Risk Roundup Webcast: Emerging Technology For Cyber Warfare

Emerging Technology For Cyber Warfare

The rapidly evolving cyber warfare has no visible front, borders, or armies. It has become a real threat to everyone today. So, as we evaluate emerging technologies like blockchain, artificial intelligence, internet of things (IoT), autonomous systems, human-made electromagnetic spectrum, 5G, smart dust, nanotechnology, biotechnology, and more; there are all indicators that while security risks are going to proliferate, each of these technologies can be used for offense as well as defense.

So, as we evaluate the ongoing cyberwarfare getting integrated with emerging technologies, and its scope of overall entanglement with geospace, aquaspace, and space; the anonymity of enemy soldiers in the cyber domain; and the leveling of attack capabilities, we are entering an era where it seems a new paradigm of cyber conflict and warfare management seems essential. 

Each of the emerging technologies, individually and collectively are fundamentally changing the definition and meaning of security in cyberspace, aquaspace, geospace, and space—and as a result, there’s no such thing as ‘secure’ anymore in the entire human ecosystem of CAGS. When the security concept is currently being subjected to significant changes concerning its aims, capabilities, sources, connectivity, and the dimension of threats, it makes us wonder how the many unknowns of emerging technologies are influencing cyber warfare.

So, as we take a step forward, the battle between

cybersecurity offense and defense is expected to escalate–and emerging
technologies will need to find their way into balancing the already complex
security paradigm. It is essential to understand and evaluate:

  • What
technology trends, challenges, and threats await us all as we go forward?
  • How
  • are emerging technologies, changing the security paradigm?
  • What
  • role emerging technologies are playing in cyber warfare?
  • Which
  • are the emerging innovations in technology that will have broader implications
    for cyber-warfare in the coming years?
  • How
  • will AI and machine learning/deep learning boost cyber offense as well as
    defenses?
  • How
  • important are emerging technologies capabilities for cyberwarfare?

    When we evaluate emerging technologies like the internet of

    things (IoT), autonomous systems (weapons and vehicles), next-generation
    virtualized infrastructures (e.g., software-defined networks and 5G), virtual
    and augmented reality, the internet of bio-nano things, AI and robotics, it is crucial
    to understand which emerging technologies will bring offensive and defensive
    capabilities to cyber warfare. The time is now to discuss and debate Emerging
    Technology for Cyber Warfare.
