Various 2008 threat predictions have already hit headlines. Some mention VOIP and virtualization , others mention malware evolution and Facebook widgets that will be used to distribute malware. However, facts and figures indicate that the challenges faced in 2008 will not stem from technology itself; for in its nature technology is a neutral element that can either be used in a good or in a bad way.

The biggest threat for 2008 is the same threat to businesses that has been around for the last 200,000 years – the Human Being himself. Human beings, their weaknesses, fallacies and inquisition can all be exploited to wreck havoc within organizations.
