NICCT Online Debate on ‘Where does Cybersecurity go from here?’ – 12 November 2020

Where does Cybersecurity go from here?

The COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting dispersion of large parts of the workforce, has highlighted the growing digital interconnectedness of the world while also underscoring the threat that this poses for enterprises and their customers. The Internet of Things – the explosion of networked and cloud-enabled devices, from home appliances to crop sensors and adoption of 5G technology – is just one realm that is increasingly vulnerable to malicious cyberattacks. What new approaches to cybersecurity can enterprises adopt to maintain their business resilience, to protect themselves and their customers from these growing threats? One answer lies in various evolving cognitive technologies – such as Al, ML, automated networks, and supercomputing – which can help companies navigate the increasingly treacherous cyber-threat landscape.
