Risk Roundup

Moji Kheyrian, Founder & Managing Director of the Center for Geopolitics & Security in Realism Studies (CGSRS) based in London, UK participates in Risk Roundup to discuss The Middle East Geopolitical Puzzle and Risks to Global Security.

Today, the Middle East is in chaos. The growing disorder in the resource-rich region brings critical security risks to each and every nation: its government, industries, organizations, academia, and individuals (NGIOA-I) in cyberspace-geospace and space (CGS).

While the Middle East has had a rich past, over the years it has declined and currently is going through great turbulence and is likely facing an uncertain future. How has this region that was once so rich in its civilization, religion, science, progress, development, and which has been historically an interconnection of people, trade, ideas, and innovation, completely lost its way? Does it have anything to do with its natural resources? Or is it the region’s governance framework: its ecosystem and effectiveness?

The complex challenges brought on by the growing turbulence in the Middle East necessitates an understanding and evaluation of the geopolitics of natural resources and their role in global security.

There is a widespread belief that the battle for natural resources has left a lasting and, more often than not, earth-shattering impact on Middle East nations and their associated politics, stakeholders, people, environments, resources, and economies. In addition, the broken spirit of people: its governance model and systems that curtail innovations and lack of desire to compete constructively on a global stage are becoming a cause of concern.

Amidst this dark scenario, the Middle East Nuclear Race is already underway. While the Global Community works towards constraining the Middle East’s nuclear ambitions, the question is will they be able to? So, where does the Middle East go from here? Time is now to talk about the Middle East Geopolitical puzzle and Risks to Global Security.

Brigadier General (retired) Blaine D. Holt, currently the President of Million Air Inc., an aerospace company based in Houston, Texas participates in Risk Roundup to discuss the Changing Nature of Warfare.

The digital global age has heralded both beginnings and ends.

Nations today stand on the verge of the most transformative period in all of human history as information, communication, and digitization technology, genetics, nanotechnology, robotics, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence merge and converge to make the once impossible imagination, possible.

It is not only human and non-human (i.e. machine) intelligence that is merging and creating unthinkable possibilities: the blurring boundaries between cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS) as well as nations: its government, industries, organizations, academia, and individuals (NGIOA-I) will fundamentally transform everything around us.

The pace of technological change coming our way is so rapid, its impact so deep, that each NGIOA, individually and collectively: its expectations and experiences, are and will be irreversibly transformed. This will undoubtedly change the whole global dynamics, security, and power structure in CGS.

As nations witness the end of their governments, industries, organizations, academia, and individuals living in isolation and the beginning of an interconnected NGIOA world and interdependent global economy that has moved beyond geospace, and is now vehemently contesting the commons like cyberspace and space, it is not only the battlefield that has expanded from geospace to cyberspace-geospace and space (CGS), it has fundamentally changed how nations fight wars.

Ronald Kopfer Jr, Founder, and Chairman at Heureka Software, LLC based in the United States participate in Risk Roundup to discuss Enterprise Digital Intelligence Risks and the Need for Smarter Search Tools.

The digital global age creates a large amount of digital content- that is digital data. Without having an effective ability to search digital data and have timely access to it, is like having digital content that has no value– if it is not accessible in the right format at the right time. The solution seems to revolve around “search engines”. Having effective “search engines” is how individuals and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) will be able to access the digital content either on an individual computer, intranet, or internet.

When we talk about any individual entity, organization, or enterprise, it is through such “search engines” that the internal human resources (individuals) find the information they need from anywhere, in any format, from anywhere within their entity – in databases, document management systems, inside anywhere-anyplace within their corporate boundaries. Getting the right information at the right time is the key to the right digital intelligence.

So in absence of effective tools and techniques, for any entity across NGIOA to have to go through large amounts of digital data within its organizational boundaries across nations is a complex challenge and a critical security risk.

While there are several search engines for the digital data and information that is published on the internet, when it comes to any individual entity or enterprise internal intranet across the geographical boundaries, effective “search” is still a complex challenge.

This is more so—when the nature of enterprise boundaries is now blurred in cyberspace, geospace, and space. (CGS). Moreover, there are reports that most enterprises still lack a central data and information repository that covers their boundaries across CGS.  Even the ones that have one are not very effective.

When enterprise data and data intelligence search is still a complex challenge and when we don’t have an ability to know whether the data and information that is found within the enterprise boundaries is authentic, it is a cause of concern. It is also a concern because even today different components of an entity or an enterprise have no knowledge or intelligence about the available data across its corporate boundaries.

Oleg Logvinov, Chair, IEEE Internet Initiative at IEEE, based in the United States participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Securing The Internet of Things (IoT)

Along with the ever-changing definition, nature, and purpose of computers, the continued evolution toward higher computing power, cheaper processors, faster communication networks, and rapidly increasing global connectivity has enabled a shift from desktop to laptops, to mobile phones, and now everyday connected objects, called “Internet of Things” (IoT).

When almost any physical device, object, or thing can now be internet-enabled and linked to additional computing power and analytic capabilities that make it “smart”; it creates limitless potential and possibilities for each nation: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA).

It is because of this potential that billions of physical devices are expected to join the global digital network in the coming years. As a result, there is growing excitement that “The Internet of Things (IoT)” will bring nations the next industrial revolution because of the way it will change the way, we the people, will live, work, entertain, shop, and travel, as well as how each NGIOA will interact with each other within and across nations.

This brings a number of opportunities as well as risks for each nation: its governments, industries, organizations, academia, and individuals (NGIOA-I).

Of all the technology trends that are taking place right now, the IoT brings the most complex challenges for which perhaps no nation is prepared. While the “Internet of Things” has great promise, the governance, regulatory, business, policy, operational and technical challenges must be tackled before these systems can be widely embraced across NGIOA.  Now is the time for decision-makers across NGIOA to structure their thoughts about the potential impact, opportunities, and risks that are likely to emerge from the Securing The Internet of Things (IoT).

Erik Wennerström, the Director-General, National Council for Crime Prevention, Stockholm, Sweden participates in Risk Roundup to discuss How to Prevent Cyber-Crimes.

Cybercrime has now surpassed illegal drug trafficking as a criminal profitable idea and innovation. With millions of cyber-attacks happening annually, cyber-crime is a real threat to anyone using computers, smartphones, tablets, the internet of things, and other gadgets on the internet.

The growing number of attacks means that there are over thousands of cyber-attacks happening every day, hundreds of attacks every hour, and nearly a few attacks every minute. Moreover, either somebody’s identity is stolen every few seconds, or someone’s confidential data is stolen, or someone falls prey to financial loss as a result of cyber-crime. Individually and collectively, these growing cyber-crimes are becoming a cause of great concern.

Each individual and entity across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) use the computer, internet, and cyberspace every day. From accessing social media to shop, bank, book travel, listen, watch or read the news, most tasks are now being done in cyberspace using the internet. Thinking and believing that connected computers and cyberspace is safe and secure at this point, will be the existential threat to our lives and the safety and security of our nations.

As a result, cyber-crime is a rapidly evolving threat to each individual and every entity across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA). No longer is cyber-crime a dark phenomenon limited to just a few opportunists from across nations. Cybercriminals are serious professionals and the “cyber-crime industry” operates exactly as legitimate businesses on a global scale.

From financial crime and corporate espionage to cyberbullying and cyber terrorism, cyberspace has become a safe haven for all manner of criminal activity. The threat posed by cyber-crime is getting bigger than ever, and it’s growing exponentially. When the most successful criminals are those that are able to hide behind the anonymity that cyberspace offers, and individuals are far more likely to be victimized in cyberspace than in geospace, it is a cause of concern to each one of us across nations. So the question is how to prevent cyber-crime?

Prof. Mischa Dohler (King’s College London) participates in Risk Roundup to discuss – Digital Communication – Current State, Trends, Risks, and Opportunities.

Digital communication is at the core of the Digital Global Age.

As the digital global age drives the need for more data, more information, more innovation, and more bandwidth, the telecommunications industry remains of crucial importance to each nation: its government, industries, organizations, academia, and individuals (NGIOA-I). The health, advances, security, and sustainability of this industry affect not only each nation’s economy but in many ways the very existence of the digital global age and the coming tomorrow of the space age.

When we evaluate communication, it seems nations have come a long way from smoke signals and drums to the telecommunication industry of today which uses electromagnetic waves and electronic transmitters to connect people, processes, talent, opportunity, resources and so much more. It is because of this industry that telephone, television, radio, computers, satellites, and the internet of things now allow communication to travel across NGIOA in cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS).

This industry has produced some of the most incredible fundamental technological changes in the history of nations, and all within perhaps little less than two centuries. It is because of this industry that we see the critical process of digitization happening across each NGIOA today. Even today in 2016, this industry is making great advances and innovations in all sectors: from wireless technology to the internet, and satellite communications, and more.

Because of the advances in information, communication, and digitization technology, there is widespread “digital disruption” happening across NGIOA. This is forcing even the telecommunication industry itself to invest heavily in innovation, and in the development of needed technology for today and the coming tomorrow.

Risk Group Founder, Jayshree Pandya Ph.D. discusses “Man-Machine Interaction: Communicating with Computers” with Joaquin Gomez Moya CEO of Pro-Asistech based in Spain.

Connected computers, the internet, information- communications networks, and digitization capability are important components of the digital global age that brings each nation: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) high socio-economic value as they add towards its digital transformation, progress, and prosperity. While the internet is currently at the center of global computer-communication infrastructures; next-generation network technologies, architectures, and protocols are also essential for further progress and development in CGS.

Such advances are necessary to overcome the current limitations brought on by the gaps in innovations in technologies and processes that would be essential to add new capabilities for the digital global age and the coming tomorrow of the space age. Irrespective of cyberspace, geospace, or space (CGS), we humans have always explored the ecosystem in which we live or exist. It is the environment of the ecosystem surrounding us that pushes each generation at times of the need for new ideas, innovations, discoveries, technologies, and processes to occur in our lifetime—thereby pushing the boundaries of our very potential and existence.

The digital global age has brought us to a similar juncture—where the information, communication, digitization technologies; along with the rapid advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, natural language processing, and other great innovations that are going even further in its goals and reach, are pushing the very boundaries of imagination, innovation and inner drive. Rich in data, potential and possibilities; these ideas, imaginations, and innovations are exploring and redefining the very foundations of the human relationship and interaction with the current and emerging technologies.

The on-going and emerging technology and process changes are fundamental to each and every one of us across nations as it affects the very fundamentals of how we operate as humans surrounded and transformed by technology, but also as nations and the human society overall. We are at a juncture where different forms of computers and machines are not just plain receivers of human instructions but collaborators, that is able to harness a full range of natural modes: including language, gesture and facial or other expressions that are hands-free and non-visual. This is becoming more important than ever for each individual across nations.

Dinesh O Bareja, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Open Security Alliance & Pyramid Cyber Security based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Data Security Risks.

We live in an age where cybercriminals can compromise any kind of data and information that can belong to any individual or any entity across nations: its governments, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA). Complex as it is, there doesn’t appear to be an easy way to halt this growing surge of cyber-attacks from anywhere and everywhere.

When “data” is fundamentally the life force of a digital global age, the ever-increasing data security breaches are becoming a growing problem for each nation and its components. From the small security breaches to big and low profile attacks to high, data breaches, cyber-attacks, stolen data, and data manipulation are practically becoming a normal affair for each NGIOA. No NGIOA seems to be immune to the data security challenges. Irrespective of personal data, corporate data, government data, or big data, securing data and information is proving to be very complex in a digital global age.

While data security faces its unique security challenges in geospace, it is also an issue for cyberspace, and with the amount of digital data ever-expanding and exploding across nations, knowing what the true values of the cyber breaches are, will become more and more challenging in both geospace and cyberspace.

Maarten Ectors, Vice President at Canonical Limited based in the United Kingdom participates in Risk Roundup to discuss the Internet of Things.

There is growing excitement that “The Internet of Things (IoT)” will bring nations “the next industrial revolution” because of the way it will transform the way, we the people, will live, work, entertain, shop, and travel, as well as how nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) will interact with each other, within and across nations boundaries in cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS).

There is a growing belief that the revolution is already here. Irrespective of whether the revolution has already begun or will begin in the coming years, one thing remains certain –it will bring each nation: its government, industries, organizations, academia, and individuals (NGIOA-I), each one of us great promise as well as great peril.

When physical objects, from across industries, businesses, homes, and the entire human ecosystem in CGS become embedded with sensors and gain the ability to communicate through connected computers, the new information networks will need to create new integrated: governance models, business models, technology, business processes, and way of doing things. While this will likely reduce costs, increase speed, efficiency, and bring new opportunities for NGIOA, it is also expected to create many new risks and bring each NGIOA complex challenges.

Of all the technology trends that are taking place right now, the IoTs bring NGIOA the most complex challenges for which perhaps no nation is prepared. While the Internet of Things has great promise; the business, policy, governance, security, privacy, operational and technical challenges must be tackled before these systems are widely embraced.  Now is the time for decision-makers across NGIOA to structure their thoughts about the potential impact, opportunities, and risks likely to emerge from the Internet of Things. Time is now to understand the Internet of Things.

Michael Goedker, Founder and CEO of HAKDEFNET based in Germany, participate in Risk Roundup to discuss “Impact of Cyber-Security Risks on Global Business”.

Cyberspace has brought an increasingly tempting opportunity for criminals, activists, spies, and terrorists that are interested in either making money, get noticed, cause disruption, or even bring down an individual or an entity across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) through cyber-attacks. What is the impact of cyber-security risks on global business?

Cybercrime is no longer a dark and secret phenomenon limited to just a few opportunists scattered across nations. Cyber-criminals are serious professionals that are on the rise as “cyber-crime” seems to be becoming a rapid and profitable growth industry. From financial crime and corporate espionage to state-sponsored terrorism, cyberspace has now become a safe haven for all kinds of criminal activities that are very profitable.

Moreover, with the lack of integrated global security framework across cyberspace, geospace, space (CGS), and in the absence of global rules and standards, nations are allowing free reign to this un-welcome industry. In addition, it has also been reported that the investment required for cyber-crime is insignificant, whereas the returns are heard to be great. As a result, the threat posed by cyber-crime is growing rapidly and exponentially.

When the risks seem to be very low for cyber-crimes and cybercriminals, the unchecked growth is costing the global economy billions of dollars. While there is an attempt to discuss the cost of cyber-crime and cyber-espionage, it is equally important to evaluate the damage to its victims: that is individuals, businesses, industries, nations, and the global economy.

For each and every entity across NGIOA, there is no escaping the blatant realities of today’s interconnected and inter-dependent digital global age—and the complex risks it brings to each entity across NGIOA in CGS. Time is now to talk about the impact of cyber-security risks on global business.
