• The growing sophistication of fraudsters and their ability to stay a step ahead of the latest security solutions;
• The concurrent "consumerization" of the workplace - employees using home PCs for work, work PCs at home, and increased activity in social media.

Such is the counsel from John Pescatore, VP and distinguished analyst at Gartner. In an exclusive interview on security trends, threats and solutions, Pescatore discusses:

• The threats that concern him most;
• Encouraging security solutions;
• Trends to watch as we head toward 2011.

Pescatore has 32 years of experience in computer, network and information security. Prior to joining Gartner, he was senior consultant for Entrust Technologies and Trusted Information Systems, where he started and managed security consulting groups. His previous experience includes 11 years with GTE, as well as employment with NSA and the U.S. Secret Service.
