IoT security is bad mostly everywhere, but threats against medical devices bring some of the most worrying potential for damage against health care organizations and their patients.

In predictions for 2030, researchers honed in on a list of emerging technologies that could create new wrinkles in the security landscape, including automation, machine learning and AI, additive manufacturing and the prevalence of 5G and widescale IoT.

Security teams that support IT and OT often find themselves at odds in terms of priorities and incident response tactics, heightening the risk that emerges as these two environments converge. Gamification is one tactic that help address conflict.

Today's special columnist, Scott Register of Keysight Technologies, says government and industry must come together to secure the nation's critical infrastructure in the wake of the Colonial Pipeline hack.
