Intelligence (AI) Will Boost Nearly All Sectors Smartphones with larger screens are taking over more and more of the functions and tasks previously assigned to desktop PCs and laptops. Mobility, miniaturization, fast wireless connections, easy access to data, software-as-a-service, and entertainment via apps and the cloud, as well as long-lasting batteries, reign supreme in this trend. Simply put, smartphones are very small, lightweight, versatile and reasonably affordable computers that improve from one generation to the next. The fact that wireless internet access speeds have become quite fast is a big enabler of this trend. While the latest 5G wireless services remain a work-inprogress, this technology has the long-term promise to even further boost smartphones and other wireless devices as powerful drivers in the future of computer usage. This relentless drive toward miniaturization and wireless access will have a profound effect on the way we interact with computing devices over the long-term. Rooms and automobiles that react to a person when he or she enters the car, home or office will become standard. Cars that use Bluetooth to connect automatically to a driver's smartphone are an important start in that direction. Wearable, personal sensors are quickly growing in sophistication. The smart watch is evolving to the point that it is a convenient alternative to looking at a smartphone’s screen for many uses. Devices featuring augmented reality and virtual reality will become standard in training and education for very detailed tasks (such as hospital operating room procedures), as well as for gaming and entertainment. This is another outcome of highly miniaturized, highly advanced wearable devices. The technology age of the near future may be referred to as the “Connected Devices Age” or

www.plunkettresearch.com

perhaps the “Pervasive Computing Age,” as the Internet of Things comes into being. That is, computing devices will surround us at all times in all places, largely interconnected and communicating with both the user and the environment around the user. Part of this Pervasive Computing Age was pioneered by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) In the U.S. MIT Project Oxygen (www.oxygen.lcs.mit.edu) was launched, appropriately enough at the turn of the century in 2000, to define the nature of personal computing for the near future. It started in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Laboratory for Computer Science and has long been a useful way to visualize computing of the near future. The intent of this initiative is to conceptualize new user interfaces that will create natural, constant utilization of information technology. The project stated its goal was designing a new system that could be: pervasive—it must be everywhere; embedded—it must live in our world, sensing and affecting it; nomadic—users must be free to move around according to their needs; and always on—it must never shut down or reboot. The original Project Oxygen initiative was centered on harnessing speech recognition and video recognition technologies that can be embedded in the walls surrounding us, responding to our spoken commands and actions. (Early-on, this theory was exemplified in Microsoft’s Kinect add-on for its Xbox electronic game machine. Kinect responds to the user’s hand or body gestures as commands, thanks to a sophisticated, built-in camera and related software.) It is fascinating to see how accurate Project Oxygen’s vision is today, as many of its concepts have come to pass. Today, the rapidly growing trend toward extremely accurate facial recognition technology will accelerate technology’s ability to respond to, and communicate with, individual users. As envisioned in the original Project Oxygen, a portable interface device would provide an ultimate array of personal functions. (This has come to life to a large extent in the form of the smartphone.) Meanwhile, stationary computers would manage communications with the user in a continuous, seamless fashion. Interfaces would include cameras and microphones embedded in “intelligent rooms” that would enable the user to communicate with this massive computing power via voice, motion or the handheld unit. The user’s routine needs and tasks would be tended to automatically. (Apps are now

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

taking care of many users’ needs in this regard.) For example, the user would be recognized when entering a room, and the room’s systems would be adjusted to suit the user’s profile. Most of this system’s functions would operate by downloading software from the internet on an as-needed basis. (As in today’s software-as-a-service systems. The emphasis on cloud computing that is growing today is a boost to this trend. At the same time, the quickly advancing Internet of Things (IoT) is yet another enabler to Project Oxygen’s original vision.) While a few of the goals of Project Oxygen have yet to be realized in today’s mobile computing devices, it’s clear that technology trends are stampeding in the right direction for this always-on future. The latest leap forward in the pervasive computing trend is the advance of digital personal assistants, such as Amazon’s Echo and Google’s Home. Amazon’s Alexa web app is installed on a small unit called Amazon Echo that sits on a countertop, desk or shelf. Google offers a similar device called Google Home. All of these apps and platforms are voice-activated and use connections to other apps and systems to find information such as directions, time, date, weather and trivia, or make purchases, which are reported audibly (users can choose their device’s voice gender and language). These digital personal assistants are so inexpensive to purchase and easy to use that their adoption is accelerating very quickly, bringing the era of ubiquitous computing even closer to realization. Software such as word processers, spreadsheets, email and web browsers/internet 1.0 were the early drivers of the modern computer era. Next came user-friendly databases, powerful search engines and SMS text. For the foreseeable future, the biggest driver is going to be software of a type that is infinitely more advanced: artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). In many ways, artificial intelligence (AI) is a logical extension of recent technology trends. A combination of ever-more-powerful computer chips, cloud computing, continued miniaturization of devices such as sensors, and the growth of the big data/data analytics sector are major enablers of AI on what is now a cost-effective basis. AI and ML will create vast changes in nearly all segments of business and industry over the midterm. The effect of AI on consumers and households is already in broad evidence, although the people benefitting from such technologies may not be aware of the process or the significance of what’s going on around them. For example, utilizing machine

www.plunkettresearch.com

learning, Amazon.com pioneered the development of advanced software that learns from a shopper’s actions online and then makes product recommendations tailored to the individual. AI and ML are already utilized in a vast array of businesses and scientific and consumer activities, and usage will soar very dramatically. Watch especially for big leaps forward in AI-enhanced search engines. To gain a personal understanding of how AI and ML will change everything, test drive ChatGPT and monitor its development and adoption. OpenAI (openai.com) created GPT-3, or Generative Pretrained Transformer 3. (The newer generation GPT4 was planned to be launched as early as 2023.) It uses language-processing algorithms mined from massive numbers of gigabytes of data gathered by internet crawling, enabling it study digital files (machine learning) in order to answer questions, write essays and summaries, translate languages, create memos or program computer code, among other tasks. (This process is known as “generative AI.”) Since the technology is cloud-based, such activities can be initiated from virtually any type of device, from smartphones to PCs to servers. By 2023, OpenAI had accepted substantial investments from Microsoft. Importantly, it had launched leading-edge AI interfaces, including ChatGPT that are easy to use in the automated creation of text (such as magazine articles), art (such as illustrations for websites), music and even complex computer code. In addition to ChatGPT, OpenAI’s other impressive AI-driven tools include Dall-E, for creation of art images and Codex, which utilizes AI to help programmers create lines of code. (Codex is the basis for Microsoft’s popular GitHub Copilot programming aid.) Meanwhile, SmartBots, including the ability of tools like ChatGPT to write intelligent answers and search results on-the-fly will soon go far beyond writing essays and providing customer service. Microsoft is incorporating Chat AI into its Edge/Bing search tools, and Google plans similar search enhancements of its own. Product suggestions and search results on websites, such as those of retailers like H&M or Saks, may become significantly more effective thanks to incorporation of these AI tools. This will lead to systems that literally act as virtual salespeople, which will boost revenues at retailers and also increase customer satisfaction. The ability of these tools to study massive amounts of background and reference data (machine learning) could lead to virtual teachers,

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

counselors and business professionals in the not-toodistant future. For example, students could ask for auto-generated textbooks tailored to their specific, personal needs and interests. (Virtual tutors may be the first step.) Business owners could query virtual human resources SmartBots, deeply immersed in legal material—even specific to specific job types, state jurisdictions or management problems. The owners could obtain guidance on how to deal with (or even dismiss) problem employees. 15) Cybersecurity Challenges for the Internet of Things (IoT) IoT is a revolutionary, disruptive technological concept. It is also potentially invasive of our homes, offices, automobiles and even our outdoor surroundings. Since the whole point of IoT is to gather data at the “endpoint,” that is at the point where the data is created, and then analyze that data in remote computer systems, often with ultrapowerful artificial intelligence, it is designed to surround us. IoT will gather and transmit data about mundane things like what temperature we set on our thermostats and what items we put in refrigerators. On a more personal basis, it will know where we are heading in our vehicles, what we look like as we pass by a digital camera and perhaps what we weigh when we get on a bathroom scale. The possibilities are endless. Unfortunately, the possibilities for abuse are likewise endless, including the potential for hackers to enter our homes and offices via IoT devices. Used well, IoT will make the world more convenient, efficient, environmentally sound and “safer”. But, that potential for “safer” has a big “IF” in front of it. Radical new ways of blocking hackers, spyware, malware, abuse of personal data and uninvited invasion of privacy are called for if consumers and businesses are going to feel enthusiastic enough about IoT to invest in and utilize new devices, such as IoT-enabled appliances and health monitors in the home, intelligent transportation technologies in cars and advanced inventory or machinery management in factories and offices. This means an urgent need for improved network and device security at all levels, from firewalls and Wi-Fi routers to advanced software on devices and nodes. One pioneer in developing secure technologies for the world of IoT is Boston-based Cybereason, Inc., www.cybereason.com, which is focused on securing connected endpoint devices. Companies that can solve security needs may eventually have a global market of 1 trillion connected devices or

www.plunkettresearch.com

more. Likewise, Veridify Security, www.veridify.com, formerly SecureRF, is developing innovative security solutions for IoT devices. IoT relies heavily on Wi-Fi, which is notoriously open to hacking, as well as on advanced 5G wireless services. Unfortunately, security and malware on smartphones and wireless monitors are already a great concern. Thousands of stories already abound in the news media of clever ways that hackers have utilized thermostats and other devices connected to business networks in order to enter servers and extract critical data files. One example is hackers that utilized a connection made to a non-secure thermostat on a large aquarium in a U.S. casino. Traditionally, connected devices in the home or office, such as alarm systems, smart thermostats and webcams, have not been well protected from hacking. Consumers of IoT at all levels, from individual households to government agencies, businesses and industrial giants, will soon face a significant challenge: What device and wireless service brands can they trust? At what level are they willing to trade privacy for the potential efficiencies of IoT-enabled devices? 16) Hot Fields Within Computers, Hardware & Software Include Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cybersecurity and the Internet of Things (IoT) • Data and network security (Cybersecurity)— This remains a top concern among technology consumers and manufacturers alike. Whether it’s security when conducting online banking or security in using e-mail and online collaboration, technology users are fed up with being hacked, spammed, cheated and abused by fraud. Security is also a major concern for social media networks, smartphones and cloud computing. • Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning—One of the greatest areas of investment and research in the entire technology field is AI and related machine learning, deep learning and neural networks. Simply put, AI will boost the effectiveness and reach of many other technologies, from robotics to gaming to personal digital assistants. • The Internet of Things (IoT)—Remote wireless sensors, 5G, Wi-Fi connections, Bluetooth connections and other advanced technologies are enabling a boom in machine-to-machine (M2M)

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

communications that will soon reach stunning proportions. • Electronic games—Mobile access and interactive online game playing continue to fuel global sales in this sector. • Virtual Reality—The ability to use advanced software and displays in order to create an immersion environment of extremely high-quality promises to drive changes in gaming, advertising, entertainment and training. • Augmented Reality (AR)—a technology that superimposes computer-generated, digital images on a real time view, creating a composite view. • Autonomous Vehicles—cars, trucks and utility vehicles with self-driving capabilities. • Voice recognition—Advanced software to enable a user to use verbal commands in everything from smartphones to automobile dashboard commands. • Personal Digital Assistants—Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri and Google Home are ushering in a new era of voice-activated user interfaces to search and entertainment. • Face recognition and other biometrics are growing as a means of digital log-in. • Mobile computing—ultra-fast 5G service is slowly being rolled out. • Denser, faster, more energy-efficient chips continue to be announced, particularly important to artificial intelligence systems. • Fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP)—Fiber-optic cable installed all the way through to the living room is becoming standard for very high-speed internet. Businesses take advantage of similar systems. • Cloud computing—Clusters of inexpensive servers power remote data centers for software applications, search, data storage and data sharing. This is a cost-effective alternative to storing software and data on a local device or server. A twist on this technology is called “hybrid cloud,” where an enterprise uses a combination of local servers for highly sensitive data, along with cloudbased files and software. • Software as a Service (SaaS)—Software for business or consumer use that is accessed via the internet rather than installed on a local computer. Generally, this remote software can be considered to be accessed via the cloud. • Quantum computing is slowing moving closer to becoming practical for specialized digital research. • Data science, which is collecting, analyzing and interpreting large amounts of data to identify ways to

www.plunkettresearch.com

help a business improve operations or marketing, and gain a competitive edge. • AI in Health Care—increasingly used in all facets of health care from analysis of patient outcomes, to drug development, to vaccine development.

AgileBits, Inc. has developed and operates 1Password, a password management platform that works across devices. The private, secure and user-friendly password management solution is used by businesses and consumers globally. 1Password offers password and user-name generation solutions, infrastructure security automation, shared vaults and item storage, two-factor authentication, secure sensitive information sharing, activity tracking, usage reports and more. Information stored in 1Password is encrypted, and only the user administration can access it. 1Password cannot see the data, and therefore cannot use it, share it nor sell it. The only information collected by 1Password is that which is necessary for troubleshooting. 1Password only fills account details on sites where the details and information have been verified and saved. Sensitive data can be removed from devices while crossing borders during travel, and can be restored when at the destination. The platform's watchtower alerts users about password breaches and other security problems with 1Password items. More than 100,000 business customers, including IBM, Slack, PagerDuty and GitLab, use 1Passward as their enterprise password manager. Headquartered in Canada, AgileBits has operations in the U.S. and Europe.

I GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

Forter, Inc. is a fraud prevention company that provides related technology for online/digital retailers and marketplaces. The firm's solutions are grouped into six categories: Trusted Conversions, Trusted Policies, Forter Element, Trusted Identities, Smart Payments and PSD2. The Trusted Conversions solution eliminates false declines, reduces loss and chargebacks by making precise decisions about customer trustworthiness at checkout, maintains alignment with issuing banks and payment processors, and guarantees results regarding fraud chargebacks, approval rates and response time SLAs. The Trusted Policies solution enables businesses to identify and stop abusive behavior targeted at consumers (inhibiting them from completing purchases) by protecting the bottom line with real-time, identity-based decisions that recognize repeated behavior and cut off abusers. This identity data helps businesses create and automatically enforce business policies across all channels and interactions. Forter Element is a solution that helps minimize false positives and chargebacks by up to 90% while still approving more transactions. Decisions are backed by an optimal chargeback guarantee. The Trusted Identities solution streamlines account authentication at login and stops fraud by blocking multiple account creation. The Smart Payments solution provides realtime payment decision and smart authentication features for minimizing false payment declines. Last, the PSD2 (payment services directive 2, a European Union regulation) solution leverages Forter's payment ecosystem intelligence to eliminate unnecessary payment declines. Markets served by Forter include fashion and beauty, travel, food and beverage, home and garden, electronics and goods and services. Forter has office locations in the U.S., Israel, the U.K. and Singapore. Partners of Forter include Adobe, Salesforce, Shopify, SAP, CapitalOne, Mastercard, Capgemini, and many others.

Netskope, Inc. is a cloud access security broker. The firm provides a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that helps companies find, understand and use cloud applications relevant to them. Netskope's platform enables the discovery and monitoring of various known or unknown cloud applications running in their organizations, draw analytics from that data and provide policy enforcement, all in real-time. The company's patented Cloud XD technology eliminates blind spots by quickly targeting and controlling activities across thousands of cloud services and millions of websites. Once connected with Netskope, cloud app traffic is steered to its private cloud tenant via flexible deployment options. This enables Netskope users to perform the analysis and policy enforcement on the traffic, and therefore strengthening data security in the cloud. The company also offers an appliance that can be deployed onpremises. This ensures that all cloud traffic processing happens inside those data centers and the security metadata is physically constrained to the Netskope appliance. The company has more than 75 patents. Its products are grouped into three categories: security service Edge products, to protect against advanced and cloud-enabled threats and safeguard data across all vectors; borderless software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN), for providing secure, high-performance access to all remote users, device, site and cloud; and platform, offering visibility and real-time data, as well as threat protection on its security private cloud. During 2022, Netskope acquired Infiot, which offers technology products and solutions that enable secure and reliable access, network and application optimization and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven operations.

I GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

SoSafe International AB has developed a mobile application that sends assistance to someone who is or is perceived to be in danger once the SoSafe button is pressed on the app. No name must be given and talking out loud is not necessary to know that help is on the way. Family and/or loved ones listed as security contacts are certified as well as SoSafe's alarm center. The position and status of the person in danger is automatically viewable through the app. The alarm center is able to hear what is happening on the person's end to get an idea of what kind of help may be needed. Help is on the way even if the person does not know where they are nor what kind of help they need. Once SoSafe is pressed, the log is registered and saved for as long as needed, and is also used for evidence or as an analysis tool. Personal security is updated via advanced technology in real-time, so that it is ready anytime, anywhere. In January 2022, SoSafe announced that it raised $73 million in a Series B funding round led by Highland Europe, with existing investors including Acton Capital, Global Founders Capital, La Famiglia, among others. SoSafe offers its employees a stock ownership program, employer-funded pension, remote work option, learning and development opportunities and other benefits.

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

Authorized Push Payment Fraud (APP Fraud): A method of fraud in which perpetrators deceive consumers into sending payments under false pretenses to bank accounts controlled by the fraudsters. As payments made using real-time payment schemes are irrevocable, the victims cannot reverse a payment once they realize they have been conned. Bandwidth: The data transmission capacity of a network, measured in the amount of data (in bits and bauds) it can transport in one second. A full page of text is about 15,000 to 20,000 bits. Full-motion, fullscreen video requires about 10 million bits per second, depending on compression. Basic Research: Attempts to discover compounds, materials, processes or other items that may be largely or entirely new and/or unique.

After the card is verified, perpetrators move on to larger purchases.

www.plunkettresearch.com

Credential Stuffing: A common hack in which fraudsters utilize stolen credentials, gained through phishing attacks or purchased from the dark web. Those credentials are tested, often in high volume through automated bots, against accounts such as bank accounts and wireless phone accounts, until the log-in attempt succeeds. This leads to account takeover. Credit Card Fraud: Theft of credit card numbers and/or the use of stolen numbers to pay for goods or services.

Card-Not-Present: A credit or credit card transaction that is made without the physical presence of the card itself, such as an online purchase. Such transactions are more likely to be fraudulent.

Digital ID: Data that can confirm the identity of the user of a network, shopping cart or online system. Digital Wallet: An app that enables a consumer to store encrypted bank account, debit card and credit card information. A technology called tokenization is typically used. (See "Tokenization.") The user is then enabled to check out in retail stores (via smartphone and specially equipped cash registers/POS) and online, without the need to enter payment account data. Biometric data such as a fingerprint is often used to ID the user on a smartphone. On a PC, account login is typically required. The end result is enhanced payment data security, plus reduced time checking out, as the consumer doesn't need to key-in account numbers, which often leads to errors on small screens. Top digital wallets include Apple Pay, Google Pay and LG Pay.

Disaster Recovery: A set of rules and procedures that allow a computer site to be put back in operation after a disaster has occurred. Moving backups off-site constitutes the minimum basic precaution for disaster recovery. The remote copy is used to recover data if the local storage is inaccessible after a disaster. Disruptive: A new technology or business model that unexpectedly threatens to displace existing products or services. For example, the manner in which email has disrupted standard postal service. By some estimates, in order to be disruptive, a new service or product must provide most of the value of existing methods, and ideally even enhanced value, while reducing costs and/or speeding delivery. Distributed Ledger: A strategy of utilizing networks of computers to record transactions, documents and ownership records. Unlike traditional databases, such ledgers have no central data location or administration. Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDOS): An attack on computer systems, usually web servers. Hackers and cyber-criminals launch such attacks to bring down an organization's ability to serve its customers and employees through its online systems and web sites. (Also known as DDoS.) Diverted Delivery: A type of ecommerce fraud. Because a website's shopping cart does not always utilize remote data services in order to verify that a consumer actually lives at the address stated in the order, fraudsters, using stolen cards or credentials, can have a delivery sent to an address not connected to the card/credential. DLT: See “Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).” EDR: See "Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)." Email Account Compromise: The takeover of an email account for fraudulent purposes.

Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA): A security measure that identifies end users by asking them to answer security questions in order to log into an account or network. KYC: See “Know Your Customer (KYC).” LAC: An acronym for Latin America and the Caribbean. LDAP: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. An advanced technology for storing managing authentication information. LDCs: See “Least Developed Countries (LDCs).” Least Developed Countries (LDCs): Nations determined by the U.N. Economic and Social Council to be the poorest and weakest members of the international community. There are currently 50 LDCs, of which 34 are in Africa, 15 are in Asia Pacific and the remaining one (Haiti) is in Latin America. The top 10 on the LDC list, in descending order from top to 10th, are Afghanistan, Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cape Verde and the Central African Republic. Sixteen of the LDCs are also Landlocked Least Developed Countries (LLDCs) which present them with additional difficulties often due to the high cost of transporting trade goods. Eleven of the LDCs are Small Island Developing States (SIDS), which are often at risk of extreme weather phenomenon (hurricanes, typhoons, Tsunami): have fragile ecosystems: are often dependent on foreign energy sources: can have high disease rates for HIV/AIDS

Machine Learning (ML): The ability of a computer or computerized device to learn based on the results of previous actions or the analysis of a stream of related data. It is a vital branch of Artificial Intelligence that uses advanced software in order to identify patterns and make decisions or predictions. Machine-to-Machine (M2M): Refers to communications from one device to another (or to a collection of devices). It is typically through wireless means such as Wi-Fi or cellular. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) will be a major growth factor in M2M communications, in everything from factory automation to agriculture and transportation. In logistics and retailing, M2M can refer to the advanced use of RFID tags. See “Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).” The Internet of Things is based on the principle of M2M communications. Also, see “Internet of Things (IoT”). Malware: Malicious software that is used to infiltrate an organization's networks and gain access to email threads, business data, vital data, business secrets, etc., including passwords and financial account information. Malware is often downloaded by an unwitting user, by clicking on an infected website link, an infected link in an email or an infected email attachment. M-Commerce: Mobile e-commerce over wireless devices. Medical Claims Fraud: Fraudsters steal patients' names, health insurance account info, other personal data, then defraud insurers by making false claims.

Mesh Network: A network that uses multiple Wi-Fi repeaters or “nodes” to deploy a wireless Internet access network. Typically, a mesh network is operated by the users themselves. Each user installs a node at his or her locale and plugs the node into his/her local Internet access, whether DSL, cable or satellite. Other users within the mesh can access all other nodes as needed, or as they travel about. A mesh network can provide access to an apartment complex, an office building, a campus or an entire city. Meraki is a leading node brand in this sector. MFA: See “Multifiber Agreement (MFA)”. ML: See “Machine Learning (ML).” MNO: Mobile Network Operator. Mule: In financial fraud, a money mule is someone who transfers or moves illegally acquired money on behalf of someone else. Criminals recruit money mules to help launder proceeds derived from online scams and frauds or crimes like human trafficking and drug trafficking. Money mules add layers of distance between crime victims and criminals, which makes it harder for law enforcement to accurately trace money trails. Money mules can move funds in various ways, including through bank accounts, cashier’s checks, virtual currency, prepaid debit cards, or money service businesses. Multi-Factor Authentication: A strategy wherein additional levels of ID are required after a username and password have been provided. For example, the requirement that the user enter a code that has been pushed to him/her via a text message. Nigerian Letter: Nigerian letter (or 419) frauds combine the threat of impersonation fraud with a variation of an advance fee scheme in which a letter mailed, or e-mailed, from Nigeria or elsewhere offers the recipient the “opportunity” to share in a percentage of millions of dollars that the author—a self-proclaimed government official—is trying to transfer illegally out of Nigeria. The recipient is encouraged to send information to the author, such as blank letterhead stationery, bank name and account numbers, and other identifying information using a fax number given in the letter or return e-mail address provided in the message. The scheme relies on convincing a willing victim, who has demonstrated a “propensity for larceny” by responding to the invitation, to send money to the

www.plunkettresearch.com

author of the letter in Nigeria in several installments of increasing amounts for a variety of reasons. Open Banking: A business strategy that enables financial firms to quickly assemble new services and tools for their customers, via software APIs. P2P Network: See “Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Network.” PAM: Privileged Access Management. Patent: An intellectual property right granted by a national government to an inventor to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention throughout that nation or importing the invention into the nation for a limited time in exchange for public disclosure of the invention when the patent is granted. In addition to national patenting agencies, such as the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and regional organizations such as the European Patent Office, there is a cooperative international patent organization, the World Intellectual Property Organization, or WIPO, established by the United Nations. Payment Service Directive Two (PSD2): Regulations that force European payments processors and gateways to utilized advanced customer and account authentication at the time of payment in order to reduce fraud. PCI Compliance: Privacy and antifraud regulations to ensure that credit card data protected. Also known as Payment Card Industry Compliance. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Network: Refers to a connection between computers that creates equal status between the computers. P2P can be used in an office or home to create a simple computer network. However, P2P more commonly refers to networks of computers that share information online. For example, peer-to-peer music sharing networks enable one member to search the hard drives of other members to locate music files and then download those files. Phishing: A very large percentage of all online scams are launched by links in emails or attachments to emails. Often, these scams appear legitimate enough that they lure an individual into providing vital account information, that would then enable a fraudster to take over an account. For example, a "password reset required" scam might appear to come from a trusted vendor such as a bank, asking the

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

receiver to enter the existing password and enter a new password. The net effect is to hand the actual, existing password over to the fraudster. Point-of-Sale (POS): A cash register with the capability to scan a UPC code, electronically record a sale and accept payment via multiple means, including the scanning of a credit card or digital wallet. It may utilize NFC, near field communications, to read cards and digital wallets. POS: See “Point of Sale (POS).” Predictive Analytics: See “Analytics.” Protocol: A set of rules for communicating between computers. The use of standard protocols allows products from different vendors to communicate on a common network. PSD2: See “Payment Service Directive Two (PSD2).” Push Fatigue: A state in which a fraud victim is overwhelmed with repeated push alert scams to verify identity and mistakenly responds by clicking or typing “Yes.” This allows the attacker access to accounts or devices. Quantum Computing: A technology that uses the unique abilities of quantum systems, to be in multiple states at once. Such superpositions would allow the computer to perform many different computations simultaneously. This is a merger of physics (and its laws of quantum mechanics) with computer science. Quantum computing works with quantum bits, also known as qubits. The laws of quantum mechanics differ radically from the laws of traditional physics. Eventually, quantum computers incredible processing speeds may become feasible. R&D: Research and development. Also see “Applied Research” and “Basic Research.” Radio Frequency Identification (RFID): A technology that applies a special microchip-enabled tag to an individual item or piece of merchandise or inventory. RFID technology enables wireless, computerized tracking of that inventory item as it moves through the supply chain from factory to transport to warehouse to retail store or end user. Also known as radio tags.

Ransomware: A type of malicious software, or malware, that prevents an individual, or even an entire organization, from accessing computer files, systems, or networks and demands that the device owner pay a ransom for the "keys" that will unlock the "encrypted" files. Ransomware attacks cause costly disruptions to vital operations and the loss of critical data. They can bring organizations that depend highly on computerization to a complete standstill. Individuals can unknowingly download ransomware by opening an infected email attachment, clicking an ad, following a link, or even visiting a website that's embedded with malware. Once the code is loaded on a computer, it will lock access data files. More menacing versions can encrypt files and folders on local drives, attached drives, and even networked computers. RFID: See “Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).” Romance Fraud: A fraud in which a criminal begins a "romantic" relationship with someone online with the intent of convincing that person to transfer funds to the criminal. SaaS: See “Software as a Service (SaaS).” SCA: See “Strong Customer Authentication (SCA).” Scalable: Refers to a network that can grow and adapt as the total customer count increases and as customer needs increase and change. Scalable websites (and the hardware and software behind them) are extremely vital to rapidly growing online services. Scalable networks can easily manage increasing numbers of workstations, servers, user workloads and added functionality. Semantic Web: An initiative started by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that is focused on improving the way users access databases and online content by adding semantic metadata to content that will clearly define the relationships between data. Users see much better search results, and web site developers are able to create pages that update results and content based on related data on-the-fly. Data is automatically shared across applications and across organizations. While the Semantic Web is sometimes referred to as Web 3.0, it should not be confused with Web3. Service Abuse: A wireless service account user onboards with a company and may initially make

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

payments when due, but eventually stops paying and/or takes advantage of weaknesses within the system.

fuel pumps capture data or record cardholders’ PINs. Criminals use the data to create fake debit or credit cards and then steal from victims’ accounts.

Service Level Agreement (SLA): A detail in a contract between a service provider and the client. The agreement specifies the level of service that is expected during the service contract term. For example, computer or Internet service contracts generally stipulate a maximum amount of time that a system may be unusable.

SLA: See “Service Level Agreement (SLA).”

Shopping Cart Abandonment: Occurs when an online customer places items in a website's shopping cart, but then abandons the transaction without completing the purchase. SIM Card: A small circuit card inserted into cell phones to identify details about the subscriber. SIM Swap: A fraud scheme which involves a fraudster obtaining a new SIM card (for a wireless device) already properly registered with the number of an existing, legitimate user. This can come through purchasing information on the dark web, bribing telephone company employees or conning telecom provider call center workers. When SIM Swap Fraud occurs, one-time passwords and certain aspects of two factor authentication may become useless, because the thief controls the smartphone. By the time the victim has regained control of his/her phone, the fraudster has already cleaned out financial accounts. Single Sign-On (SSO): A system that permits a user to use one set of login credentials, such as a username/password, to access multiple applications, such as databases, within an organization. It is appropriate as a high-level login in enterprises that are running many different types and brands of software. Six Sigma: A quality enhancement strategy designed to reduce the number of products coming from a manufacturing plant that do not conform to specifications. Six Sigma states that no more than 3.4 defects per million parts is the goal of high-quality output. Motorola invented the system in the 1980s in order to enhance its competitive position against Japanese electronics manufacturers. Skimming: Skimming occurs when devices illegally installed on ATMs, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, or

Smart Fobs: Small digital fobs that plug into USB ports and are used as a hard-to-hack layer upon device or system log-in. Social Engineering: A method of Account Takeover where the fraudster convinces a help center or call center operator that the fraudster is actually the consumer he/she is imitating. The fraudster gains vital personal data in this manner, resets a password, gains control of a smartphone number/account, or otherwise gains access to an account. Software as a Service (SaaS): Refers to the practice of providing users with software applications that are hosted on remote servers and accessed via the Internet. Excellent examples include the CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software provided in SaaS format by Salesforce. An earlier technology that operated in a similar, but less sophisticated, manner was called ASP or Application Service Provider. Spearfishing: Email messages that look like they’re from a trusted sender, used to trick victims into revealing confidential information. That information lets criminals access company accounts, calendars, and data that gives them the details they need to carry out requests for fund transfer or other schemes. Spoofing: The act of creating an email or website that appears so close in design, name, URL or other data, that it fools a consumer or business into thinking it is legitimate. SSO: See "Single Sign-On (SSO)." Strong Customer Authentication (SCA): A technology that ensures that online payment transactions are secure and that fraud is significantly reduced. SCA took effect beginning in 2022. Synthetic Identity: A type of fraud, online or inperson, that occurs when someone uses fabricated, or a combination of real and fake, personal or business information to create an identity with which to commit fraud. For example, a fraudster may combine a stolen Social Security number with a fake name,

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

www.plunkettresearch.com

date of birth and address to create a new identity. This synthetic identity could then be used to apply for credit and/or open accounts that could be used to commit frauds.

WoT: Web of Things. See “Internet of Things.”

Two-Factor Authentication: A strategy wherein two levels of ID are required after a username and password have been provided. For example, the requirement that the user enter a code that has been pushed to him/her via a text message.

WTO: See “World Trade Organization (WTO).”

Universal Directory: A system that increases system security while managing login and permissions (often SSO or Single Sign-On) across multiple types of software and datasets across an enterprise. For example, a Universal Directory may include information on many types of individuals and companies that need access to an enterprise's systems, including employees, partners, vendors and/or customers. User Experience (UX): An overall interaction that a user has with a product or service: the human-device interaction is a key point of differentiation for most tech companies. UX: See “User Experience (UX).” Vendor: Any firm, such as a manufacturer or distributor, from which a retailer obtains merchandise. Virtual Private Network (VPN): Cordons off part of a public network to create a private LAN. It is a common way of increasing login security. VPN: See “Virtual Private Network (VPN).” Web 3.0: See “Semantic Web" and "Web3." Web Services: Self-contained modular applications that can be described, published, located and invoked over the World Wide Web or another network. Web services architecture evolved from object-oriented design and is geared toward e-business solutions. Microsoft Corporation is focusing on web services with its .NET initiative. Also see “Extensible Markup Language (XML).” Web3: Not to be confused with the Semantic Web (which has, from time-to-time in the past, been called Web 3.0), a version of the world wide web based on blockchain technology. Also known as Web 3.0.

WSDL: See “Web Services Description Language (WSDL).”

XDR: See “Extended Detection and Response (XDR).” Zero Trust: A strategy wherein networks should never automatically assume that anything either within or outside the network is valid or trustworthy. This requires continual user authentication at a higher level. That is, access to an account or a network should not be provided until authorization and identity are well verified. This verification can be against a database of multiple ID factors. For example, a user with a verified username/password should be attempting access from a device that is typically utilized by that person, in a geolocation that is typical and from an IP address that is not blacklisted. Any access attempt that doesn't pass such real-time tests should be forced to pass through additional verification steps.
