Risk Roundup

Ulf Mattsson, a CTO of Protegrity participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Encryption and Security Risks.

In a digital global age, digital data touches almost every component of a nation: its government, industries, organizations, academia, and individuals (NGIOA). In the coming years, almost everything is expected to become digitized.

This growing surge of unsecured digital data leaves each and every individual and entity across nations increasingly vulnerable to security risks.

While the technology for managing and communicating digital data is improving at a remarkable rate, the rapid technological advances and progress come at the expense of security. Moreover, as information and communication technology rapidly changes, it is becoming less possible to identify, manage or control where digital data originates, or where digital data flows and ends up.

There are many who feel that the cryptographic techniques will likely become the only viable approach to assuring the privacy and security of digital data as there is a growing belief that highly secure encryption can be deployed relatively cheaply, and it can be broadly adopted and embedded fairly easily in most digital communications products and applications for handling potentially valuable digital data.

Time is now to talk about Encryption and Security Risks.

Kelley Dempsey from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) participates in Risk Roundup to discuss the Security Centric Integrated Risk Management Framework.

Cyberspace has brought complex, chaotic, and challenging times for each nation: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA).

Cyberspace can be related to a neural network of a human brain—that runs through all the components of a nation, enabling them to connect, communicate, collaborate, and function. Managing the security risks of this complex digital neural network is vital for each NGIOA. As cyberspace is deeply embedded across each component of a nation, the crowded interconnections have caught each nation: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) off guard.

These interconnections and inter-dependencies raise an important question, on whether our current risk management frameworks, tools, technologies, and processes are effective in managing the security risks of cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS).

Honorable Branko Terzic, a former Utility CEO, Commissioner on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and Commissioner on the State of Wisconsin Public Service Commission, and currently a Managing Director at Berkley Research Group participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Energy Warfare.

Science and technology innovations have always been the backbone of economic expansion across nations. From flying shuttles to the spinning jenny, the electric motor to the diesel engine, and in recent times the internet and the internet of things, each innovation has fundamentally transformed nations while ramping up the economic engine.

Innovation has always been and still is undoubtedly an important driver of economic growth. While the world is hoping to trigger large industrial innovations on the back of climate regulations, the reality remains that the nations currently live in the “Fossil Fuel Age”.

The journey of hydrocarbons that started approximately a hundred and fifty years ago to now has been filled with major controversies and complex relationships between regulators and the regulated. The current climate of “regulatory carbon capture” brings not only the fossil fuels industry, but each nation: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) its own sets of opportunities as well as security risks.

Many oil-producing nations seem to be in visible turmoil and energy warfare is on the rise. If stability, security, and sustainability are to be achieved, it is important to identify, evaluate and understand opportunities as well as risks facing the energy industry today and in the coming tomorrow.

Chuck Brooks, Advisor, Technology Partner Network, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Securing Internet of Things: Government Readiness.

Along with the ever-changing nature of computing and computers, the continued evolution toward our broadening horizons has made possible a shift from the desktop, to the laptop, to mobile phones, and now everyday connected objects called “The Internet of Things” (IoT).

As almost any physical device can now be internet-enabled, connected, and smart, billions of physical devices are expected to join the global digital network in the coming years–bringing a number of opportunities as well as security risks for everyone.

As a result, nations and their governments that adopt a wait-and-see attitude toward the IoTs are unlikely to develop the expertise they need to effectively govern in a digital global age, nor will they stimulate the trust needed to efficiently deliver government services and to reassure concerned citizens about how IoTs will affect them. This undoubtedly will have a huge impact. Time is now to discuss the Internet of Things Security and Government Readiness.

Fritz Venter, Founder, and CEO of Computed Future participate in Risk Roundup to discuss Artificial Intelligence driven Cyber-Security.

As nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) aim for broader capabilities beyond geospace and its geographical boundaries, the emerging interconnected and interdependent systems of cyberspace-geospace and space (CGS) are creating complex security challenges that seem to be beyond human intelligence, speed, and capabilities.

The biggest hurdle in managing cyber-security risks is probably the speed of the cyber attacks and the amount of data and its inter-dependencies that must be analyzed in order to be able to respond in real-time. Due to the dynamic nature of the security threats, there is a growing belief that cyber-security or cyber-defense cannot be handled by humans with the current traditional tools that they have and without a considerable level of automation.

As intelligence is key for competition, communication, and collaboration in cyberspace, geospace, and space, it is hoped that the application of processes of artificial intelligence could help to dynamically respond to cyber threats by implementing learning capability in automation software.

While the ability to create autonomous intelligent robots with perception, cognition, and action, able to coexist with humans can be viewed as the ultimate and most challenging goal of artificial intelligence, the immediate priorities are perhaps to secure cyberspace.

Time is now to discuss artificial intelligence-driven cyber-security.

Dr. James Hughes from the Institute of Ethics and Emerging Technologies participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Technology Super Convergence and Security Risks.

Nations currently stand on the verge of the most transformative and turbulent period in all of human history. As information technology, genetics, nanotechnology, robotics, and artificial intelligence merge and converge to make the once impossible imagination possible, it is not only human and machine intelligence that will merge and create unthinkable possibilities: the likes of molecular manufacturing and other technological advances will bring earth-shattering potential to build virtually any physical item quickly and inexpensively directly from untainted and pure information.

The pace of technological change coming our way is expected to be so rapid, its impact so deep, that human life, its expectations, and experiences will be irreversibly transformed. When the rapidly emerging technological convergence that is close to reaching the commercialization stage is about to create a technological tsunami, it will undoubtedly change the whole global dynamics, security, and power structure.

This will not only fundamentally change human lives but will also create new industries, destroy a few industries, impact a large number of industry sectors, evaporate a number of businesses, create a significant amount of hi-tech specialized and skilled jobs, destroy a large number of unskilled jobs, collapse a few nations and change the nature of an unprecedented number of security risks in cyberspace, geospace, and space. It will be by far much more complex and much bigger than any security risks we face in cyberspace, geospace and space currently!

Time is now to talk about technology superconvergence and security risks.

Prof. Aman Aggarwal, a renowned Economist, and a Senior Vice-Chairman at the Indian Institute of Finance participate in Risk Roundup to discuss the Economic Impact of Cyber-Security Risks.

As the digital global age continues the integration of computers, communities, and cultures, it also brings an unfamiliar compulsion for individuals and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) to come together, and work towards a collective security goal, within and across its geographical boundaries.

Each new cyber-attack or breach of information and data security brings nations on the path of the unprecedented robbery that has potential consequences of the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. This is a cause of great concern.

While these break-ins exist due to the lack of effective integrated security in cyberspace, geospace, and space, it is allowing hundreds of thousands of pages of ideas, designs, business plans, blueprints, and other forms of intellectual property taken without knowledge or permission from entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA).  Evaluating the cyber-thefts and their impact in economic terms will help NGIOA understand the quality and quantity of its security efforts and the need for new security initiatives in cyberspace and geospace.

Time is now to understand the economic impact of cyber-security risks.

Todd Bell, a Global Chief Information Security Officer from Global Data Lock participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Data Security Risks.

While data is the life force of a digital global age, the ever-increasing data breaches are becoming a growing global problem.

From the low to high profile attacks, and the attacks that are not yet known– data breaches, stolen data, and data manipulation are increasingly becoming routine across nations.

As a result of today, no nation: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) seems to be immune to the data security challenges. Irrespective of personal data, corporate data, or big data, securing data at rest or data in motion is proving to be very complex for everyone across nations.

Irrespective of individuals or entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia, since, there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to halt the flood of data security breaches, time is now to talk about data security risks.

Brian Bobo, Vice President, Enterprise Security at Schneider National participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Enterprise Security Risks.

Overview

The digital global age has pushed the traditional boundaries of each and every enterprise across each and every nation: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA). As the emerging borderless world redefines the very parameters and perimeters of an enterprise– managing the undefined and undocumented borders and securing them in an increasingly borderless world has become a complex challenge.

Public or private, large or small, building, managing, and securing any enterprise today in a borderless world is becoming complex. This is mainly because it requires not only understanding of a world that has triangular linkages between cyberspace, geospace, and space, but also has a dotted and solid line reporting relationships between an enterprise and individuals and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA).

As a result, when any single enterprise across any NGIOA tries to secure its undefined and porous borders amidst dotted and solid relationships– the intended and unintended consequences are creating complex challenges in defining, building, managing, and maintaining a stable and sustainable enterprise security system.

While the focus here on an enterprise security system is to emphasize that it is the enterprise: its ideas, initiatives, relationships, and activities that are to be secured in a digital global age– and that the security of data, computers and networks is only a means to this end, there are many complex enterprise variables that need to be evaluated. Time is not to talk about Enterprise Security Risks.

Rebecca Gurley Bace (Becky Bace), Chief Strategist, Centre for Forensics, Information Technology and Security based in the United States participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Information Security Risks.

Since, information and communication technologies are as essential to modern society as air, food, and water, life today would be utterly unthinkable without information and communication technologies.

While information and communication technologies have connected the society and removed the barriers of communication for nations: its governments, industries, organizations, academia, and individuals across nations’ geographical boundaries, it has also helped allow collaboration and cooperation to reduce costs, improve processes, boost innovation, and increase productivity.

But the most important contribution of the information and communication technology is perhaps the ability to access real and authentic information without the filters of propaganda model which individuals are able to use across nations to tackle the critical challenges of not only our time but also of the coming future.

Time is now to talk about information security risks.
