"The year 2001 will see a marked increase in small computer security companies. Like the mom-and-pop ISPs of the mid-90s that later consolidated into the major ISPs we have today, these companies will flourish by filling a void generated by businesses looking to outsource the security of their computer networks and e-commerce systems. Eventually these companies will consolidate into the larger e-security businesses: the 21st Century equivalents of Pinkerton and Brinks. 2001 will also see continued development of distributed denial of service attack networks. These attack networks will no longer rely on manual establishment by the attacker, but will automatically establish themselves through the use of mobile code and html scripting."
