Search Encrypt shares Verdict Encrypt’s predictions on digital privacy and cybersecurity in 2018. We’re advocates for data security and privacy. Moving forward, growing concern over threats to cybersecurity will lead to more people finding ways to protect themselves.

Generation Z (the generation currently graduating from university and entering the job market) poses new threats because they are so used to sharing information online. Not only is this group more likely to put more information online, they are also more capable of using their resources to find easily-obtainable information.

2017 was a great year for private search engines, like Search Encrypt. 2018 looks to be another great year as privacy becomes the norm, rather than an extra feature.
