Breakout 1
How can emerging technologies like quantum, artificial intelligence, biometrics and blockchain contribute to the resilience and security of today’s societies and organisations? From revolutionising sectors such as healthcare, energy and finance to strengthening cyber security, these innovations will usher in a new era defined by unparalleled advances.
However, their counterpoint is that many of these innovations pose new critical risks. The World Economic Forum’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2024 report states that almost 56% of leaders think emerging technologies will prove advantageous to cyber attackers. The report asserts that we need to shift from ‘the traditional mindset of security by design’ and to ‘adopt a resilience by design approach’. This session will feature some of the cutting-edge innovations in this space as we explore how we can make the most of these technologies whilst remaining safe.
