Dear readers,

We are approaching the end of the year, so it is time to think about the future and the year ahead. We are pleased to present you our very special project created by joint forces of eForensics and Hakin9 Magazines – “Predictions for cyber security in 2016”.

This special edition was based on interviews with representatives of companies that had agreed to participate in our project. We would like to give our most sincere thanks to all the participants of this project. You made this possible and without you we wouldn’t be able to make this unique edition.

Additional and very special thanks to the Proofreaders who helped with this issue. Your involvement and support of the creation of this magazine is invaluable.

 

Thank you for all the support,

eForensics and Hakin9 Teams
